Sacramento 2 (OAK + 12), Tacoma 3
This is promising if we end up facing them in the playoffs. RHP Ian Snell (4.58) pitched six innings and gave up a run on four hits and four Ks. You can read that again if you like to see what’s missing. RHP Joe Nelson (6.75) gave up a walk and struck out three in the seventh, RHP Anthony Varvaro (2.70, BS) let a run score on a hit, a walk, and a K in the eighth, and RHP Scott Patterson (2.16, W) walked one and struck out one in the ninth.
That’s a walk-off, of course. RF David Winfree (2 R, 1-3, .327) and C Adam Moore (HR, 2 RBI, 4-4, .327) both singled, and after a strikeout (guess), LF Mike Wilson (1-3, BB, .294) walked and Ackley hit a sac fly with the bases loaded. DH Mike Carp (2B, .260) also had a hit and a walk.
Birmingham 4 (CHW - 10), West Tenn 1
There goes the six-game win streak. And the hit streak for Liddi. Anyway, RHP Steven Hensley (3.39, PO, L) gave up all four runs on seven hits, a wild pitch, and a hit batter against two KS in seven innings. RHP Steven Richard (6.97) had an uneventful eighth, and then RHP Josh Lueke (0.00) struck out two in the ninth again.
Two hits were had by 2B Scott Savastano (.309), 1B Nate Tenbrink (2B, R, .262), and CF Leury Bonilla (2B, .250). The rest of the lineup only reached twice, with two walks total.
High Desert 8, San Jose 3 (SF - 7)
RHP Kenn Kasparek (3.13, W) seems to be back to good, but somewhat baffling performances. It was eight innings this time, with three runs scoring on seven hits (HR) and a hit batter and only two strikeouts. RHP Jake Wild (5.72) walked one and struck out one on the ninth.
I was all prepared to get excited about the offense because San Jose is a legit pitcher’s park, except then I looked up the factors and saw that it’s favorable to right-handed home runs. I wish I didn’t have to know stuff. Well, anyways, 2B Kyle Seager (HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, .342) and RF Johermyn Chavez (HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, .303) both had three hits and SS Edilio Colina (2B, 2 R, .297) and 1B Rich Poythress (2B, HR, .292) both had two hits. It is a hard park for left-handers to hit it out, so Seager is totally legit. DH Jake Shaffer (2B, RBI, .326) added a double and LF Kuo-hui Lo (SB, .286) had a single and a walk. Lo has cooled down since arriving in the league.
Clinton 3, Lansing 0 (TOR + 3)
RHP Erasmo Ramirez (2.67, W) made it look easy, throwing eight shutout innings and giving up five hits and a walk in that span while striking out three. RHP Brandon Josselyn (2.77, S) struck out a pair in the ninth for the save.
RF James Jones (2B, R, .244), SS Nick Franklin (2B, R, RBI, .286), and 3B Mario Martinez (2B, RBI, .250) all had doubles that were involved with driving in or scoring runs. 1B Vinnie Catricala (R, SB, .275) drew the team’s only two walks.
Salem-Keizer 5 (SF - 3), Everett 7
RHP Yoervis Medina (4.20, W) gave up five runs on eight hits, a hit batter, two walks, and six Ks in five innings, which falls somewhere between “meh” and “bleh”. RHP Forrest Snow (0.00) held it in place for three innings after that, with a hit, a hit batter, and a couple of Ks, then RHP Stephen Pryor (0.57, S) got the last three outs and a save.
RF Kevin Rivers (2B, HR, 3 R, 2 RBI, .344) reached all five times up, recording four hits and a walk. 2B Hawkins Gebbers (2B, R, .230), 3B Kevin Mailloux (2 2B, R, RBI, .268), LF Ryan Royster (3B, R, 2 RBI, .274), and C Steve Baron (2B, .222) all had two hits, with Mailloux drawing a walk. 1B Evan Sharpley (R, RBI, E, .254) had a single and a walk.
Pulaski 5, Bristol 1 (CHW - 7)
That’s more like it! RHP George Mieses (2.82, W) got his third win, pitching seven innings and let a run score on three hits, a plunked batter, and a walk while striking out five. RHP Matthew Bischoff (1.37, S) got the save with a two-inning stint where he allowed two hits and rung up four.
1B Matt Browning (2B, RBI, SB, .190) had a double and a couple of walks, and 2B Jorge Agudelo (2B, 3B, 2 R, 2 SB, PO, .295) also reached three times with two hits and a walk. That covers walks and basepaths for the evening. 3B Ramon Morla (2 RBI, .306) had two singles. Blash made his debut as well, going 1-for-4 with a couple of Ks and an assist.
AZL Brewers 8, Peoria Mariners 3
RHP Dylan Unsworth (3.38, L) gave up five runs on nine hits and six Ks in five innings. On the plus side, it’s 32.0 innings and Sharkie still hasn’t walked anyone. RHP Luke Taylor (7.94) let another three runs score on four hits (HR), a wild pitch, and two Ks in the next two innings. LHP Kody Kurowski (9.00) had a hit, a walk, and a K in the last two frames.
LF Michael Acevedo (RBI, .377) had two singles and SS Carlos Ramirez (2B, R, .273) and 1B Ji-man Choi (R, .429) both had a hit and a walk.
VSL Reds 7, Aguirre Mariners 8
RHP Ivan Julio (2.13, E) gave up five unearned runs through four innings after six hits, a couple of wild pitches, and two walks against a K. RHP Daniel Mata (5.94) then took over for three and two-thirds innings with a couple of runs scoring on four hits, a wild pitch, a couple of hit batters, a walk, and four Ks. LHP Oscar Bravo (1.98, W) ended up with the win after a hit, a walk, and a K in the last inning and a third.
Two runs in the eighth to get the win? Yeah, sure let’s do this. With one out, 2B-3B Ramon Coronel (2 R, .235) singled to right, and then DH Felipe Burin (R, RBI, 3-5, .347) singled to center, which got Coronel to third on an error. 1B-C Ivan Ramirez (2B, R, 2 RBI, E, 3-5, .346) singled to drive one in, and then an out later, Lampe drove in Burin on another single. CF Jesus Ugueto (R, .320) was the out to open that inning, though he had three hits just like Burin and Ramirez. Similarly, the out between Ivan and Lampe was 3B-1B Miguel Brito (2B, 2 R, .291), who had a double and a walk, and the final out was by RF Alexy Palma (R, 2 RBI, .279), who had a single and two walks. They all helped, just not in that inning.
