THURSDAY'S RECAPS
DSL Astros over DSL Indians 6-4
Edwin Villarroel already has his second win of the young season in what appeared to be a strong start despite questionable defense behind him. He allowed four runs (no earned runs) on seven hits and three walks in his 7.2 innings. Elieser Hernandez got his first save despite coming in for Villarroel and immediately allowing a run to score on a wild pitch. 3B Randy Cesar was two-for-four with a double and three RBIs and LF Brauly Mejia was two-for-four with a triple.
Asheville over Lexington 5-4
Luis Ordosgoitti got hit just a little too hard and a little too often, giving up four runs on nine hits over six innings. He didn't get the loss as Lexington came back to tie the game in the sixth. Blake Ford and Murilo Gouvea shared relief duties and it was Gouvea (L, 1-3) who got the loss as he gave up the winning run in the ninth. The highlight of the night for the Legends had to be the 420 foot solo home run by Matt Duffy, his 11th of the season. Duffy has reportedly been added to the upcoming All-Star home run derby contest and will compete with teammate Zach Johnson. Justin Gomiskey was two-for-four and Jesse Wierzbicki was two-for-four with a double and an RBI. Delino DeShields stole his 43rd base of the season and Zach Johnson drove in his sixty-first run. Now if they had just won, it would have been just about perfect.
Frisco over Corpus Christi 4-3
Jarred Cosart (L, 3-4) didn't have a terrible outing, but he also wasn't good enough to beat the first place team on Thursday. Cosart gave up four runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts and a wild pitch. Arcenio Leon followed with two effective innings but Corpus wasn't able to get back on the board after the fifth inning. Carlos Lee provided two runs via the long ball in his first appearance with Corpus on a rehab assignment. The final run was scored by Adam Bailey on a Jay Fernandez double. And thus a very well played and very hard fought seven game winning streak comes to an end.
Oklahoma City over Round Rock 10-6
Sergio Perez got a spot start in place of scheduled starter Dallas Keuchel. (I don't know why Keuchel was pulled, but you may start with your Keuchel to Houston conjecture now.) Perez wasn't particularly sharp as he walked five in 3.2 innings, but he only gave up one run. Adalberto Flores got his fourth win in relief although Jonnathan Aristil did his darnedest to cough it up, allowing five runs in 1.1 innings. Enerio del Rosario sealed the deal with his first save. Brandon Barnes contributed a three-run home run and an RBI single as he continues to hit since his promotion to AAA; he is currently hitting .371 over 17 games for the Redhawks. Jimmy Paredes (three-for-five with a double) and Scott Moore (four-for-four with two RBIs) also had great nights. Mike Hessman contributed with a two-run single.
GAME OF THE DAY
Lancaster over Inland Empire 12-8
What went right: A great bullpen and hot bats.
Ruben Alaniz didn't get to celebrate a personal win on his 21st birthday as he suffered through his worst outing of the season, but his teammates picked him up to get a true team win. Brian Streilein (W, 2-3), Pat Urckfitz and Andrew Robinson (S, 3) combined to allow only three hits and one walk over the final five innings to keep Lancaster from falling behind in this high-scoring affair. The long ball played a big role in the game as the teams combined for eight home runs, including two from George Springer and an inside-the-parker from Kike Hernandez. Telvin Nash walked three times and only struck out once; he's only walked 30 times in 61 games. Alex Todd and Springer both had three hits for the night.
Ruben Alaniz - 4IP 11H 8R 2BB 5SO 3HR
Brian Streilein - 2.2IP 1H 0R 0BB 2SO

Jonathan Meyer - 2x4 HR 2RBI SO R
Ben Heath - 2x5 R
Kike Hernandez - 2x5 2B HR 2RBI 2R
Rene Garcia - 2x4 RBI SO R
What went wrong: Erik Castro had a rare hitless night, but even he had a sac fly RBI.
PITCHER OF THE DAY
None of the starting performances were anything to write home about so my pitcher of the day is Brian Streilein. Allowing only one hit in 2.2 innings of relief to keep a lid on the Inland Empire staff (who had already hit three home runs in the game) helped seal the deal.
PLAYERS OF THE DAY
George Springer, he of the two home runs, is going to have to share the honors with Brandon Barnes, he of the four RBIs. Honorable mention goes to Matt Duffy for his 420' blast. Nice job, gentlemen!

