AAA The entire PCL was idle last night.
AA Richmond Flying Squirrels beat the New Britain Rock Cats 5-3:
Thomas Neal- 2 for 5, 2B. BA= .227.
Roger Kieschnick- 3 for 5, SB(1). BA= .288.
Craig Clark- 5 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K's. ERA= 3.20.
Andy Sisco- 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.68.
Tony Pena- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K. ERA= 0.75.
Nice to see Kieschnick's BA get up into the high .200's. Sisco is the huge LHP who seems to have settled down a bit. Pena is the converted MLB shortstop and has been impressive so far.
High A Stockton Ports blanked the San Jose Giants 3-0:
Francisco Peguero- 3 for 4. BA= .250.
Brandon Belt- 1 for 2, 2 BB, SB(7).
Eric Surkamp- 6 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 2.35.
Surkamp had a quality start in a losing cause. Good experience for the Giants MLB club! Belt's triple slash stands at .414/.493/.672.
Low A Hagerstown Suns broke out for 6 runs in the 7'th inning to defeat the Augusta Greenjackets 7-2:
Zack Wheeler- 4.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 8/1.
Really nothing to see on offense. Wheeler continues to take baby steps.
Around the minors: Chris Tillman, who had a rough spring and lost a possible starting gig with Baltimore pitched a 9 inning no-hitter for the Norfolk Tides. He was a walk and error away from a perfecto. One of the baserunners was erased on a DP. The O's are setting up for a future rotation somewhat like the Giants with Matusz, Tillman and Arrieta as the anchors.

Wow, I knew Belt had power, but 7 SB!
ReplyDeleteMatusz, I think, belongs up there rotation-wise, but Tillman and Arrieta are not up to that standard, I think.
I liked Sisco a while back when he was at KC, I wonder if Affeldt had any hand in getting him to our org, I think they were teammates at KC before.
Yes, baby steps for Wheeler, but WOW, look at that G/A ratio! High K with high GB bodes well, right?
I thought I noticed in the box score that Peguera played first, Belt in right, and Culberson in CF. Was this a typo?

Belt played 1B, Peguero CF and Culberson 2B.
