AAA Sacramento River Cats were idle.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels edged out the Akron Rubber Ducks 2-1:

Duggar(.301), Arroyo(.281), Hinojosa(.266), Moncrief(.257), Cole(.271)- 2 hits each.
Dan Slania RHP- 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.50.
Tyler Mizenko RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 3.32.
Chase Johnson RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(2).  ERA= 3.64.

First 5 batters in the lineup had 2 hits each but they were all singles.  Big Dan Slania has emerged as a serious SP prospect this season.  Stock is way up!

*********************************************************************************

High A San Jose Giants extinguished the Bakersfield Blaze 4-1:

Dylan Davis RF- 1 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .262.
Jonah Arenado 1B- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .269.
Mark Reyes LHP- 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.26.
Tyler Cyr RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 2.25.
Reyes Maronta RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, Save(6).  ERA= 2.13.

Davis has a total of 16 dingers this season between Augusta and SJ.  If he can keep his BA above .240 or so, I see him as a potential Mark Trumbo or Mike Napoli type hitter.

*********************************************************************************

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets beat the Greensboro Grasshoppers 5-1:

Lucius Fox SS- 1 for 3, BB, Sac, SB(24).  BA= .209
Skyler Ewing 1B- 3 for 4, HR(6).  BA= .239.
Michael Connolly RHP- 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K's, GO/AO= 14/2.  ERA= 2.66.
Cesar Yanez RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.

Ewing has 4 dingers in his last 6 games.  Connolly is having a breakout season!  My man, Cesar Yanez moves from S-K to Augusta.  Kind of a sideways move, but we'll count it as a promo.

*********************************************************************************

Short Season  Everett Aquasox topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 12-9 in 12 innings:

Manuel Geraldo 3B- 2 for 7.  BA= .261.
Bryan Reynolds CF- 2 for 7, 2B, 3B.  BA= .286.
Heath Quinn RF- 1 for 6, HR(3), BB.  BA= .320.
Ashford Fulmer DH- 2 for 4, 2 HBP.  BA= .330.
Ryan Kirby 1B- 3 for 6, HR(2).  BA= .278.
Kevin Rivera 2B- 1 for 4, 2 BB.  BA= .317.
Matt Krook LHP- 3.2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.88.

Ryan Kirby is a sleeper out of the 2016 draft.

Rookie AZL  Giants were idle.

*********************************************************************************

DSL  Giants outscored the Rojos 7-6:

Wascar De Leon DH- 1 for 4, BB, SB(2).  BA= .257.
Diego Rincones RF- 3 for 5, 2B, HR(2).  BA= .270.
Francisco Medina 3B- 3 for 4.  BA= .263.
Orleny Quiroz RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= .236.

Love the name Wascar for a ballplayer!
