Sacramento 2 (OAK + 14), Tacoma 1
I hope you listened to me about going to Tacoma because RHP Michael Pineda (3.71, L) closed out his five innings by striking out eleven in a row. He also gave up a run on a hit and a hit batter and that was enough to get him the loss because the offense was stupid. RHP Yusmeiro Petit (3.11) added another run on a hit, a walk, and two Ks in the next two innings and then LHP Edward Paredes (11.25) allowed two hits and a hit batter and struck out three in the last two.
LF Mike Carp (RBI, .259) had a single and a walk. Yep.
Birmingham 3 (CHW - 10), West Tenn 4
RHP Steve Bray (3.75) gave up three unearned runs on five hits, two walks, and four Ks through six and a third. RHP Aaron Jensen (4.24) scored two of those with a hit as he was wrapping up the seventh. Then LHP Nick Hill (6.43, W) got the win with a hit, a walk, and a K in the eighth and RHP Josh Lueke (0.00, S) allowed a hit and struck out the side in the ninth. That’s what he does.
1B Johan Limonta (2B, R, RBI, .283), LF Joe Dunigan (HR, 3 RBI, .205), and C Brandon Bantz (.200) all had two hits, with Bantz adding a walk. DH Carlos Peguero (2B, R, .269) added a double and a walk, which is pretty cool. Liddi unfortunately had his multi-hit and home run streak come to an end, but he singled at least.
High Desert 5, San Jose 3 (SF - 7)
Woot? LHP Maikel Cleto (5.43, PO, W) pitched eight innings, giving up three runs on nine hits (HR) and a wild pitch while striking out six. The opposing pitcher’s surname was Verdugo. I wish we had a Verdugo. RHP Wes Littleton (3.21, S) saved it with a hit, a walk, and two Ks in the ninth.
RF Johermyn Chavez (RBI, .299) had three hits in the game, but all were singles, so perhaps tis bst to look at 3B Eddy Martinez-Esteve (2B, 3 RBI, .370), who at least had a double as one of two hits. 2B Kyle Seager (R, CS, .339) and 1B Dennis Raben (2B, 2 R, RBI, .359) both had a hit and a walk.
Clinton 3, Great Lakes 6 (LA + 16) (seven innings)
So the DH was not so good. RHP Taylor Stanton (4.21, L), through five+ innings gave up six runs (five earned) on seven hits, three of which left the park, along with two hit batters and a walk. No Ks. Bad news. RHP John Housey (4.10) had a hit and a K in the last two.
The upside was that RF James Jones (HR, .246) and 3B Mario Martinez (HR, 2 RBI, .245) both hit their eighth home run, and Jones drew a walk. DH Tim Morris (R, .311) had a couple of singles.
Clinton 2, Great Lakes 3 (+ 17) (seven innings)
LHP Jimmy Gilheeney (2.85, L) gave up three runs on seven hits, a couple walks, and four Ks. Not was I was hoping for, but eh. LHP Jose Jimenez (2.22) gave up a hit and struck out a pair in the sixth.
There was a home run in the second game too, going to CF Daniel Carroll (HR, A, .273). 2B Luis Nunez (R, CS, .301), DH Vinnie Catricala (.277), and 3B Mario Martinez (RBI, .246) all had a hit and a walk and LF Kalian Sams (3B, .183) had two hits, which is the first time I’ve mentioned him in some time.
Everett 4, Salem-Keizer 6 (SF - 1)
RHP Chris Sorce (4.42, L) gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits, five walks, and five Ks in three innings. Oops. RHP Jonathan Arias (3.25) let another run score on two hits, four walks, a wild pitch, and two Ks in the next four frames and then RHP Fray Martinez (1.65) blew away everyone he faced in the ninth on Ks.
CF Dwight Britton (R, .220), DH Ryan Royster (2B, R, .277), and 2B Terry Serrano (R, CS, .283) all had two hits in the game. C Steve Baron (2B, RBI, .208) and SS Anthony Phillips (2B, R, .241) both had doubles.
Pulaski 7, Bristol 4 (CHW - 7)
We won, though the pitching by RHP Nolan Diaz (7.68) was nothing special as he let four runs score on seven hits, four walks, and four Ks in five and two-thirds innings. RHP Preston Vancil (6.23, W) did get the win, with a hit, a wild pitch, and a walk against four Ks in two and a third innings, then RHP Bryan Leigh (0.79, S) walked one and struck out a pair in the last inning.
3B Ramon Morla (2B, HR, 2 R, SB, .312) LF James Wood (2B, R, 2 SB, .291), and SS Jake Schlander (2B, RBI, .298) all had three hits in the game, but Morla also walked. Tenth home run for Morla! Huzzah! 2B Jetsy Extrano (.265) had a couple of hits and 1B Matt Browning (2B, R, RBI, .188) doubled.
Aguirre Mariners 3, VSL Phillies 9
RHP Maikel Ynfantes (4.15) pitched two innings in the first game, which I think was the actual game they meant to play and not the completion. At any rate, he gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits, a walk, and a K, seeping over into the third when RHP Reynaldo Sabala (3.29) scored two of his runs. Sabala had a couple of runs, one earned, score against him on four hits and a K in the last four innings.
So, offense. Two walks by CF Jesus Ugueto (.319), and a hit and a walk by DH Felipe Burin (RBI, .331) and RF Alexy Palma (2B, R, .279). There were also five errors and three double plays. What.
Aguirre Mariners 3, VSL Phillies 1 (seven innings)
The suspended game had RHP Ricardo Pereira (2.20) for two innings, with a hit and a wild pitch in that span. RHP Angel Raga (3.23, W) gave up a run on four hits, a wild pitch, a walk, and five Ks in the remaining five innings.
The opposing starter went six innings and had eight walks and eleven Ks. I can’t decide on what reaction I’m having to that. 3B Felipe Burin (.346) had three walks in the game. He is so good. C Ricardo Gonzalez (.171) and LF Jesus Ugueto (RBI, .333) both had two with Uggie adding a hit. 1B Ivan Ramirez (R, .316) and RF Reginald Lampe (.333) both had a hit and a walk.
The DSL shut down again. Freaking tropical depressions, I keep telling ya.
