Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Monday, August 5, 2019

I'm sorry for the lack of updates recently... I just needed a little time off for personal reasons. Also, the constant churning out of recaps started to wear me down a bit. Good news though... I'm hopping back in the saddle today.

Round Rock 6, Sacramento 3

W- Framber Valdez (3-2)
L- Casey Meisner (2-1)
S- Ronel Blanco (5)

RR home runs: Nick Tanielu (13, solo in 6th)

Both teams scored in three separate innings but the E-Train put up a couple of crooked numbers to swing this game in their favor.

Framber Valdez went six innings and allowed two runs on five hits, walked two, and struck out eight. Cy Sneed, Dean Deetz, and Ronel Blanco all pitched an inning to finish things off. Sneed allowed a solo homer and struck out two in the 7th, Deetz allowed a hit and struck out one in a scoreless 8th, and Blanco struck out one in a 1-2-3 9th to earn the save.

Round Rock turned a bases-loaded situation in the 2nd into three runs as Jamie Ritchie put them on the board with a sac fly, Alex De Goti hit an RBI single, and Abraham Toro got plunked with the bases loaded. Nick Tanielu smacked a solo homer in the 6th and Round Rock got two more in the 7th on a Jack Mayfield RBI single and a Kyle Tucker sac fly. Ritchie was the only person to go hitless but he still had his sac fly.

Round Rock will spend Tuesday traveling to El Paso, where they'll kick off a three-game series on Wednesday.

Arauz opened the scoring when he launched a solo homer in the 2nd inning. He finished 3-4 and drove in Corpus Christi's other run with an RBI single in the 7th. With his home run, Arauz has set a new career-high with nine home runs on the year. Bryan de la Cruz and Jacob Meyers had two hits apiece.
