Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Thursday, June 6, 2019

Round Rock 26, Las Vegas 11

W- Rogelio Armenteros (3-4)
L- Jake Buchanan (3-4)

RR home runs: Kyle Tucker 2 (20; solo in 5th, solo in 9th), Nick Tanielu 2 (8; 2-run in 4th, solo in 8th), Taylor Jones (12, solo in 8th)

Yes, that really is the final score.

The Express blew this game wide, wide open in the 7th. They put up 13 runs and batted around twice in the inning. By the time the dust settled, they pushed their lead to 19-3.

Rogelio Armenteros turned in a bare minimum quality start, allowing five hits (two-run homer), walking three, and striking out five. Justin Ferrell, in his Triple-A debut, allowed four runs on four hits (solo homer), walked one, and struck out one in two innings. Oscar Campos hit a two-run double in the top of the 9th and then pitched the bottom of the 9th. He allowed a three-run homer and a solo homer but he did have a 19-run lead to work with.

Somehow, Yordan Alvarez missed out on the party, but he did draw a couple of walks in that crazy 7th inning.



The Express will start a four-game series in Salt Lake City at 7:05 Mountain.

Corpus Christi 3, Amarillo 1

W- Layne Henderson (1-1)
L- David Bednar (0-5)
S- Nick Hernandez (1)

CC home runs: Granden Goetzman (13, solo in 2nd)

The Hooks took control with a pair of runs after stretch time.

J.B. Bukauskas went six innings and allowed a run on five hits, walked two, and struck out five. Layne Henderson was the first man out of the Hooks bullpen and he went 1.2 innings, allowing two hits and issuing two walks. Nick Hernandez got the final four outs of the game to earn the save.

Granden Goetzman opened the scoring by clubbing a solo homer in the 2nd inning. This was Corpus Christi's only scoring play until the 7th, when they scored twice to take the lead.

Hector Martinez got plunked and Ramiro Rodríguez singled to lead off the inning. Javier Bermúdez, who just came up from extended spring training, tried to sacrifice both of them over but Martinez was forced out at third. Osvaldo Duarte flew out for the second out, but the rally proved to be successful as Chas McCormick hit an RBI single. Bermúdez, who advanced to third on McCormick's base hit, scored on a wild pitch. Goetzman and Rodríguez finished with two hits apiece.

Bryan Abreu takes the mound for game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:15.

Fayetteville 8, Wilmington 1

W- Luís Garcia (1-0, 5-0 season)
L- Daniel Tillo (4-5)

Fayetteville home runs: Jake Adams (9, solo in 5th), Chandler Taylor (3, 2-run in 5th)

The Woodpeckers opened up a new series by blowing out their hosts.

Jojanse Torres allowed two hits, walked four, and struck out three over four scoreless innings. Luís Garcia got the win in his Carolina League debut as he allowed two hits, walked three, and struck out six over three scoreless. The Blue Rocks spoiled the shutout with a run off of Jacob Billingsley in the 8th. Billingsley also allowed two hits, walked two, and struck out two. Miguelangel Sierra was deputized as a pitcher for the 9th inning and he worked around a walk to finish off the game. He now holds the distinction of being the first position player to pitch for the Woodpeckers.

Fayetteville parlayed a bases-loaded situation to lead off the 2nd into three runs. Michael Papierski grounded out to bring in Scott Schreiber for the first run. An error allowed Jacob Meyers to score and Bryan de la Cruz hit a sac fly. Papierski hit an RBI single in the 4th and the Woodpeckers got a pair of homers in the 5th; Jake Adams hit a solo shot and Chandler Taylor launched a two-run blast. Colton Shaver ripped an RBI double in the 6th for the last Fayetteville run. Taylor and de la Cruz had three hits apiece, while Papierski and Schreiber had two each.

Chad Donato faces Kris Bubic in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05 Eastern.

Quad Cities 1, Peoria 0

W- Felipe Tejada (1-0)
L- Freddy Pacheco (0-2)

QC home runs: None.

There was only one run in this game. It belonged to Quad Cities and it allowed them to walk off with a victory... in their opponent's home ballpark.

Cody Deason and Felipe Tejada combined to throw a one-hitter. Deason allowed the one hit, walked one, and struck out three in seven innings. He finished off his evening by retiring the last 16 batters he faced. Tejada struck out two over two perfect innings to complete the shutout.

David Hensley tripled to lead off the 2nd but was stranded there. Both teams combined to put up 17 zeroes on the scoreboard until the bottom of the 9th. Ruben Castro walked to lead off the inning and Hensley ended it by lashing a double. Hensley had two of the four River Bandits' hits in this game.

The Banditos, who will have access to their ballpark once again, will begin a three-game series with Kane County at 6:35.

DSL Astros 10, DSL Athletics 0

W- José Nodal (1-0)
L- Stiven Montilla (0-1)
S- Juan De Los Santos (1)

DSL home runs: Omar Díaz (1, solo in 4th)

The Dominican 'Stros dominated the A's in all facets of the game: they got ten runs on offense and four pitchers combined on a one-hitter.

They got a couple of sac flies in the 1st inning from Cristian Gonzalez and Ricardo Toro. Omar Díaz launched a solo homer in the 4th inning. Gonzalez added an RBI single later in the frame and he wound up scoring on a wild pitch. The Academy turned a bases-loaded situation in the 5th into three runs and they didn't need a hit to get those runs as Yohander Martinez got plunked and then Miguel Palma and Gonzalez drew walks. They tacked on two more in the 8th as Enmanuel Morillo ripped an RBI double and he scored the final run of the day when Díaz hit into a force out. Díaz went 2-4 and was the only player on either side to finish with a multi-hit game.

Carlos Calderón walked three and struck out six in three innings of work. Miguel Padilla threw a 1-2-3 4th inning. José Nodal walked one, hit three batters, and struck out three in two innings of work, and Juan De Los Santos allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out three over the final three innings to complete the shutout.

These two teams will play again at the A's complex at 11:30 AM Atlantic.
