As things wind down on our minor league season-ending weekend, we see Wade Meckler continue to do nice things in Triple-A, and potentially a season-ending injury for a recent pickup.

AAA: Sacramento 4, Salt Lake 3

Top Sacramento Performances:

  • Center fielder Wade Meckler went 1-for-3 with two walks, and a double, which was Sacramento’s only extra-base hit.  That gives Meckler four doubles in 23 games at Triple-A.  Overall, he has 17 doubles, four triples, and six home runs in 82 games in the minors.  He’s hitting .333/448/.487 at Sacramento.
  • Left fielder Trenton Brooks went 2-for-3 with two walks.  As a Cat, he has 20 walks to 17 strikeouts in 23 games, after he had 57 walks to 60 strikeouts in 94 games with the Aviators.  He’s hitting .244/.390/.488 with Sacramento and hit .299/.405/.529 with Las Vegas.
  • Right fielder Bryce Johnson was 1-for-3 with two walks and two strikeouts.  In 65 Triple-A games, Johnson has 33 walks to 68 strikeouts.  Last season, in 94 games, Johnson had the same walk total (33) but with 90 strikeouts, showing a nice improvement in plate discipline.  Johnson is hitting .277/.369/.443 on the season.
  • Parker Dunshee was the starting pitcher today, giving up one run in 2.1 innings, allowing three hits and a walk, with two strikeouts.  He has a 3.93 ERA in 10 games with Sacramento, and has 22 strikeouts to 10 walks in 18.1 innings.
  • DH Yoshi Tsutsugo was 0-for-0, but took a walk and got hit by a pitch on the hand in the 4th inning, after which he was lifted after the trainer took a look at it.  Tsutsugo has only played four games for Sacramento, going 2-for-9, with six walks to three strikeouts, and now two HBP, so he has a .222 batting average with a .563 on-base percentage.
