Corpus Christi sweep!


Round Rock 5, Oklahoma City 3

W- Kent Emanuel (7-1)
L- Rob Zastryzny (3-5)
S- Brendan McCurry (6)

RR home runs: Nick Tanielu (14, 2-run in 4th)

After Round Rock scored three in the 4th, OKC responded with three in the top of the 5th to tie the game. The Express regained control with a pair in the bottom of the 5th and kept the Dodgers at bay the rest of the way.

Kent Emanuel went 5.2 innings and allowed three runs on four hits, walked two, and struck out four. The bullpen finished things off with 3.1 scoreless; Ralph Garza Jr. was the first man and he allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out three in 1.1 innings. Brad Peacock worked around a couple of walks to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out one, and Brendan McCurry finished things off by striking out the side in order in the 9th.

Round Rock's three in the 4th came on an RBI single from Kyle Tucker and a two-run blast from Nick Tanielu. Myles Straw put the E-Train back in front in the 5th with an RBI triple and he scored the final run of the evening on Drew Ferguson's sac fly. Tanielu and Straw both finished with two hits on the night.

Ryan Hartman goes up against Logan Bawcom in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05.

Corpus Christi 2, Frisco 1

W- Tyler Ivey (4-0)
L- Collin Wiles (0-3)
S- Enoli Paredes (1)

CC home runs: None.

The Hooks swept the Roughriders out of the Coastal Bend region behind a pair of solid mound performances.

Tyler Ivey pitched 5.1 innings and allowed three hits, one of which was a solo homer, walked two, and struck out five. Enoli Paredes shut it down over the final 3.2 innings as he allowed just one hit, walked one, and struck out six.

Corpus Christi's two runs came in the 3rd inning as they were able to take advantage of a bases-loaded situation with one out. Colton Shaver lined into a force out that resulted in Jacob Meyers scoring the first run of the night and Jake Adams hit an RBI single.

The Hooks will now begin their final series against a South Division team in 2019 as they start a three-game set with Midland tonight at 7:15. Forrest Whitley will face James Naile in game one.

Down East 11, Fayetteville 1

W- Cole Uvila (5-3)
L- Shawn Dubin (4-5)
S- Jefferson Medina (5)

Fayetteville home runs: Miguelangel Sierra (12, solo in 9th)

The Woodpeckers were foiled in their bid to sweep the series as they got hammered.

Miguelangel Sierra spoiled the shutout with his homer in the 9th, so... there's that.

When the pitching staff surrenders eleven runs in nine innings and no one had a clean outing, it was definitely a rough night at the office.

Fayetteville will start a three-game series in Frederick at 7:00 Eastern.

Quad Cities 3, Beloit 2

W- Matt Ruppenthal (4-6)
L- Chase Cohen (5-10)

QC home runs: None.

The Banditos came alive after stretch time as they scored three in the bottom of the 7th to take the lead.

Quad Cities loaded the bases to lead off the 7th and they capitalized by taking the lead. Wilyer Abreu put them on the board with an RBI single. Grae Kessinger walked in Alex Holderbach to tie the game and Oscar Campos put the Banditos in front with a sac fly. Campos finished 3-3 on the night while Abreu went 2-4 with a stolen base.

José Alberto Rivera threw four innings and allowed two runs on an RBI triple and a sac fly, walked three, and struck out five. Matt Ruppenthal tagged in to throw five scoreless, allowing a hit, walking two, and striking out seven.

R.J. Freure will get the start in the finale and he'll go up against Angello Infante at 6:35.

Tri-City 4, Aberdeen 3

W- Edgardo Sandoval (1-3)
L- Ryan Conroy (4-4)
S- Shea Barry (2)

TC home runs: Nate Perry (9, solo in 1st)

The ValleyCats held off a late charge from the Ironbirds to get even in this series.

Nate Perry whacked a solo homer in the 1st to open the scoring. Luis Santana hit an RBI single in the 2nd and in the 3rd, Joe Perez ripped an RBI double and came around to score on a single from Juan Paulino. Santana finished 3-3 on the night while Perry and Perez finished 2-4; the two of them also scored twice, which meant that they scored all of Tri-City's runs.

