Minor League Scorebook
News
- Michael Anton continues his improbable climb through the minors and has been promoted to Rancho. To replace him, the struggling Trevor Bell has been demoted to Cedar Rapids after a 12-run shelling on June 10. As a consequence, Trevor Reckling will take Anton's place on the Midwest League's All-Star roster.
- The Kernels disabled Mason Tobin with a right shoulder strain; he will be replaced by LHP Chris Armstrong from Salt Lake.
- The Cedar River is undergoing a 500-year flood; so high were the flood waters that the city's gauge has been swept away. Stephen Smith says the river will flood at over 33 feet, wiping out the previous record of 20 feet.
Scores
Morrissey: 2-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Patchett: 0-3, 2 BB, 1 K
Smith, Coby: 2-4
Adenhart: (L, 5-5), 2.1 IP, 7 R, 7 ER, 7 H, 3 K, 5 BB, 2 HR, 4.75 ERA
Kennard, J: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 6.14 ERA
Nick Adenhart's worst start in two years; for something comparable in his minor league career, you'd have to go all the way back to his June 4, 2006 start with Cedar Rapids against Burlington. (Man, how weird is it that, despite the sometimes rocky road Adenhart's had in the minors, he was once a teammate with Mark Trumbo? And Trumbo is only this year playing in high-A ball?)
Adenhart walked his first batter, Tug Hulett, and things just got worse, walking the the bases loaded, giving up a scoring walk, and then a grand slam; and he wasn't done with the first! He gave up a leadoff homer to Charlton Jimerson in the third after a wobbly second, and shortly thereafter got yanked.
Adam Morrissey homered twice in the game, but that was about it for offensive highlights for the Bees; even despite the loss, Salt Lake still has the best record in the PCL.
Johnson: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Collins: 2-4, 1 RBI
Rodriguez, Fe: 6.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 H, 8 K, 2 BB, 5.26 ERA
Rodriguez, R: 3.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 1.59 ERA
Marek: (W, 2-3) (in relief), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 3.21 ERA
I have said that there isn't a lot of talent at Arkansas this year, and that's mostly true; there's a few pitchers, but for the most part, the offense is elsewhere. Michael Collins was a guy who was a fringy prospect three years ago when he was younger and at Cedar Rapids. Collins has long left catching behind, which, with his numbers, means he'll have to hit his way to the Show, since he's moved to first base. This year, he's hitting .275/.369/.426, and though he's never had a lot of power, he's getting on base at a very good clip considering his average. There might just be some potential there.
The Travs got a pair in the bottom of the first sparked by Nate Sutton's leadoff triple, and another in the sixth to tie it after Tulsa took the lead 3-2 in the third. Collins then got a bases-loaded, one-out single in the bottom of the tenth to make a winner of Stephen Marek.
Conger: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K
Trumbo: 0-3, 1 BB
Rosario, Al: 2-4, 1 RBI
Diaz: (W, 5-4), 6.1 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 7 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 4.74 ERA
Browning: (S, 6), 1.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 K, 1 BB, 3.94 ERA
Paul: 2-4, 1 K
Tiffee: 2-5, 3 K
Lindsey: 4-5, 2 2B, 2 RBI
Griffin: 1-2, 2 BB
Hu: 1-4, 1 K
Ruan: 2-2, 1 RBI
Johnson: (W, 9-3), 6.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 5 H, 5 K, 3 BB, 1 HR, 4.40 ERA
Miller: 0.2 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 5.46 ERA
Las Vegas scored two in the first and never looked back. Jason Repko slammed his fifth home run of the year, a leadoff shot in the fifth. Terry Tiffee was productive in his first game since returning from the Dodgers, though the strikeout hat trick shows he might have a bit of rust.
De Jesus: 2-4, 1 BB
Bellhorn: 1-3, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Gonzalez, J: 2-4, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K
Godwin: 3-3, 1 2B, 3 RBI, 2 BB
White, C: 1-4, 3 K
White, C: (W, 1-0), 6.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 H, 5 K, 3 BB, 3.09 ERA
Akin: 2.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 5.35 ERA
Ville vs. Ville, and Jacksonville won this with a five run first highlighted by Juan Gonzalez's bases-clearing double. Cody White and Brian Akin combined on a four-hitter to suppress the Stars' offense for the night.
Santana, C: 2-7, 2 2B, 1 BB
Locke: 2-4, 1 2B, 2 RBI
Rogowski: 2-3, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Pedroza: 1-6, 1 3B, 4 K
Lara: 3-7, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 K
Lopez: 1-6, 1 BB, 4 K
Sexton: 7.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 7 H, 4 K, 0 BB, 5.52 ERA
Koss: (BS, 1), 1.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 3.00 ERA
Meque: (BS, 2), 1.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 2.57 ERA
Guerra: 3.2 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 5.04 ERA
Jones: (W, 2-2) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 3.02 ERA
Blame Jacobo Mecque for this one, because he allowed the Storm to get a two-out rally that resulted in seven innings of scoreless baseball, almost an entire game by itself. Ryan Rogowski won it with a walkoff RBI single to sweep the Storm.
Silverio: 1-4, 1 2B, 1 K
Garabedian: 3-4, 1 3B, 1 HR, 3 RBI
Dalton: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 K
Baez: 1-3, 1 BB
Kutz: 8.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 7 H, 6 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 2.59 ERA
Sanfler: (L, 1-1) (in relief), 0.2 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 0 K, 2 BB, 3.29 ERA
