Congratulations to Tristan Beck, making his MLB debut!
AAA: Round Rock 2, Sacramento 1
Sacramento Notes:
- It was Kyle Harrison day in Sacramento, and it was an appropriate pitcher’s duel as the River Cats lost by a smidge with a 2-1 score. The River Cats picked up their only run in the third, behind singles by Will Wilson and Casey Schmitt, capped off by a Gary Sanchez RBI single. That 1-0 lead held until the 7th, when two walks put Sacramento in a dangerous spot, and a double scored both runners to put Round Rock up.
- Kyle Harrison had a good game, even if his control remains an issue. Harrison went 3.0 shutout innings, with one hit and three walks, while striking out five. That lowers his season ERA to 5.00, and he now has 13 walks to 12 strikeouts in 9.0 innings.
- Reliever Ryan Walker kept the good pitching going with 2.0 shutout innings, not allowing any baserunners and striking out two. Walker has a 0.77 ERA after six games, with 12 strikeouts to five walks in 11.2 innings, on just four hits allowed.
- It was a good game and a rough game for Melvin Adón, who struck out four in 1.2 innings, but blew the save with one hit and one walk, allowing two inherited runners to score. The runs didn’t go on Adón’s record, so his ERA drops to 6.23 and he now has 13 strikeouts to 11 walks in 8.2 innings.
- Cole Waites pitched a scoreless 9th inning, allowing a hit and walk while striking out one. It pushed his ERA down to 12.00, and he now has 11 walks with five strikeouts in 6.0 innings.
- DH Austin Slater played all nine innings, going 1-for-3 with a walk and his first steal of rehab. Through six games, Slater has a .333/.444/.600 line.
- Also on the rehab note, Mitch Haniger took the day off.
- Catcher Gary Sanchez also went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strike out, knocking in the only Sacramento run. After ten games, the 30-year old is batting .158 (6-for-38) with one double, and eight walks to 13 strikeouts.
AA: Richmond 10, Erie 7
Richmond Notes:
- The Squirrels found themself in an unfamiliar position, behind Erie by a score of 6-2 after six innings. But in the 7th, Richmond exploded for eight runs, sending 13 batters to the plate. It was highlighted by an Ismael Munguia 2-run home run, RBI singles by Brett Auerbach, Simon Whiteman, and Hayden Cantrelle, and a bases loaded walk to Andy Thomas.
- It was the first Double-A home run (and home run of the season) for right fielder Ismael Munguia, going 2-for-4 with three RBI and a walk. Munguia has a batting line of .277/.358/.340 after 12 games, with four walks to nine strikeouts, and his home run is his only extra-base hit so far.
- Center fielder Luis Matos was 2-for-5 with his third double of the season, with two strikeouts. It’s the first multi-hit game for Matos in his last six games, since April 12th. After 11 games, Matos is batting .275/.396/.425 with eight walks to four strikeouts.
- Hayden Cantrelle also picked up a pair of hits, going 2-for-4 with a double, his second. The only extra-base hits Cantrelle has are his two doubles through nine games, and he has walked three times while striking out four.
- Coming in mid-game to play left, Simon Whiteman went 1-for-2 with a walk and his first steal of the season (finally!). In 11 games, Whiteman has a batting line of .310/.459/.552, with eight walks to nine strikeouts.
- Starter Nick Zwack had a bunch of twos: 2.0 innings, two runs, two earned runs, two walks, two strikeouts, allowing two home runs…but on four hits total. Zwack has a 3.48 ERA on the season so far, with 14 strikeouts to five walks in 10.1 innings.
- Reliever Raymond Burgos kept runs from crossing the plate, but he walked four while allowing a hit in 2.0 innings, with two strikeouts. Burgos hasn’t allowed any runs in 6.1 innings, having allowed just two hits, but now six walks to five strikeouts.
- Juan Sanchez gave up a run on one hit and one walk with one strikeouts in 2.1 innings. He’s got a 1.59 ERA, with five strikeouts to one walk in 5.2 innings.
- Reliever Evan Gates picked up the save, striking out three while walking one. In 5.0 innings, Gates has struck out nine while walking four.
High-A: Eugene Postponed (Rain)
Eugene Notes:
- The rain won again, as the third game of the series was rained out on Thursday. It is planned to be made up as a doubleheader on Saturday.
Low-A: San Jose 4, Inland Empire 0
San Jose Notes:
- The Giants won in a shut out, led by starter Hayden Birdsong striking out six in 3.2 innings, and Jack Choate’s 4.0 shutout innings in relief. Offensively, San Jose was in the lead from the start, with one run in the first inning, and three more in the 5th headed by a Diego Velasquez 2-run home run.
- Second baseman Diego Velasquez’s home run was his first of the season, while going 1-for-4 with two RBI. He’s 5-for-31 (.161) on the season, with a double and a home run, plus seven walks to 13 strikeouts. The home run matches his total from last season, in 62 games between the ACL and San Jose.
- Carter Howell, playing center, was 2-for-5 with his third double of the season and a strikeout. Through ten games, Howell has three doubles and two triples while going 12-for-47 (.255), but has just one walk to 15 strikeouts.
- Right fielder Tanner O’Tremba went 2-for-4 with a double of his own, also his third of the season. Through nine games, O’Tremba has a batting line of .355/.487/.452 with the three doubles, and three walks to 11 strikeouts.
- Starter Hayden Birdsong’s start was his first game without allowing a run, giving up three hits and two walks in 3.2 innings, with six strikeouts. He has a 3.12 ERA with 16 strikeouts to six walks in 8.2 innings.
- Daniel Blair went a scoreless 1.1 innings in relief, with a walk and a strikeout. His ERA remains 0.00, but he now has four walks to three strikeouts in 5.0 innings.
- Jack Choate had his longest outing of the season (out of three), not allowing any runs in 4.0 innings, striking out five while allowing two hits and one walk. Choate has 16 strikeouts to three walks in 9.1 innings so far, and has lowered his ERA to 1.93.
