Let's play two in Hudson Valley and the Gulf Coast League (ugh)!
Round Rock 12, El Paso 11
W- Cy Sneed (7-6)
L- Carl Edwards Jr. (2-1)
RR home runs: Taylor Jones (19, solo in 6th), Jack Mayfield (21, 2-run in 8th)
Two games in which both teams reached double figures in runs. Just your garden-variety Triple-A series. The difference here was Round Rock's run in the 3rd inning.
Everyone in the Round Rock lineup scored a run. Jack Mayfield finished a double shy of the cycle.
In contrast to Wednesday, when José Urquidy was shelled, Kent Emanuel managed to hold out for a nice outing (relatively speaking). Emanuel allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits (two solo homers) and struck out three in 5.2 innings.
Ryan Hartman takes on Bryan Mitchell in game three. First pitch is at 7:05 Mountain.
Midland 5, Corpus Christi 4
W- Zack Erwin (6-2)
L- Tommy DeJuneas (3-6)
CC home runs: Stephen Wrenn (6, solo in 2nd)
The Hooks scored two in the 8th to take a 3-2 lead and got an insurance run in the 9th to extend their lead to two runs. Unfortunately, they ended up walking off with a loss after the RockHounds scored three in the bottom of the 9th.
Stephen Wrenn finished 2-4 and he smacked a solo homer in the 2nd inning. Bryan de la Cruz scored on an error following a Colton Shaver lineout and then Jake Adams ripped an RBI double in the 8th. De La Cruz, who went 3-5, added an RBI single in the 9th.
Brandon Bailey allowed two runs on five hits, walked three, and struck out three in 4.2 innings. Chad Donato tagged in for 3.1 scoreless, allowing three hits, walking two, and striking out five. Midland walked it off against Tommy DeJuneas in the 9th.
Game two of this series will start at 7:00.
Wilmington 3, Fayetteville 1
W- Kris Bubic (5-3)
L- J.P. France (4-8)
Fayetteville home runs: None.
The Woodpeckers were shackled by Kris Bubic, who struck out eleven in a complete-game effort.
J.P. France went five innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits (two-run homer), walked one, and struck out four. Leovanny Rodriguez allowed two hits and struck out four in three scoreless innings of relief and César Rosado allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out one in a scoreless 9th.
Michael Papierski hit a sac fly in the 9th for Fayetteville's only run.
Fayetteville will now begin a series in Winston-Salem. First pitch is at 7:00 Eastern.
Quad Cities 8, Clinton 4
W- Layne Henderson (3-3)
L- Remey Reed (2-1)
S- José Alberto Rivera (1)
QC home runs: Freúdis Nova (3, solo in 2nd), Grae Kessinger (2, 2-run in 3rd)
The Banditos used a six-run 3rd inning to propel themselves to a victory.
Jonathan Bermúdez wasn't at his sharpest as he allowed four runs on three hits, walked five, and struck out two in 3.2 innings. The bullpen, however, was up to the task as Layne Henderson and José Alberto Rivera combined to strike out 11 over the final 5.1 innings. Henderson got Bermúdez out of a bases-loaded predicament and went on to allow two hits, walk one, and strike out five in 2.1 innings. Rivera took over for the last three innings, walking one and striking out six.
Freúdis Nova put Quad Cities on the board by leading off the 2nd with a home run. Austin Dennis led off the 3rd with a double and Wilyer Abreu brought him in with a double of his own. Alex McKenna singled, stole second, and then Oscar Campos ripped a two-run double. Freúdis followed with an RBI single and then Grae Kessinger smacked a two-run shot. Michael Wielansky hit an RBI single in the 5th inning. Nova, Wielansky, Dennis, and McKenna all finished with two hits on the evening.
Matt Ruppenthal will be on the mound as Quad Cities looks for the sweep. He'll take on Jake Walters at 6:35.
Tri-City
Not a pleasant day for the ValleyCats as they were swept in their twinbill with Hudson Valley. The Renegades took game one by a final of 9-3 and won game two 2-1.
Joe Perez whacked a two-run homer in the first game, which now gives him six home runs on the year. Korey Lee drove in a run with a groundout in the 6th. Jairo Lopez allowed a run on two hits, walked two, and struck out five in 3.2 innings of relief.
C.J. Stubbs' sac fly in the 1st was the only Tri-City run in game two. Christian Mejías allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits, walked two, and struck out three in five innings of work.
Kyle Serrano will start game three of this series. First pitch is at 7:00 Eastern.
GCL Astros
The Palm Beach 'Stros wound up splitting their doubleheader with the Marlins, winning game one 4-2 and dropping the second game by a final score of 5-4.
Alfredo Angarita and Sean Mendoza scored on wild pitches in the 1st and the 2nd, respectively. Franklin Pinto hit an RBI single in the 6th and he came around to score on Mendoza's single. Brady Rodgers continued his rehab with 2.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out three.
In the second game, José Álvarez launched a three-run home run in the 1st; that was the first longball of his pro career. Álvarez reached on an error in the 3rd which allowed Yefri Carrillo to score. Ryan Gusto, the Astros' 11th-round pick from this year's MLB Draft, made his pro debut in this game and he allowed a hit and struck out three over two scoreless innings.
DSL Astros 4, DSL Royals1 2
W- Jeremy Molero (4-0)
L- Darwin Feliz (2-3)
DSL home runs: None.
The Dominican 'Stros scored three in the top of the 9th to take the lead and the game.
Sebastian Grullón hit an RBI single in the 6th. Andrés Monzón tied the game when he stole home as part of a double steal with Ayendy Ortiz, who scored the go-ahead run on Ricardo Balogh's RBI single. Balogh scored the final run of the day on Grullón's second RBI single of the game. Grullón, Carlos Hurtado, and Frank Perez finished with two hits on the afternoon.
Daniel Bello allowed two runs on two hits, walked three, and struck out four in four innings. Jeremy Molero shut it down by allowing just one hit, walking one, and striking out eight in five innings.