Angel Macuare walked one and struck out three over two scoreless innings. Edgardo Sandoval tagged in for 5.1 innings and allowed three runs on eight hits, walked one, and struck out four. Shea Barry got the last 1.2 innings and he walked one and struck out three to get the save.

Jairo Lopez will take on Kevin Magee in the series finale. First pitch is at 7:00 Eastern.

GCL Mets 4, GCL Astros 2

W- Adrian Aybar (1-2)
L- Franny Cobos (3-1)
S- Jace Beck (1)

GCL home runs: Nerio Rodriguez (2, 2-run in 8th)

Nerio Rodriguez went 3-4 and smacked a two-run homer in the 8th; it's the second straight game in which he's homered. Rainier Rivas went 2-4; he's played in five games and he's recorded two hits in four of them.

Franny Cobos threw five innings and allowed an unearned run on two hits and struck out three.

DSL Astros 7, DSL Braves 6 (11 innings)

W- Miguel Padilla (4-1)
L- Royber Salinas (2-3)

DSL home runs: None.

Things escalated in the 11th as the Dominican 'Stros broke a 3-3 tie with four in the top half and then had to fend off the Braves, who responded by scoring three in the bottom half.

Miguel Palma smacked a two-run triple in the 6th. Yohander Martinez went 2-4 with an RBI single and scored three runs.

Bryan Martinez was the first man out of the bullpen and he went 4.2 innings and allowed a run on four hits and struck out two.

Corpus sweep!


Round Rock 10, Iowa 8

W- Colin McKee (3-3)
L- Colin Rea (11-3)
S- Dean Deetz (1)

RR home runs: Derek Fisher (13, 2-run in 1st), Taylor Jones (18, 2-run in 5th)

The E-Train came out on top of this slugfest as eight of their twelve hits went for extra bases.

Derek Fisher opened the scoring with a two-run blast in the 1st inning. Nick Tanielu scored when Jamie Ritchie grounded into a double play in the 2nd. Round Rock got four in the 5th as Jack Mayfield ripped a two-run double and then he came around to score when Taylor Jones launched a home run. Alex De Goti lashed an RBI double in the 6th and Mayfield brought him in with his second double of the night. Tanielu capped off the evening with an RBI double in the 7th.

All three of Tanielu's hits were doubles. Mayfield also had three hits on the night; two of his were doubles. Jones and De Goti had two hits apiece.

Ryan Hartman went four innings and allowed five runs on eight hits (three solo homers), walked two, and struck out four. Colin McKee was the first man out of the Round Rock bullpen and he allowed three runs on three hits, walked three, and struck out two in 1.2 innings. Ralph Garza Jr. was next; he allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out in 1.1 innings. Dean Deetz allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out three over two scoreless to get the save.

Brandon Bielak gets the start in game two. First pitch is at 7:08.

Corpus Christi 18, Northwest Arkansas 6

W- Tommy DeJuneas (2-5)
L- Holden Capps (0-2)

CC home runs: Ronnie Dawson (17, 2-run in 3rd)

The Hooks led 7-6 entering the 8th. And then they turned it up to 11. Sorry, I'll delete it later. With that 11-run 8th, Corpus turned this game into a laugher and earned the sweep in this series.

Everyone in the lineup scored at least one run. Stephen Wrenn went 0-4 but he still managed to score a couple of runs and stole a base (19).


Brett Adcock went five innings and allowed three runs on six hits, walked three, and struck out six. Tommy DeJuneas got two innings and he allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits, walked one, and struck out three. Erasmo Pinales and Andre Scrubb both pitched a scoreless inning; Pinales allowed a hit, walked one, and struck out two in the 8th, and Scrubb, in his first appearance as a member of the Astros organization, walked one and struck out two in the 9th.

The Hooks will begin a series in Springfield tonight at 6:10. Yohan Ramirez will take on Johan Oviedo in game one.

Fayetteville 3, Carolina 0

W- J.P. France (4-6)
L- Christian Taugner (4-7)
S- Riley Cabral (7)

Fayetteville home runs: None.

The Woodpeckers got virtuoso performances from their pitchers as they opened this series with a victory.