SATURDAY'S RESULTS
Hickory over Lexington 11-2
Jonas Dufek (4IP) and Euris Quezada (3IP) both got roughed up in this one, allowing ten earned runs between them. Even the normally reliable Dayan Diaz gave up a run in the final inning. Matt Duffy hit a solo home run. Delino DeShields, Justin Gominsky and Chan Moon each had two hits. DeShields had his third caught stealing in as many games. Ultimately, this one is best forgotten so let's do that and move on.
Albuquerque over Oklahoma City 7-4
Wes Musick (L, 0-1) hit a wall during his second AAA start, giving up six runs (five earned) on 11 hits over 5.2 innings. Adalberto Flores allowed the final run in his 1.1 innings and Jose Valdez pitched a perfect final frame. It was a quiet night for the Redhawks hitters with Fernando Martinez and J.B. Shuck getting the only extra base hits, each hitting a double. Shuck was three-for-three with a walk for the night.
Lancaster over Inland Empire 5-4 in 10 innings
David Martinez gave up four runs on eight hits over six innings pitched, but only two of the runs were earned thanks to an Alex Todd fielding error. Brian Streilein pitched three innings in relief allowing only one single and keeping the game tied. Pat Urckfitz and Jose Trinidad shared duties in the tenth with Trinidad getting the win as Rene Garcia hit a two-out single that scored Telvin Nash in the 10th for the win. There were several good nights at the plate with Telvin Nash hitting his 13th home run, George Springer hitting a two run triple, Jonathan Meyer and Ben Orloff having two-hit nights and Rene Garcia having three hits, including the game winning RBI.
GAME OF THE DAY
Corpus Christi over Springfield 6-5
What went right: According to Greg Rajan of the Corpus Christi Caller Times, this was the Hooks first win this season when trailing after six or seven innings, but there's a first time for everything.
Jose Cisnero seemed to have turned things around a bit in this start after struggling in his last few as he gave up two runs on five hits in five innings. Unfortunately, Alex Sogard had a tough night giving up three runs (two earned) in one inning and getting charged with a blown save. Fortunately, Josh Zeid pitched two terrific innings in which he gave up only one hit and Kevin Chapman got the win after pitching a perfect ninth. Brandon Barnes hit a solo home run in his finale with the Hooks before earning his promotion to Oklahoma City. Also hitting home runs were Jon Singleton (the two run variety) and Jonathan Villar (the walk off variety). Jake Goebbert was three-for-four on the night and Chris Wallace was three-for-three in his first game since being activated.
Jose Cisnero - 5IP 5H 2R 0BB 5SO HR
Alex Sogard - 1IP 3H 3R/2ER 0BB 2SO
Josh Zeid - 2IP 1H 0R 0BB 1SO
Kevin Chapman (W, 3-2) - 1IP 0H 0R 0BB
Jonathan Villar - 2x5 HR RBI SO 2R SB
Jon Singleton - 2x4 HR 2RBI R
Brandon Barnes - 1x4 HR RBI R
Jake Goebbert - 3x4 2R
Chris Wallace - 3x3 2B
What went wrong: Austin Wates was 0-5 (but with no strikeouts).
PITCHER OF THE DAY
Brian Streilein is my guy for holding Inland Empire to one hit over three innings of relief and giving Lancaster the opportunity to win the game.
PLAYER OF THE DAY
Rene Garcia gets the nod for a two-out extra-inning game-winning RBI single, his third hit of the night.

Rancho Cucamonga at Lancaster at 9:00 CST
Probable Pitchers: TBD
MONDAY'S RESULTS
Albuquerque over Oklahoma City 3-2
Dallas Keuchel (L, 3-1) just didn't look as sharp as usual in this one and ended up with his first loss, but he did still put up a quality start (even though his ERA skyrocketed all the way up to 1.67). Jimmy Paredes was 3x4 with a double and Brett Wallace hit a solo home run, but the OKC hitters just weren't able to string together much of anything.
Corpus Christi over Midland 9-3
Erick Abreu pitched well in his first start of the season, a spot start. Henry Villar pitched four somewhat rocky innings in relief and Kevin Chapman pitched a solid final inning. Austin Wates, Jake Goebbert, Jonathan Singleton, Jordan Kreke and Andrew Simunic all had two hit nights, and both of Singleton's hits were doubles. Brandon Barnes only had one hit, but it happened to be a three-run home run. The home run plus a sac fly netted him four RBI's on the night. This line-up is really starting to put up some gaudy offensive numbers.
GAME OF THE DAY
Lancaster over Rancho Cucamonga 8-4
What went right: Just enough pitching plus two doubles, three triples and a home run ended Lancaster's four game skid. Grimmett struggled early and late, but in between he pitched very well, and Brian Streilein worked around some trouble as he worked 2.2 innings of scoreless relief. A Telvin Nash home run, an RBI single by Rene Garcia (one of four hits for him), and a three-RBI bases clearing triple by Jio Mier in the second gave Lancaster a lead that they never gave back. And Adam Bailey rewarded my confidence in him (see Monday's T.J. Steele post) by going 3x4 with an outfield assist.
Zachary Grimmett (W, 1-1) - 5.1IP 7H 4R 2BB 7SO
Brian Streilein - 2.2IP 1H 1BB 3SO
Kirk Clark - 1IP 1H (still has a 0.00 ERA)
Jio Mier - 1x5 3B 3RBI SO
Telvin Nash - 1x2 HR RBI 3BB SO R
Erik Castro - 1x4 3B BB 2R
Jonathan Meyer - 2x4 3B RBI SO R SB
Adam Bailey - 3x4 RBI R
Rene Garcia - 4x4 2B RBI 2R
What went wrong: George Springer went 0x5 with five strikeouts.
PITCHER OF THE DAY
Brian Streilein got Grimmett out of one jam and got himself out of another to keep Lancaster's lead intact. Lancaster needed this win and Streilein made sure that they got it.
PLAYER OF THE DAY
Rene Garcia has been in a funk at the plate. Let's hope that going 4x4 with a double and an RBI will help get that turned around.

Happy Birthday - 11/3
RHP Brian Streilein (23)
Drafted in the 37th round in 2010 out of Villanova, this New Jersey native pitched in 40 games (1 start) for Lexington this season. His record was 5-4 with a 3.99 ERA and a 1.286 WHIP. If you take away his one disastrous start (2.1IP 9H 8R/ER 2HR), his numbers improve to a 3.06 ERA and a 1.197 WHIP.
