Triple-A — Portland 8, Omaha 7
Craig Stansberry (SS): 0-for-5, BB (.232/.360/.411, 19 BB, 19 SO)
Matt Antonelli: 0-for-5, BB (.188/.319/.348, 20 BB, 22 SO)
Chase Headley: 5-for-5, 2B, BB (.304/.383/.464, 15 BB, 33 SO, 11 2B)
Brian Myrow: 1-for-5, 2B, BB (.318/.450/.536, 27 BB, 26 SO)
Edgar Gonzalez (RF): 3-for-5, HR, BB (.307/.404/.440, 11 BB, 12 SO)
Will Venable (DH): 1-for-5, BB, SB (.296/.315/.423, 2 BB, 15 SO)
Chip Ambres (CF): 1-for-5, 2B, BB (.274/.381/.481, 18 BB, 23 SO)
Nick Hundley: 2-for-4, 2 2B, BB (.217/.275/.410, 7 BB, 15 SO)
Josh Banks: 5.1 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 5 SO (10.22 ERA, 5.84 K/9)
Paul Abraham: 1.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 0 SO (5.21 ERA, 7.58 K/9)
Jared Wells: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO (3.60 ERA, 6.60 K/9)
The Beavers won on a two-run double off the bat of Myrow in the top of the ninth… Every batter in the Portland lineup drew at least one walk… Not a bad night for Headley… Conspicuously absent is Jody Gerut, who could be in San Diego by the time the Padres suit up for their next game.
More coverage at the Portland Oregonian.
Double-A — Midland 11, San Antonio 6
Chad Huffman (DH): 2-for-4, 2B, BB (.331/.416/.480, 18 BB, 24 SO, 10 2B)
Kyle Blanks: 2-for-5 (.310/.407/.451, 19 BB, 12 SO)
Drew Macias: 0-for-5 (.230/.333/.413, 18 BB, 26 SO)
Jose Lobaton: 0-for-3 (.232/.280/.244, 7 BB, 18 SO)
Steve Garrison: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 4 BB, 3 SO (4.30 ERA, 5.52 K/9)
Neil Jamison: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 0 SO (1.69 ERA, 5.91 K/9)
Garrison needed 90 pitches (only 51 of which were strikes) to get through 18 batters… Ex-Padre Todd Donovan launched a grand slam to spearhead an eight-run fifth for Midland.
High-A — San Jose 4, Lake Elsinore 2
Javis Diaz: 0-for-4 (.289/.331/.439, 7 BB, 33 SO, 9 SB)
Cedric Hunter: 1-for-4 (.321/.401/.374, 17 BB, 14 SO)
Eric Sogard: 1-for-2, 2 BB (.398/.510/.545, 29 BB, 12 SO, 16 2B)
Mitch Canham: 0-for-3, BB (.260/.390/.406, 21 BB, 19 SO, 4 E, 6 PB)
Kellen Kulbacki: 0-for-3, BB (.200/.333/.250, 4 BB, 3 SO)
Drew Miller: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 2 SO (3.93 ERA, 8.13 K/9)
Hunter is rebounding nicely from a subpar 2007, Sogard’s numbers are just sick, and Canham is hitting the ball well (although his defense leaves a bit to be desired at this point).
Low-A — South Bend 6, Fort Wayne 5
Luis Durango (CF): 2-for-5, BB (.235/.343/.271, 14 BB, 15 SO, 7 SB)
Andrew Cumberland (SS): 0-for-5, BB, E (.229/.287/.295, 8 BB, 11 SO, 8 SB, 11 E)
Shane Buschini: 2-for-4, 2B, HR (.387/.429/.645, 3 BB, 8 SO)
Felix Carrasco: 2-for-5, 2 2B (.253/.303/.484, 7 BB, 42 SO)
Justin Baum: 0-for-5 (.221/.327/.379, 16 BB, 22 SO)
Bradley Chalk (DH): 2-for-5, 3B (.279/.367/.346, 14 BB, 14 BB, 5 SB)
Yefri Carvajal: 3-for-5, 2 2B, SB (.230/.268/.336, 7 BB, 32 SO, 4 SB)
Geoff Vandel: 4 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 3 SO (5.16 ERA, 6.67 K/9)
Mat Latos: 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 1 SO (2.57 ERA, 7.71 K/9)
I never thought anyone could make Russell Branyan look like a contact hitter, but Carrasco is doing just that.
