Fayetteville sweep!
Oklahoma City 7, Round Rock 3
W- Rob Zastryzny (3-3)
L- Framber Valdez (1-1)
S- Casey Sadler (1)
RR home runs: None.
The Dodgers went off for five in the 4th to bust this open.
Framber Valdez pitched three innings and allowed two hits, one of which was a two-run double, walked two, and struck out seven. Tanner Duncan and Justin Ferrell pitched two innings apiece with contrasting results. Duncan bore the brunt of OKC's big 4th as he allowed those five runs on four hits (three-run homer), walked two, and struck out three. On the other hand, Ferrell allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out three in a scoreless outing. Brendan McCurry worked around a walk to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out two.
Alex De Goti hit an RBI double in the 2nd to open the scoring. This would be Round Rock's last scoring play until the 9th; meanwhile, the Dodgers took a commanding lead. Nick Tanielu ripped an RBI double in the 9th and De Goti brought him in with a single. Tanielu went 3-4 on the night and both of De Goti's hits drove in runs.
Brandon Bielak will take the mound as the E-Train looks to avoid a sweep. He'll go against Dennis Santana at 1:05.
Corpus Christi 10, Midland 0
W- Chad Donato (4-9)
L- Kyle Friedrichs (3-4)
CC home runs: Colton Shaver (11, grand slam in 8th)
Two debuting pitchers made quite the first impression on their new club.
Chad Donato, a product of Cypress Woods High School, was a winner in his Texas League debut and he did so in dominating fashion, allowing two hits, walking two, and striking out a season-high ten over 6.2 shutout innings. Leovanny Rodríguez, also making his Texas League debut, completed the shutout by allowing two hits and striking out three over the final 2.1 innings.
Seth Beer opened the scoring by poking an RBI single through the right side of the infield in the 3rd inning. J.J. Matijevic opened the 4th with a single and he wound up scoring on a botched pickoff attempt. Aníbal Sierra ripped an RBI double later in the inning. Sierra added a two-run single in the 6th and Abraham Toro added an RBI single later in the frame. Colton Shaver provided the cherry in the 8th when he clubbed a grand slam. Toro went 4-5 on the evening. He was the only person in the Corpus lineup who didn't score a run, but he set the pace in the hit department. Sierra finished 3-4 while Lorenzo Quintana and J.J. Matijevic had two hits apiece.
Brandon Bailey will take on Brian Howard in the series finale. First pitch is at 4:15.
Fayetteville 6, Winston-Salem 2
W- J.P. France (3-5)
L- Konnor Pilkington (1-5)
S- Yeremi Ceballos (1)
Fayetteville home runs: None.
The Woodpeckers pulled away in the middle innings to earn a series sweep on the road.
J.P. France turned in a solid outing as he allowed two runs on six hits (solo homer), walked two, and struck out three in six innings of work. Yeremi Ceballos closed it out by striking out three over three perfect innings.
Fayetteville had two men in scoring position in the 3rd and they turned that situation into three runs. Corey Julks opened the scoring with an RBI single and then Scott Manea followed with a sac fly and Enmanuel Valdez hit an RBI single. Manea ripped an RBI double in the 5th and Chandler Taylor smacked a two-run double in the 6th.
Both of Taylor's hits in this game were doubles. Valdez also finished with two hits on the night and Peña went 3-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored. The stolen bags were his first two in the Carolina League and he now has 19 on the season.
The Woodpeckers will start a three-game series in Potomac at 6:05 Eastern.
Cedar Rapids 3, Quad Cities 0
W- Andrew Cabezas (3-5)
L- Matt Ruppenthal (3-3)
QC home runs: None.
The Banditos held the Kernels to four hits in this one. Problem is... they only had one hit and they were kept off the scoreboard.
David Hensley broke up Andrew Cabezas' no-hit bid with a two-out single in the 7th.
Matt Ruppenthal went 5.2 innings and allowed three runs on four hits (two-run homer), walked three, and struck out seven. Hansel Paulino walked two and fanned three over the final 3.1 innings.
José Bravo takes on Kai-wei Teng in game two of this series. First pitch is at 5:15.

GCL Astros 3, GCL Mets 2 (10 innings)
W- Jherson Pereira (3-0)
L- Noah Nuñez (1-1)
GCL home runs: None.
The Palm Beach 'Stros got a run in the first extra frame to nip the Mets. After an 0-6 start, they've won five of their last six games.
No pitcher worked three innings in this one. Kevin Holcomb started things off by allowing a hit and striking out one in two innings. Elián Rodríguez and Heitor Tokar followed with 2.2 innings apiece; Rodríguez allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits (solo homer), walked two, and struck out three, while Tokar allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out four. Chandler Casey and Jherson Pereira threw 1.1 innings each. Casey allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out one and Pereira struck out two in a perfect outing.
Abraham Castillo hit a two-run single in the 7th to tie the game at 2. Yeuris Ramírez started off the 10th in scoring position. Castillo drew a walk and Sean Mendoza reached on a bunt single to load the bases for Franklin Pinto, who put the Astros in front with a sac fly. They couldn't get anything else, but that sac fly turned out to be enough.
DSL Astros 5, DSL Rays1 1
W- Juan De Los Santos (2-0)
L- Orlando Barrios (1-1)
DSL home runs: Carlos Hurtado (1, solo in 4th)

Danny Subero pitched an inning and he walked five while striking out two; he pitched in the 8th but didn't record an out. Luis Vega allowed a hit and struck out three over the final two innings after taking ownership of the 8th inning.
Carlos Hurtado smacked a solo homer in the 4th to tie the game at 1. Omar Díaz and Yohander Martinez led off the 6th with singles and Hurtado brought them both in to put the Dominican 'Stros in front. Hurtado advanced to second on a balk and he came around to score on Miguel Palma's single. Hurtado and Palma both finished with two hits on the day.
