Geez, I’ve been blogging for seven years? Here’s the first post, if anyone still cares…
Triple-A — Portland 9, Las Vegas 3
Will Venable (CF): 1-for-4, BB
Chase Headley (3B): 1-for-2, HR, 2 BB, E
Brian Myrow: 3-for-3, 2B, 2 HR, 2 BB
Chip Ambres (RF): 2-for-4, BB
Vince Sinisi (LF): 3-for-5, 2B
Matt Antonelli: 1-for-4
Cesar Ramos: 6.2 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 0 HR, 2 BB, 3 SO
Mauro Zarate: 2.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 1 SO, HBP
Venable moves up to the #2 hole… Headley seems to be seeing more action at the hot corner of late; conspiracy theorists should enjoy that… I don’t care how old Myrow is; the guy still rakes…
Double-A — Corpus Christi 3, San Antonio 2
Drew Macias : 2-for-3, BB
Chad Huffman: 0-for-4
Kyle Blanks: 0-for-4
Craig Cooper: 1-for-4
Seth Johnston: 0-for-4, E
Colt Morton: 1-for-4, 2B
Steve Garrison: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 BB, 4 SO, 1-for-1, 2B, SH
Mike Ekstrom: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 0 SO
Garrison is quietly putting together a nice little season in the Texas League. The K/9 is a shade low (6.49), but not in the danger zone.
High-A — Inland Empire 4, Lake Elsinore 3
Javis Diaz: 0-for-4, SB
Cedric Hunter: 1-for-4
Eric Sogard: 1-for-4, 2B
Mitch Canham: 2-for-4
Kellen Kulbacki (DH): 1-for-3, BB
Nathan Culp: 6 IP, 8 H, 4 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 3 SO (9 GO)
Nice to see Sogard knocking doubles again.
Low-A — Dayton 5, Fort Wayne 4
Luis Durango (DH): 1-for-3, BB
Drew Cumberland (SS): 3-for-3, 2 BB, E
Lance Zawadzki (2B): 1-for-5, 2B
Felix Carrasco: 0-for-4, BB, E
Yefri Carvajal: 2-for-5
Shane Buschini: 1-for-4, 2B
Justin Baum (PH): 0-for-1
Aaron Breit: 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 HR, 0 BB, 2 SO
Mat Latos: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 3 SO
Robert Woodard: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 HR, 1 BB, 2 SO
Cumberland moves into the #3 spot and responds in a big way… Good to see Latos back in action. He gave up a ground ball single and walk to start the fifth before striking out the next three batters. Latos took the loss because the first batter he faced in the sixth reached on an error by Carrasco; a subsequent reliever allowed the runner to score.