J.P. France allowed two hits, walked one, and struck out nine over seven shutout innings and Riley Cabral struck out all six batters he faced to earn the save.

All three Fayetteville runs came in the 5th as Miguelangel Sierra hit a sac fly and Enmanuel Valdez and Jonathan Arauz ripped RBI doubles. Scott Manea finished 2-3.

Shawn Dubin goes up against Matt Smith in game two of this series. First pitch is at 6:00 Eastern.

Peoria 7, Quad Cities 6

W- Connor Thomas (2-0)
L- José Bravo (1-4)
S- Freddy Pacheco (2)

QC home runs: Carlos Machado (1, 3-run in 9th)

Quad Cities' comeback bid fell just short.

César Salazar put the Banditos on the board with an RBI double in the 4th inning and Grae Kessinger hit an RBI single in the 7th. Salazar walked to lead off the bottom of the 9th and he scored on a single from Trey Dawson. One batter later, Carlos Machado clubbed a three-run home run to cut the deficit to one run. Unfortunately, that was as close as they could get. Everyone in the lineup recorded a hit; Salazar and Machado had two apiece.

José Bravo went four innings and allowed five runs on eight hits, walked one, and struck out six. Hunter Martin was the first man out of the Quad Cities bullpen and he allowed two runs on three hits, walked one, and struck out two in 2.1 innings; both runs were inherited runners that scored. Devin Conn didn't allow any runs of his own in 2.2 innings, but the runners he inherited from Martin both scored. Conn allowed three hits and struck out four.

Lupe Chavez will take the mound as the Banditos open up a series in Beloit. He'll take on Rafael Kelly at 6:30.

Tri-City 3, Connecticut 2

W- Valente Bellozo (4-0)
L- Zac Shepherd (0-3)
S- Juan Pablo Lopez (1)

TC home runs: None.

The Tigers got two in the top of the 6th to tie the game at 2, but the ValleyCats were able to regain control as they got one of those runs back in the bottom half.

Nathan Perry hit a two-run single in the 1st and Juan Paulino scored on a passed ball in the 6th. Paulino finished 3-4 on the night; he scored two of Tri-City's three runs in this one and also stole a base (8). Perry, Preston Pavlica, and Luis Guerrero all had two hits in this game.

Ronel Blanco threw two perfect innings to start, striking out one. Valente Bellozo took over for four innings and he allowed two runs on four hits, walked one, and struck out six. Juan Pablo Lopez allowed one hit, walked one, and struck out four over the last three innings to earn the save.

Tri-City and Connecticut will continue this series at 7:00 Eastern.

GCL Mets 1, GCL Astros 0

W- Joander Suarez (1-0)
L- Kevin Holcomb (0-2)
S- Robert Colina (1)

WATCH THIS SPACE

I plan to use "this space" to feature players who are currently flying below the radar, but who deserve a look.

SS Yohander Martinez, a 17-year old from Venezuela who signed with the Astros as an international free agent on July 2, 2018, is just getting started in his professional career and he is making quite a statement early on. Through his first 22 games with the DSL Astros, Martinez is hitting .366/.516/.465/.981 with three doubles, two triples, nine RBI, 12 stolen bases (five caught stealing) and 18 walks to nine strikeouts. Yes, it is a fairly small sample size, but I will definitely be keeping an eye on Mr. Martinez as he moves up the ladder! Watch this space ...

FORMER ASTRO UPDATE

Ryan Thompson - August 2017
Photo by Jayne Hansen

RHP Ryan Thompson was drafted by the Astros in the 23rd round in 2014 out of Campbell University (former home of the High A Buies Creek Astros) and was claimed by the Rays in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft in December 2018. Thompson had been rehabbing from Tommy John surgery and hadn't pitched in a game since September 2017 when the Rays selected him. Thompson's comeback from surgery has started out well; in his first eight appearances (primarily out of the bullpen), he has a 2.03 ERA and a 1.050 WHIP between the Rays High A and AA teams. He has issued only one walk while striking out 16 in 13.1 innings of work.

Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Monday, June 24, 2019

Round Rock 6, Iowa 4

W- Brandon Bielak (1-3, 4-3 season)
L- Trevor Clifton (2-7)
S- Felipe Paulino (1)

RR home runs: Josh Rojas (5, 13 season; grand slam in 6th)

A one-man show on offense was good enough for the E-Train as they took this five-game series from the Cubs.

Both teams put up five zeroes apiece until Josh Rojas clubbed a grand slam in the 6th inning to break the 0-0 tie. He added an RBI single in the 8th and Drew Ferguson drove in Round Rock's final run with an RBI single in the 9th. Rojas, Ferguson, and Taylor Jones finished with two hits on the afternoon; Rojas has now homered in four consecutive games.

Brandon Bielak was outstanding as he allowed just one hit, walked one, and struck out nine over seven shutout innings. The bullpen was a bit shaky but they were able to close it out. Kent Emanuel got two outs in the 8th, both via strikeout, but he also allowed three runs on three hits and walked two. Felipe Paulino got Round Rock out of the 8th with the lead and ended up pitching the 9th to get the save. He allowed two hits, one of which was a solo homer, and struck out one.

The E-Train is heading back down to Texas as they'll start a four-game set in San Antonio at 7:05.

Texas League All-Star Break

The 2019 Texas League All-Star Game will take place tonight in Tulsa. Bryan Abreu, Carlos Sanabria, Colin McKee, and Abraham Toro will represent Corpus Christi.

The Hooks return to action Thursday in Amarillo.

Fayetteville 3, Salem 2 (7 innings)

W- J.P. France (2-5)
L- Enmanuel De Jesus (4-6)
S- Tanner Duncan (1)

Fayetteville home runs: None.

This game was called due to rain. One scoring play turned out to be enough for the Woodpeckers, who have won five straight to open the second half.

Corey Julks finished 2-3 and his bases-clearing triple in the 3rd constituted all of the runs for Fayetteville in this one.

J.P. France went five innings and he allowed two runs (one inherited runner charged to him) on four hits, walked three, and struck out three. Tanner Duncan got the last two innings and allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out two.

Jojanse Torres will take on Dylan Thompson in game two of this series. First pitch is at 7:05 Eastern.

Quad Cities was off

The Banditos will start a four-game series with Burlington, with the first two games taking place in Burlington. Matt Ruppenthal will take on Kyle Tyler at 6:30.

Tri-City was off

Christian Mejías will take on Kelvin Sanchez in the first of a three-game series in Lowell. First pitch is at 7:05 Eastern.

GCL Marlins 8, GCL Astros 6

W- Leudy Martinez (1-0)
L- Daniel Bello (0-1)
S- Jesús Sanchez (1)

GCL home runs: Yorbin Ceuta (1, 2-run in 2nd)

The Palm Beach Stros dropped their first game of 2019 a five-run 7th inning from the Marlins sent them to their doom.

Yorbin Ceuta drove in the GCL squad's first two runs of the year by launching a home run in the 2nd inning. Sean Mendoza walked to lead off the 3rd, advanced to third on a Ronaldo Urdaneta single, and stole home. Yefri Carrillo scored when José Álvarez grounded into a double play in the 6th. Álvarez ripped an RBI triple in the 8th and he wound up scoring on a wild pitch. He and Urdaneta both finished 2-4 on the afternoon.

Cole McDonald pitched two perfect innings in his pro debut, striking out two. Heitor Tokar was the first man out of the Palm Beach 'Stros pen and he allowed three runs on four hits, walked two, and struck out two. Daniel Bello pitched three innings and allowed five runs (two inherited runners charged to him) on four hits, walked three, and struck out two. Danny Cody got the last 2.1 innings, allowing a hit and striking out two. The one hit was a two-run single that resulted in both of Bello's runners scoring.

The Palm Beach 'Stros will take on their complex mates, the Nationals, at noon Eastern.

DSL Astros 10, DSL Athletics 2

W- Carlos Calderón (1-0)
L- Stiven Montilla (0-2)

DSL home runs: None.

The Dominican 'Stros allowed two runs... while pitching a no-hitter.

