Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Wednesday, July 17, 2019

The rain made its presence felt...

Round Rock 11, Memphis 8

W- Kent Emanuel (4-1)
L- Jesús Cruz (2-6)
S- Brendan McCurry (5)

RR home runs: Josh Rojas 2 (17; solo in 4th, 2-run in 7th), Alex De Goti (9, 3-run in 2nd)

The E-Train roared back from an early 7-0 deficit by finishing this game on an 11-1 run.

Akeem Bostick got bombed but the bullpen responded with 7.1 innings of one-run ball. Kent Emanuel pitched six innings and allowed a run on six hits, walked one, and struck out four. Brendan McCurry got a four-out save, striking out two.

After Memphis scored twice in the top of the 2nd to take a 7-0 lead, the Express rattled off five in the bottom half to get back in the game. Alex De Goti whacked a three-run homer and then Jamie Ritchie ripped an RBI double and scored on Carlos Correa's base hit.

Josh Rojas led off the 4th with a homer. Aledmys Díaz reached on an error and he scored on a double from Correa. Taylor Jones and De Goti drew walks to load the bases for Chas McCormick, who came through with an RBI single to put Round Rock in front. Ritchie smacked another RBI double in the 7th and he scored when Rojas absolutely crushed a ball to left-center for a two-run homer.

For Rojas, this is his first multi-homer game with Round Rock and fourth on the season. He, McCormick, and Ritchie all had two hits on the evening. Correa finished 3-4 with a couple of runs driven in and a run scored, while Aledmys went 0-4 with a walk and a run scored.

The Express and Redbirds will wrap up this series at 7:05.

Corpus Christi 4, Northwest Arkansas 0

W- Enoli Paredes (5-3)
L- Brady Singer (2-2)
S- Willy Collado (6)

CC home runs: None.

The Hooks offense took advantage of some shambolic defense from the Naturals while Enoli Paredes and Willy Collado shackled their offense.

Paredes allowed three hits, walked three, and struck out nine over six shutout innings and Collado completed the shutout by striking out four over the final three innings.

With the bases loaded in the 4th, Colton Shaver hit a grounder to third that should have ended the inning. Instead, an error allowed everyone to come home. Chuckie Robinson scored the final run of the night in the 7th on an error after Osvaldo Duarte hit into a fielder's choice. No one on either side finished with a multi-hit game.

J.B. Bukauskas takes on Gerson Garabito in the series finale. First pitch is at 6:15.

Fayetteville and Lynchburg was postponed


Due to rain. This game will be made up as part of a doubleheader tonight with game one starting at 5:00 Eastern. Tyler Ivey is listed as the starter for the first game and he'll take on Justin Garza.

Quad Cities 9, Dayton 3

W- Jonathan Bermúdez (3-2)
L- Jhon De Jesus (2-9)

QC home runs: Austin Dennis (2, 2-run in 2nd)

The Banditos stormed out of the gate and got the cushion they needed to make a Dayton rally look a little less menacing.

Jonathan Bermúdez allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out eight over five shutout innings. R.J. Freure tagged in for three innings and he allowed three runs on five hits, walked three, and struck out two. Hunter Martin walked two and struck out one in a scoreless 9th.

The Banditos loaded the bases to lead off the 1st and they ended up getting three runs out of it as César Salazar hit a sac fly and Grae Kessinger followed with a two-run single. Austin Dennis smacked a two-run homer in the 2nd inning. Salazar ripped a two-run double in the 5th and came around to score on a Jonathan Lacroix single. Lacroix scored Quad Cities' final run of the night on a single from Dennis. Salazar, Dennis, and Kessinger all had two hits on the night.

Brett Daniels gets the start in game two. He'll go against Lyon Richardson at 6:35.

Tri-City and Lowell was postponed

Due to rain. This game will be made up as part of a doubleheader tonight with game one starting at 5:00 Eastern.

W- Francis Ventura (1-0)
L- Jairo Lopez (1-1)
S- Anthony Trompiz (1)

GCL home runs: Victor Mascai (1, 2-run in 2nd)

The Cardinals came alive as they scored all nine of their runs in the final four innings.

Victor Mascai launched a two-run homer in the 2nd inning and the Palm Beach 'Stros got a couple of sac flies from Franklin Pinto and Yorbin Ceuta in the 7th. Ceuta, Sean Mendoza, José Mendoza, and Tyler Krabbe all finished with two hits on the day.

Kevin Dickey walked one and struck out three over three scoreless innings. Everyone else... gave up runs.

DSL Dodgers Bautista 11, DSL Astros 0 (7 innings)
