Minor League Scorebook
News
Explanatory note: Yesterday I ran a post entitled "Minor League News" with the understanding that there was something wrong with MILB.com's XML. Not so much; I needed to get some sleep, apparently, but that stuff is all here now.- Matt Brown and Kevin Jepsen were placed on the Bees' temporary inactive list in preparation for the Olympics. RHP David Austin was recalled from the DL in a corresponding move.
- The Angels have promoted Mark Trumbo to AA Arkansas, and accordingly moved OF Adam Morrissey to AAA Salt Lake. Trumbo went 5-for-5 in his AA debut with Arkansas Monday, two of those for homers with three RBIs.
- The Kernels promoted INF Efren Navarro to Rancho; RHP Francis Cabrera and INF Gabe Jacobo also were promoted from Orem to Cedar Rapids.
- Amalio Diaz and Sean O'Sullivan were named Pitchers of the Week for their efforts at Arkansas and Rancho, respectively.
- No Angel or Dodger prospect was named Offensive Player of the Week.
- Mike Napoli might be ready for a rehab assignment with Rancho starting this weekend.
- John Sickels reviewed his preseason top 20 Angels prospects; Brandon Wood still tops the list, but nobody ranks an A.
- Here's the weekly league notebooks.
Scores
Sandoval, F: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 K
Morales: 3-4, 1 RBI
Wood: 1-4, 1 RBI, 2 K
Green: (W, 7-4), 6.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 7 H, 4 K, 2 BB, 4.86 ERA
Bonilla: 2.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 4.98 ERA
Bulger: (S, 12), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 K, 1 BB, 0.58 ERA
Nick Green picked up his third win in his last four starts, though it was only his first quality start since June 19. The Bees continued their recent hot offense with ten hits and four runs, one of them a Sean Rodriguez homer, a leadoff shot in the sixth. Both Rodriguez and Kendry Morales went 3-for-4; it was Morales' first three-hit game since coming back from the DL on July 19.
Brandon Wood extended a 20-game on-base streak that dates back to July 7, and a six game hitting streak in which this was the first game that he only got one hit.
Stavisky: 2-5, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K
Smith, Cor: 1-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 K
Trumbo: 5-5, 1 2B, 2 HR, 3 RBI
Pettit: 2-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K
Wipke: 2-5, 2 2B, 2 K
Greenberg: 2-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Denham: (W, 9-8), 7.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 H, 3 K, 1 BB, 2 HR, 3.74 ERA
Trumbo had a terrific night in his AA debut, going 5-for-5; you can hear the radio call highlights here. The Travs beat up on the Drillers, as Trumbo wasn't the only Arkansas player to homer twice; that distinction also went to Chris Pettit. Corey Smith also homered, a solo shot in the sixth.
The Travs got a quality start plus out of Dan Denham, who got himself the win to take his record to over .500, and his third straight win in his third straight start.
Mount: 2-4, 2 K
Conger: 1-4, 1 RBI
Phillips: 0-4, 1 K
Norman: 0-1, 2 BB, 1 K
Towns: (L, 0-2), 3.0 IP, 4 R, 4 ER, 5 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 1 HR, 5.63 ERA
Albano: 2.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 H, 4 K, 3 BB, 7.11 ERA
Bell: 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 4.72 ERA
San Jose just beat up on starter Jordon Towns, whom they chased after three innings. Reliever Trevor Bell was the only Quakes pitcher to go unscored against, posting a zero frame in the eighth.
Romine: 2-4, 1 BB
Jimenez: 5.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 7 H, 1 K, 4 BB, 4.22 ERA
Calderon: (W, 1-0) (in relief), 3.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 K, 3 BB, 1 HR, 1.88 ERA
McKiernan: (S, 14), 1.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 4.38 ERA
Esmerlin Jimenez snapped his string of three consecutive losses with a no-decision. He was on the hook for a loss as the Kernels were scoreless through eight, but his offense tied the game in the ninth with Clay Fuller's three-run jack.
The eleventh saw a minor-league mistake that occurs just about never in the majors. Following Andrew Romine's one-out single, Whitecaps right fielder fielded the ball and threw to third, where he unsuccessfully tried for an out. That allowed Romine to reach second, setting up an RBI single by Carlos Colmenares, and Jay Brossman's sac fly to give the Kernels the winning edge.
Castillo: 1-3, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K
Bailey: 2-3, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K
Auer: 2-5, 1 K
Taylor: (L, 1-1), 1.0 IP, 8 R, 7 ER, 7 H, 1 K, 1 BB, 2 HR, 6.53 ERA
For the first time this year, the Raptors put good wood to the Owlz, pounding starter Andrew Taylor for eight runs in the first, seven earned thanks to a fielding error by third baseman Jon Townsend on a Travis Vetters grounder. Taylor gave up a single, two doubles, and a two-run homer, and a wild pitch. Chased after one inning, that pretty much set the tone for this game. The Raptors scored in crooked numbers in four of the nine frames, and Orem didn't manage a scoreless inning until the fourth.
Farnsworth: 1-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 4 K
Ramos: 0-4, 4 K
Golliner: 2-4, 1 K
Chatwood: 4.0 IP, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 H, 4 K, 6 BB, 4.61 ERA
Molina, R: (L, 0-2) (in relief), 1.2 IP, 3 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 3 BB, 4.15 ERA
Geltz: 1.1 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 4 K, 0 BB, 3.86 ERA
Hurst: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 H, 3 K, 0 BB, 3.48 ERA
Hu: 1-5, 2 RBI
DeWitt: 1-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 2 K
Chavez, A: 2-4, 1 2B
Paul: 2-2, 1 RBI
LaMura: 5.0 IP, 6 R, 6 ER, 9 H, 5 K, 1 BB, 7.56 ERA
Sierra: 2.0 IP, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 0.00 ERA
Cyr: (BS, 2), 1.0 IP, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 H, 0 K, 0 BB, 1 HR, 8.20 ERA
Sturtze: (L, 1-1) (in relief), 2.0 IP, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 K, 0 BB, 4.09 ERA
A rough-and-tumble battle that saw each side post a five-run inning (the Cubs in the fourth, the 51's in the seventh), the lead changed hands five times. Blake DeWitt hit a two-out, two-run homer off Jose Ascanio to send the game to extras, but the Cubs got those back immediately in the top of the 10th.
Old friend alert: The Cubs employed Koyie Hill at catcher.
May: 0-4, 2 K
