Alex Liddi and Rich Poythress were hitters of the week.
Sacramento 4 (OAK + 11), Tacoma 5 (ten innings)
LHP Ryan Feierabend (4.92) gave up a run on seven hits and two walks against two Ks in five+ innings of work. Not a lot of Ks for him this season. RHP Yusmeiro Petit (5.91) gave up two runs on a hit and a walk while striking out one in the next inning and two-thirds, though RHP Sean White (0.00) would score both on two hits, a hit batter, and two Ks in the following inning and a third. RHP Levale Speigner (5.08, BS, W) gave up a solo home run along with another hit and two walks in two innings, but somehow got the win. Maybe he’s turning bad again?
Let’s talk about more positive things such as walk-off victories. Matt Mangini (2B, 2 R, 2-4, BB, .309) doubled and the moved to third on a passed ball before scoring on a single by Wilson. Awesome. 1B Brad Nelson (2B, HR, .291) had three hits, and like Mangini, RF David Winfree (2 2B, R, .333) also had two hits. SS Matt Tuiasosopo (HR, 2 RBI, .250) hit his fifth home run while leading off. There are a number of things that seem wrong about that statement. LF Mike Carp (2B, CS, .261) had a double and a walk. In sad news for Sweeney fans, he was held up limping after grounding into a double play and was replaced by Wilson at DH.
Birmingham 4 (CHW - 11), West Tenn 9
RHP Jarrett Grube (2.44) was not so good this time, giving up four runs (three earned) on seven hits (HR), two walks, and four Ks through five innings. The Barons’ bullpen just happened to be worse, as LHP Nick Hill (5.87, W) held their offense to a hit and two Ks while the Jaxx offense secured the lead, and RHP Dan Cortes (5.71), who allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one on the final two innings, didn’t even have a save opportunity.
C Brandon Bantz (2B, R, RBI, PB, .276) had three hits in the game as the #8 hitter, and the one through four of CF Brandon Haveman (RBI, .295), RF Nate Tenbrink (3 R, .270), 3B Alex Liddi (2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI, E, .277), and 1B Johan Limonta (R, RBI, .290) all had two, with Tenrbink adding a walk. DH Carlos Peguero (RBI, CS, .266) and 2B Leury Bonilla (2 R, RBI, .251) both had a hit and a walk.
Clinton 5, Lansing 9 (TOR + 4)
RHP Nolan Gallagher (4.18) gave up four runs on nine hits (HR), a walk, and four Ks in five and two-thirds innings. Not good? LHP Jose Jimenez (2.58) then gave up two runs on three hits in two-thirds of an inning, which is worse. RHP Daniel Cooper (4.63) walked one taking it through the seventh, and then RHP Jorden Merry (6.43) gave up three runs on two hits, a wild pitch, two walks, and three Ks in the eighth.
Nearly everyone in the lineup had a hit. 1B Vinnie Catricala (HR, 2 R, .277), C Henry Contrares (2B, R, RBI, .390), RF James Jones (2B, .247), and LF Matt Cerione (.230) all had two hits, with Contreras adding a walk, and 3B Mario Martinez (HR, 3 RBI, .251) hit a home run and a walk. Catricala and Martinez both had nine home runs.
Salem-Keizer 1 (SF - 4), Everett 4
LHP Anthony Fernandez (3.22, W) allowed a lone run to score on four hits and a walk against six Ks in six and two-thirds innings. It’s quite nice to see him get back on track. RHP Austin Hudson (2.61, S) pitched the final two and a third and allowed a hit while striking out two.
RF Kevin Rivers (SB, .341) walked three times. Things such as these have stopped fazing me as much. I just want to see him promoted. 3B Terry Serrano (R, SB, .300), DH Jimmy Jacquot (2B, 2 RBI, .234), 1B Evan Sharpley (HR, .262), and CF Dwight Britton (R, SB, .232) all had two hits, with Serrano and Jacquot adding walks. SS Anthony Phillips (2B, R, .244) doubled. LF Ryan Royster (.267) had two walks.
Pulaski 1, Bluefield 11 (BAL - 12)
And back to this? RHP Yovanny Olivero (6.63, L) gave up four runs (three earned) on nine hits, a wild pitch, and two walks against two Ks in five innings of work. This was not nearly as bad as LHP Bennett Whitmore (7.24), who surrendered seven runs (four earned) on seven hits, a walk, and four Ks in tow and two-thirds inning. But RHP Lance Abbott (3.72) let two of those score on a hit before recording the final K.
2B Jetsy Extrano (2B, R, 3 SB, .250) doubled and CF Jose Rivero (SB, A, .329) had a hit and a walk. There were six stolen bases in all by the M’s in this one. Since they really weren’t getting the hits strung together to score runs, I’d say this was a solid maneuver by manager Eddie Menchaca.
Peoria Mariners 3, AZL Dodgers 1
LHP Nate Reed (3.94, W, E) let a run score after four hits and a wild pitch in five innings, but hey, he struck out nine! RHP Jandy Sena (3.38, S) got a four-inning save, allowing two hits and striking out three. It may be time to add him to the collection of AZL stats at the end of the wrap.
3B Patrick Brady (R, .133) had three hits in the game, RF Robert Rodriguez (R, RBI, .231) and SS Carlos Ramirez (2B, RBI, CS, .284) both had two, and C Jose Hernandez (2B, R, RBI, .205) doubled. A lot of summer league representation there.
VSL Pirates 11, Aguirre Mariners 2
Pirates. Mariners. It sounds like an uneven matchup, and very often, it is. RHP Ricardo Pereira (3.75, 2 E, L) gave up six runs (five earned) after five hits (HR), three walks, and three Ks in five innings. RHP Rafael Carrera (8.64) let five more runs (four earned) score on five hits, a couple of wild pitches, two walks, and a K in the next three and a third innings, but RHP Jesus Pirela (14.85) scored one of those with a hit and a walk to wrap up the game.
2B Diego Mina (2B, R, .190), C Franklin Diaz (2B, R, RBI, .237), and CF-RF Alexy Palma (2B, .280) all had a double, with Palma adding a walk. In the cases of Mina and Diaz, they did it with only one at-bat. C Ivan Ramirez (.351) had two hits before Mina came on.
DSL Brewers 1, Yamasa Mariners 3 (seven innings)
Getting our games in post-storm… LHP Brandol Perez (0.35, W) pitched seven complete and gave up a run on four hits and four Ks. Strange that he should get the start, but whatever. It may have been the other Perez too, who knows.
SS Noe Berro (2B, RBI, .229) doubled. Yep.
Yamasa Mariners 6, DSL Brewers 4 (seven innings)
LHP Leonel Cortoreal (6.93) gave up four runs on three hits (2 HR!) and three walks in two and a third innings. RHP Gregorio Aquino (4.12, W) allowedgave up two hits and struck out four going the rest of the way.
There was more offense worth writing about in this one. 2B George Soto (2 RBI, .201) and 3B Rudy van Heydoorn (.294) both had two hits, RF Efrain Nunez (2 R, 2 SB, .160) and SS-2B Luis Matias (SB, .237) had two walks apiece, and DH Axel Wel (2 R, .180) had a single and a walk. There were seven stolen bases in the game, one of which was of home.