Reimy Beltre went three innings and those two runs, which were unearned, scored on a sac fly and an error. He walked four and struck out four. Carlos Calderón walked one and struck out four in four innings, and Jaime Melendez finished off the no-hitter by striking out four over two perfect innings.

Yohander Martinez stole second as part of a double steal in the 1st and he ended up scoring the first run of the day on an errant throw. Carlos Hurtado hit an RBI single in the 3rd and then Sebastian Grullón grounded into a force out that allowed Martinez to score. Hurtado scored on a wild pitch in the 5th. Freddy Guilamo followed with a two-run single and he came around to score on Martinez's base hit. Another wild pitch in the 7th allowed Andrés Monzón to score and the DSL squad got two more on a couple of groundouts from Martinez and Omar Díaz.

Martinez finished 3-4 on the afternoon while Guilamo and Hurtado had two hits apiece.

The Astros will host the Braves at 11:30 AM Atlantic.

Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Saturday, June 22, 2019

Astros vs. A's in the lower levels. Quite a bit of late-inning drama on Saturday...

Iowa 6, Round Rock 1 (6 innings)

W- Craig Brooks (1-0)
L- Ryan Hartman (5-2)

RR home runs: Josh Rojas (3, 11 season; solo in 1st)

This game was called with two outs in the 6th due to rain. The Cubs' first-inning outburst netted them the victory on Saturday.

Josh Rojas' solo shot in the 1st was the E-Train's only scoring play. Taylor Jones' single represented Round Rock's only other hit in this game.

Ryan Hartman pitched five innings and allowed six runs on seven hits (two and three-run homers), walked four, and struck out four.

Corbin Martin gets the start in game four of this series. He'll face Colin Rea at 1:05.

Corpus Christi 6, Springfield 4 (11 innings)

W- Brandon Bailey (2-2)
L- Kodi Whitley (1-4)

CC home runs: Osvaldo Duarte (9, walk-off 2-run in 11th)

The Hooks trailed 4-1 after the 5th but kept the Cardinals off the board the rest of the way and they eventually walked off with the W.

Carson LaRue went 4.2 innings and allowed four runs on five hits (solo homer), walked one, and struck out seven. Willy Collado got the final out of the 5th with a strikeout. Collin McHugh struck out one in a 1-2-3 6th, and Brandon Bailey allowed a hit and struck out five in five scoreless innings of relief.

Seth Beer opened the scoring with a sac fly in the 1st inning. George Springer, who scored on the sac fly, drew a bases-loaded walk in the 6th. Corpus tied the game with two in the 8th on a Chuckie Robinson sac fly and a Bryan de la Cruz RBI single. Colton Shaver started the 11th in scoring position. Ronnie Dawson flew out for the first out, but Osvaldo Duarte came through with a two-run home run to send everyone home happy. Duarte and Ramiro Rodríguez both finished with two hits on the evening. George Springer singled and drew three walks in his second rehab game.

Yohan Ramirez will be on the mound as the Hooks look for the sweep. He'll take on Johan Oviedo at 4:15.

Fayetteville 5, Myrtle Beach 3

W- Brett Conine (3-1, 6-3 season)
L- Manuel Rondon (0-1)

Fayetteville home runs: J.J. Matijevic (1, 3 season; solo in 1st)

The Woodpeckers got three in the 9th inning to snatch this game from the Pelicans.

Shawn Dubin went four innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits (two-run homer), walked one, and struck out seven. César Rosado struck out one in a 1-2-3 5th, and Brett Conine struck out one over four scoreless innings; he faced one batter over the minimum because he hit a batter.

Fayetteville got two in the opening inning on a sac fly from Chandler Taylor and a solo homer from J.J. Matijevic. They didn't score again until the 9th, but that rally ended up getting them the victory.

Matijevic and Jake Adams led off the inning with singles. Scott Schreiber popped out on the infield fly rule, but Marty Costes singled to load the bases for Michael Papierski, who tied the game with a single. Two batters later, Miguelangel Sierra hit a two-run single to put the Woodpeckers in front. Matijevic, who recently returned from a 50-game suspension for a drug of abuse while he was with Corpus, finished 2-4 and scored twice.

Nivaldo Rodríguez will get the start as Fayetteville looks for the sweep. He'll face Alexander Vargas at 6:05 Eastern.

