Tacoma 1, Fresno 2 (SF + 11) (ten innings)
RHP Michael Pineda (3.38), again held to about 85 pitches, went six innings and gave up a run on four hits (HR), a hit batter, a walk, and four Ks. Let’s see… one of the top teams in the league, hot day, 10/3 ground fly, favorable park for offense… It’s not sexy, but I’ll take it. RHP Anthony Varvaro (1.86) pitched the next three innings, allowing a hit and a couple of walks while striking out three. RHP Levale Speigner (5.08, L) again was troubled by hits and a lack of defensive backing, giving up an unearned run on three hits without recording an out. Thus ended the game.
Offense included CF Gregory Halman (R, SB, .255) collecting two hits (no one had an extra-base knock) and 3B Matt Tuiasosopo (.259) getting a hit and a walk. Sweendog was also in the lineup, going 1-for-4 before being replaced after hitting his at-bat quota, one would suppose. Carp had an outfield assist. Yep.
West Tenn 8, Tennessee 5 (CHC + 4)
RHP Blake Beavan (5.00, PO, W) gave up five runs (four earned) through seven innings after seven hits and a hit batter while striking out five. Pass? RHP Luis Munoz (4.15), back in town, struck out one in the next inning before giving way to RHP Josh Lueke (0.00, S), who gave up a hit and rung up two in the ninth.
2B Matt Lawson (2B, 2 R, 2 RBI, .395) returned to the scene in a big way, going 4-for-5 after a few nights sitting on the bench. 1B Johan Limonta (RBI, .292) had two singles and a walk. DH Carlos Peguero (HR, 2 RBI, .265) hit his eighteenth home run and struck out his other three times up.
Inland Empire 7 (LA - 1), High Desert 5
LHP Anthony Vasquez (3.07) allowed four runs (three earned) to score after seven hits, a hit batter, and three walks against three Ks in six frames of work. RHP Blake Nation (5.06) allowed a hit and a walk in an inning and a third and LHP Bobby LaFromboise (4.06) walked one while wrapping up the eighth. RHP Stephen Penney (3.38, BS, L) then let three runs score on three hits (HR) and a hit batter in the ninth. Whoops.
CF Denny Almonte (HR, A, .264) and 3B Shaver Hansen (HR, 2 RBI, SB, .220) both hit home runs. An unlikely pairing, as one has eighteen and the other, three. C Ralph Henriquez (R, RBI, PB, .283) had two singles and 1B Rich Poythress (2B, R, .298) doubled. Seager's hit streak ended, so that kind of sucks.
Cedar Rapids 5 (ANA + 8), Clinton 3
RHP Taylor Stanton (4.05) gave up one run on five hits and a hit batter while striking out over six innings, which was his best start in months. RHP Forrest Snow (4.50) then gave up a run on a solo shot in two innings and rung up five. These were both for naught. RHP Brandon Josselyn (3.43, BS, L) let three runs score on four hits in a third of an inning before LHP Jose Jimenez (2.54) had to be called in for the final two outs.
CF Daniel Carroll (3B, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, .275) had two extra-base knocks of the long distance variety. LF Kalian Sams (CS, A, .184) just had two singles. Sams’ isolated slugging is a hundred and fifty points lower in the second half than it was in the first. DH Tim Morris (2B, RBI, .304), 3B Mario Martinez (2B, .252), and 2B Gabriel Noriega (2B, R, E, .215) all had doubles.
Everett 0, Tri-City 7 (COL)
RHP Tom Wilhelmsen (3.68) had just a hit, a wild pitch, and a hit batter in five innings while striking out six. Which means he didn’t get the loss. RHP Eric Thomas (5.03, E, L) did after letting all seven runs (two earned) score on five hits, a couple of hit batters, two walks, and two Ks in two and two-thirds innings. RHP Ogui Diaz (9.88) hit one before striking out the final batter. Four hit batters is going to be just amazing for the relations between the two teams.
RF Kevin Rivers (.344) had a hit and two walks. I think this might be a little late, but FREE KEVIN RIVERS. CF Robbie Anston (CS, .290) had two singles and a walk and LF Ryan Royster (2B, .269) and C Steve Baron (2B, .217) both doubled.
Pulaski 4, Bluefield 5 (BAL - 12)
It could have been worse but this is still dumb. RHP Nolan Diaz (7.88) gave up four runs on four hits (HR), a balk, a hit batter, and two walks against two Ks in three and two-thirds innings. RHP Tim Griffin (6.35) walked one and struck out six in the next three and a third innings. Perhaps a move to the rotation is imminent. Nah, he’s too inconsistent. RHP Preston Vancil (6.75) gave up a run on a hit in the ninth. It was triple. Mark that down on your scorecards.
3B Ramon Morla (R, .299) had two hits that didn’t leave the park and a walk. CF Mario Yepez (R, RBI, SB, .201), SS Jake Schlander (R, .302), LF Jose Rivero (.333), and 1B Matt Browning (.245) all had a hit and a walk and DH Ethan Paquette (2B, CS, .231) doubled and was caught stealing home. This could have made the difference between it being a shutout and not.
Yamasa Mariners 0, DSL Athletics 1 (seven innings)
Doubleheader. RHP Domingo Brazoban (4.19, L) took the loss, though the outing itself was not bad, as he went five frames and allowed one run to score on three hits, a wild pitch, a balk, a hit batter, a walk, and four Ks. RHP Noel de la Cruz (4.22) had an uneventful sixth.
RF Janelfry Zorilla (2B, SB, .273) and C Miguel Sanchez (.171) both had a couple of hits. The team was 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position, which is not a good place to be.
Yamasa Mariners 4, DSL Athletics 2 (seven innings)
So game two was better. RHP Enrique Rosario (4.66) let two runs score after five hits, a wild pitch, and two walks against eight Ks in five and a third innings. LHP Leoncio Munoz (3.70) recorded the last two outs of the sixth before RHP Yunior de Jesus (1.65, S) came one for the seventh, when he struck out one. Munoz also scored one of Rosario’s runs, apparently.
2b-3B Jordy Lara (2B, .168), 3B-1B Rudy van Heydoorn (2B, .307), and SS Bertin Sanon (2B, R, 2 RBI, .193) all had doubles in the game, with van Heydoorn drawing a walk. The offense was quite a bit more efficient.
