Minor League Scorebook
- Not much going on in this week's Prospect
Hot Sheet, except to note that Brandon Wood's good week earned him
a (ho-hum!) mention in the "In the Team Photo" section:
Triple-A Salt Lake SS Brandon Wood (Angels) was hot this week, batting .393/.393/.750 (11-for-28) with two home runs, two doubles, a triple, nine RBIs and six runs scored. The 23-year-old supplied a walk-off hit on Tuesday, but still struck out once a game, on average, and did not draw a walk.
Those last five words are enough. - More from the Travs: Cody Fuller has been activated after a seven-week stint on the DL. Anderson Rosario was moved to Rancho to make room.
- Update: Kelvim Escobar will start a rehab assignment with Rancho on Monday.

Bulger: (S, 9), 1.2 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 0.73 ERA
Giancarlo Alvarado only lasted three innings in this one, so reliever (!) Kasey Olenberger vultured the win; Jason Bulger got his ninth save and dropped his ERA to an unearthly 0.73 despite walking a pair; he struck out four in 1.2 innings of work. Bobby Wilson drove in three, one on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the top of the ninth.
Johnson, Be: 1-4, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 K
Denham: (L, 6-6), 4.0 IP, 5 R, 5 ER, 8 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 3.54 ERA

Browning: 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
An unsightly loss for the Travs, who never held a lead. Ben Johnson got his 18th homer of the season, a two-run jack that scored Wilberto Ortiz in the bottom of the fourth.
Nieves: 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 BB
Mount: 1-5, 2 K
Trumbo: 2-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI

Herndon: (S, 5), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 1 BB, 5.45 ERA
Rancho had to come back from a 6-2 deficit at the middle of the fourth, but they banged away at it, narrowing it to 6-3 after P.J. Phillips' RBI infield single in the bottom of the frame. Flint Wipke's two-run homer in the seventh turned the game around; the Quakes won it on Larry Infante's RBI single in the eighth, but they had to quell a High Desert ninth-inning rally by erasing a pair of base runners, one of which (Eric Monzon) who reached on a fielding error by 2B Ryan Mount.
Estrella: 0-3, 2 BB, 2 K
Navarro: 2-5, 1 K
Brossman: 3-5, 2 2B, 2 RBI, 1 K

Kiely: (S, 1), 1.1 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 K, 0 BB, 6.75 ERA
Robert Fish got his fourth straight start on his third consecutive quality start. A real group effort in which the bottom of the order did most of the damage, with an exciting three-run ninth that provided crucial insurance runs.
Jimenez: 2-4, 1 BB
Jacobo: 3-3, 2 2B, 1 BB
Perez, J: 5.2 IP, 3 R, 2 ER, 6 H, 8 K, 0 BB, 2 HR, 4.02 ERA
Nabors: 2.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 K, 0 BB, 2.84 ERA
Cabrera: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 1.29 ERA
Tom Kotchman got his 1,500th career managerial win in this one, and it was somehow fitting that they had to go to extras to get it. Ogden had a 3-2 lead going into the eighth, but Alberto Rosario's scoring groundout tied it. Brandon Tuten gave up a pair of wild pitches in the 10th, one of which ended in a run scoring, and the other put a baserunner in scoring position (he scored, also).
Update: More at the Daily Herald:
"I didn't think about it at all until everyone started bringing it up," said the veteran coach. "All it means is you have been around a long time, you have had your health, and obviously you've had a lot of good players."Kotchman said he started getting the good players in 1983 when he had Roger Clemens and a player by the name of Mike Brumley, Ogden's current manager.
Those names were followed by more big names like Garret Anderson, Troy Percival, Todd Green, John Lachey, Frankie Rodriguez. Of the 40 players on the Los Angeles Angels' roster, 27 were coached by Kotchman, including his son, Casey.
"Your job at his level is to teach the kids the game on the field and off. It's a different form of school," Kotchman said. "That is the part I like, that is the part that was most conducive for my family."
When Brumley learned the significance of the victory, he expressed his congratulations.
"Good for him, I'm just the guy to get it against," he said with a smile. "I think I was No. 1,000 for Bobby Jones. I seem to move guys up the list a lot.
"No, good for Tom. He's been there a long time, does a good job. He has made his mark on the game."

Leach: 2.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 3 BB, 1 HR, 2.83 ERA
This was merely your garden-variety blowout until the seven-run ninth, egged on by shortstop-pitcher Adolfo Gonzalez, given an opportunity to provide batting practice that inning. He surrendered three consecutive hits to lead off the inning, the third being a home run to Craig Tatum; later, he gave up a grand slam to Eric Eymann. Good times.
