Minor League Scorebook
News
- A technicality: Brent Del Chiaro was released from his minor league contract in order to become the Angels' bullpen catcher.
- Two pitchers moved to Cedar Rapids from extended spring training: LHP P.J. Connelly, and RHP Sammy Leon. To make room, RHP Pedro Herrero was moved to the DL with right bicep tendinitis, and RHP Robert Romero was released.
- More (belated) Kernels news: RHP Trevor Bell was placed on the 15-day DL with a left groin strain he suffered while warming up for his scheduled start on April 24. LHP Blake Holler joined the team from extended spring training to replace him on the roster.
- Nate Goldstein takes a look at young players in the majors; the Angels fare pretty well (fifth overall in his final Composite Organizational Rankings), though the Dodgers come out in the middle of the pack (12th, just ahead of the A's). The AL has it all over the NL in prospecty goodness, and the big shock is that the Yankees come out ahead of the Angels and even the Devil Rays on his ranking. I have a hard time believing that.
Scores
2007-04-27: Sacramento 5, Salt Lake 7 #
Figgins: 2-4
Haynes: 2-3, 2 3B, 2 RBI
Murphy: 2-2, 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 RBI, 2 BB
Morales: 0-4
Gorneault: 1-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K
Mathis: 0-4, 1 K
Evans: 0-4, 1 K
Olenberger: (W, 3-1), 7.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 7 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 2.86 ERA
Serrano: 1.2 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 3.68 ERA
Salt Lake won this game despite being outhit by Sacramento 12-8; the Bees got 'em with men on base. Chone Figgins made a rehab appearance in this game, getting a pair of hits, the first a bunt single in the bottom of the first. Moving to second on a balk, Nathan Haynes then sacrificed him to third. Tommy Murphy walked to put men on the corners, but then Figgins tried to steal home and was caught by right hander Shane Komine, the A's 14th-ranked prospect according to the Baseball America 2007 Prospect Handbook. The play — which must have been a wonder of infielding to behold — went down 1-3-4-3-2-5, and reads like a busted double steal.
Haynes: 2-3, 2 3B, 2 RBI

Figgins' other hit was a third inning blooper over the head of River Cats shortstop Donnie Murphy. A Nathan Haynes triple cashed him in, and Tommy Murphy's ensuing triple sent Haynes home, part of a five-run fifth capped by a two-run dinger by Nick Gorneault, his second of the year.
The victory marked a franchise milestone for the Bees as the 1,000th win in the history of the PCL team. The Bees were established in 1994 as the Buzz, and have had numerous predecessor teams from that league play there, albeit not continuously.

Arredondo: 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 1.64 ERA
Tim Duff's RBI single in the bottom of the second was all it took to get the Travs past the Wranglers today. Daniel Davidson had a sparkling outing, surrendering only a home run while striking out five. He gave up seven hits and no walks, outdueling former Dodger draftee Luke Hochevar, who got yanked in the fourth. Jose Arredondo closed out the game with a scoreless ninth.

And Sean Rodriguez collected a golden sombrero. Sorry, Sean, better luck next time.

Conger: 0-3
Mount: 3-3
Herndon: (W, 3-0), 7.0 IP, 3 R, 1 ER, 8 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 2.42 ERA
A rare seven-inning Friday doubleheader, Stantrel Smith lined the first pitch from Lansing reliever Paul Phillips in the bottom of the seventh to knock in the winning run. Kenneth Herndon pitched a complete game on four hits and two walks; two of Lansing's runs were unearned thanks to errors by Hank Conger and Matt Sweeney.

Leon: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
A sweep of the doubleheader. Hank Conger hasn't had a hit in the last three games, and Mark Trumbo has had one hit — a homer — in his last 24 at bats. Fortunately, Peter Bourjos came to the rescue. Blake Holler started the game and pitched a very solid four innings in his Midwest League debut.

Wright: (L, 0-1) (in relief), 2.1 IP, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 3 BB, 3.21 ERA
The Devil Rays' AA affiliate Montgomery Biscuits leaped out to a four-run lead in the top of the first, powered partly by consecutive homers from Reid Brignac and former Dirtbag Evan Longoria, no doubt helped by a stiff 20 MPH wind out to center.

Jacksonville tied with one in the first and three in the third, but the game really got away from them in the six-run sixth. Jason Pridie and Longoria had RBI singles to put the game out of reach for good.
Justin Orenduff only survived through three innings, and the rest of the game was a patchwork of relievers. Wesley Wright entered the game in relief, and committed a throwing error in the fifth that allowed Pridie to reach second base, but pitched around it. In the sixth, Wright uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Shaun Cumberland to score. Wright left the game with baserunners on first and second, and reliever Fernando Perez gave up Pridie's RBI single to further damage Wright's ERA.

Troncoso: 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 1.42 ERA
Shane Justis's solo homer was the only scoring in this pitcher's duel. Ramon Troncoso gave up a meaningless run in the top of the ninth after giving up a walk to Lino Garcia and a single to Kyle Blumenthal; a single to Eric Young, Jr. cashed in Garcia.

Van Slyke: 2-3, 1 K
Johnson: (W, 1-2), 5.2 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 5.74 ERA
A seven-inning doubleheader, the Loons took an early lead in the second thanks to Carlos Santana's three-run shot and never looked back. The Loons' other run came in a two-out rally in the top of the seventh off onomatopoetically named reliever Brett Zamzow, who gave up a single to Scott Van Slyke, a steal of second, and a double to Elian Herrera.

The Loons swept the doubleheader. With the score tied in the seventh, the game went into extra innings, both sides trading zeroes in the eighth. Great Lakes loaded the bases in the top of the ninth, and Trayvon Robinson walked across the first run of a three-run inning that Clinton shortstop Marcus Lemon helped along by throwing away a ball to first. Doug Brooks earned his first save of the year.