Quad Cities 7, Beloit 4

W- Joey Gonzalez (2-1, 2-2 season)
L- Aiden McIntyre (2-5)
S- Riley Cabral (4)

QC home runs: None.

The Banditos and the Snappers both scored in the same innings. The difference here, however, was Quad Cities scoring four in the top of the 1st.

Quad Cities got things started in the 1st with a pair of singles from Jeremy Peña and Oscar Campos and then César Salazar ripped a two-run double. Peña hit another RBI single in the 4th and Salazar added an RBI base hit to his ledger in the 5th. Freúdis Nova drove the last River Bandits run with a base hit in the 9th.

Ross Adolph went 3-5 and this time, he finished a home run shy of the cycle. He also stole a base (8) and scored both of Peña's base hits. Peña (2 RBI, R, SB), Campos (RBI, 2 R), and Salazar (2B, 3 RBI, SB) all finished with two hits on the evening.

Brett Daniels threw four innings and allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits, walked four, and struck out six. Joey Gonzalez was the first man out of the Quad Cities bullpen and he allowed a run on five hits, walked one, and struck out one in three innings. Riley Cabral earned the two-inning save, allowing a run on two hits, walking one, and striking out two.

Matt Ruppenthal goes up against Chase Cohen in the series finale. First pitch is at 2:00.

Tri-City 6, Vermont 5 (11 innings)

W- Jervic Chavez (1-0)
L- Nick Ward (0-1)

TC home runs: None.

The ValleyCats took another one-run game from the Lake Monsters, this time in walk-off fashion. This was not a textbook defensive game as both teams combined to commit nine errors in this one, although you could take that with a grain of salt as minor league scorekeepers, especially at the lower levels, occasionally have the tendency to be, um... liberal in scoring plays as errors.

Hunter Brown and Derek West made their pro debuts on the mound in this one. Brown, who was drafted in the 5th round earlier this month out of Division II Wayne State, allowed a run on three hits, walked one, and struck out one in 1.2 innings. West, a 14th-round pick out of Pittsburgh, pitched 1.1 innings and allowed two hits, one of which was a three-run home run. All three runs were unearned. Lupe Chavez followed with 3.2 innings and he allowed a run (inherited runner that was charged to him) on two hits, walked one, and struck out four. Jervic Chavez allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out three in 4.1 innings to get the win.

Preston Pavlica put Tri-City on the board with an RBI infield single in the 3rd inning. Juan Piñeda hit an RBI single in the 4th; C.J. Stubbs tried to score as well but he was thrown out at the plate. Pavlica hit a sac fly in the 5th and in the 6th, Piñeda reached on an error that allowed Zach Biermann to score and he himself ended up scoring on a bloop single from E.P. Reese.

Matt Barefoot started the 11th in scoring position and Biermann got a free pass to first to lead things off. Stubbs won it by ripping a double. Reese finished 2-4 with a stolen base, his second as a pro.

Peyton Battenfield takes on Yorlenis Noa as the ValleyCats look for a sweep. First pitch is at 5:00 Eastern.

DSL Athletics 8, DSL Astros 5

W- Marshall Cantillo (2-0)
L- Ronny Garcia (2-2)
S- Marcelo Hernandez (2)

DSL home runs: None.

The Dominican 'Stros were stung by a late uprising from the A's, who scored two in the 8th and three in the 9th to take control.

Ricardo Toro and Sebastian Grullón hit RBI singles in the 1st inning. Andrés Monzón ripped an RBI double in the 4th and he came around to score on a single from Yohander Martinez. Carlos Hurtado ripped an RBI double in the 9th. He, Martinez, and Omar Díaz (2 R) all had two hits on the day.

Misael Tamarez got the start and he allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and struck out three in three innings. Edinson Batista went two innings and allowed a run on a wild pitch, a hit, walked three, and struck out three. Ronny Garcia was next; he pitched three innings and allowed two unearned runs on two hits and fanned two. José Betances got the 9th but only got one out via strikeout; he allowed three runs on three hits and walked three. Miguel Padilla got the last two outs of the 9th, one via strikeout.
