AAA: Oklahoma City 12, Sacramento 3
Sacramento Notes:
- Isan Díaz had one of the better offensive days for the Cats, going 1-for-2 with his 10th double and two walks. Through 61 games, Díaz now has 28 walks to 66 strikeouts, though the walks are the first he’s had since collecting one on July 13th. He’s struck out ten times since that game.
- Austin Dean also had a double while going 2-for-4. Dean now has nine doubles on the season, and over his last six games, has gone 9-for-21 with two doubles, three walks, and three strikeouts.
- Sean Hjelle had a bit of a tough start, giving up three runs in 4.0 innings, on six hits, four walks, and a HBP, with four strikeouts. In three starts since a rough MLB callup, Hjelle has allowed 12 runs in 12.2 innings, with 21 hits allow to ten walks, and just eight strikeouts.
- Two new relievers made their Giants debuts.Kyle Tyler allowed a run in 1.0 innings, on one hit, a home run, while striking out two. Tyler opted for free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A by the Padres on July 6th. Tyler had two scoreless outings in the bigs, allowing just two hits and a walk in 4.0 innings, with two K’s. In Triple-A El Paso, he had a 4.98 ERA in 15 starts, struggling with control. He had 19 walks to 27 strikeouts in 21.2 innings, with 12 runs allowed on just 11 hits.
- Reliever Tobias Myers gave up three runs in 1,0 innings, on three walks and one hit, but also with three strikeouts. Myers had been DFA’d by the Guardians on July 2nd, and the Giants traded cash considerations for him. In 14 games at Triple-A Columbus, all as starts, he had a 6.00 ERA with 33 walks to 40 strikeouts in 60.0 innings.
- That K:BB ratio does not match his career track: in 2021, he’d had a combined 146 strikeouts to 28 walks in 117.2 innings. This makes Myers an interesting rebound candidate.
AA: Richmond 7, Bowie 6
Richmond Notes:
- Ricardo Genovés picked up his fourth home run in Double-A while going 1-for-4. That now gives him more home runs in Richmond in 22 games than he had in Triple-A in 38 games (3). Genovés has a .260/.305/.481 batting line in Double-A.
- Brett Auerbach picked up his 10th home run on a 1-for-3 day with a walk. It’s been a rough year for Auerbach, with a batting line of .195/.299/.345 in his first season at Double-A, but his power still shows up, with nine doubles and ten home runs.
- Jacob Heyward picked up his fourth home run, going 1-for-3 with a walk. The hit ended a 7-game hitless streak for Heyward, and it was his first home run since July 4th.
- Kai-Wei Teng was wild in a rough game. In 2.0 innings, he allowed six runs on five hits, two walks, two HBP, and four wild pitches, with just two strikeouts. This was Teng’s shortest start of the season, with his second shortest start (3.0 innings) coming in his last start a week ago, in which he gave up five runs.
- Cole Waites had a great day in relief, striking out the side in his inning of work, without allowing a baserunner. In Double-A, Waites has a 2.57 ERA through 12 games, with 22 strikeouts to ten walks in 14.0 innings.
- Blake Rivera struck out two and walked one in his 1.0 inning of work. Through 26 games, Rivera has a 2.82 ERA with 45 strikeouts to 22 walks in 44.2 innings.
