Josh Osich(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Duvall's PH HR was a grand slam.  Rough place to pitch, Las Vegas.

AA  Game 1  New Britain Rock Cats blanked the Richmond Flying Squirrels 1-0 in a suspended game completed today:

Matt Lujan(LHP)- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.32.
Joe Biagini(RHP)- 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 4/0.  ERA= 2.01.
Tyler Mizenko(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.93.

Lujan was 1/3 of the way to a perfecto when the rains came.  Biagini started the resumption of the contest today.

AA  Game 2  Richmond Flying Squirrels edged out the New Britain Rock Cats 2-1 in a 7 inning game:

Rando Moreno(SS)- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .296.
Adalberto Mejia(LHP)- 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K, GO/AO= 12/4.  ERA= 1.52.
Derek Law(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 2.25.

Since a start that lasted just 2.2 IP on June 11, Mejia has allowed just 2 ER in 17 IP over 3 subsequent starts with 7 K's against just 1 BB.  He also has a GO/AO of 1.61 so far this season despite a career mark of 0.89.

High A  San Jose Giants were idle.

Low A Augusta Greenjackets smothered the Rome Braves 4-0:

Johneshwy Fargas(CF)- 2 for 4, SB(34).  BA= .301.
Will Callaway(3B)- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .266.
Mark Reyes(LHP)- 6.2 IP,  4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.46.
Raymundo Montero(RHP)- 2.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K's.  ERA= 1.78.

Not sure I like Callaway playing 3B here as Jonah Arenado played 1B in this game.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Spokane Indians 7-5:

Chase Compton(DH)- 4 for 5, 2B, SB(1).  BA= .346.
CJ Hinojosa(SS)- 1 for 3, 2B, HBP.  BA= .263.
Julio Pena(LF)- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .231.
Logan Webb(RHP)- 5 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's, GO/AO= 6/1.  ERA= 6.43.

Rookie AZL Giants were idle.

*********************************************************************************

DSL  Giants pounded the Orioles2 9-2:

Robinson Medrano(1B, 19 yo)- 2 for 5.  BA= .347.
Manuel Geraldo(2B, 18 yo)- 2 for 4.  BA= .343.
Andres Angulo(Catcher, 17 yo)- 2 for 3, BB, SB(3).  BA= .333.
Victor Concepcion(RHP, 18 yo)- 6 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 0.49.

Seems like Concepcion should not be in the DSL.  Likewise Geraldo.  But 19 yo is no impossibly old for a prospect in the AZL.

*********************************************************************************

If Fangraphs was picking the All-Star teams, the Giants would have 3 members of the starting lineup plus 1 pitcher:  Buster Posey, Joe Panik, Brandon Crawford and Madison Bumgarner.
