AAA Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Sacramento River Cats 7-4:

Ben Turner(DH)- 3 for 4.  BA= .321.
Trevor Brown(Catcher)- 1 for 2, 2 BB.  BA= .282.
Ty Blach(LHP)- 5 IP, 9 H, 6 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.51.
Steven Okert(LHP)- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.24.

AA  New Hampshire Fisher Cats blanked the Richmond Flying Squirrels 2-0:

Rando Moreno(SS)- 2 for 4,  SB(10).  BA= .286.
Edwin Quirarte(RHP)- 6 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 10/3.  ERA= 3.54.
Pedro Rodriguez(RHP)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 2.56.
Kyle Crick(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.77.

Crick used 30 pitches in the one inning, but pitched his way out of the jam, which I think is a good thing.

Rookie AZL  Giants routed the Rangers 7-0:

Ashford Fulmer(RF)- 2 for 4, 3B, HBP.  BA= .268.
Dillon Dobson(1B)- 3 for 5.  BA= .312.
Mikey Edie(CF)- 2 for 4, HBP.  BA= .266.
Byron Murray(LF)- 1 for 3, 2B, BB, SF.  BA= .284.
Phil Bickford(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.45.
Dominic Mazza(LHP)- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.13.
Dylan Brooks(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.20.
Kendry Melo(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.00.

Giants are taking it very slow with Bickford.  I assume he is working on things.  Mazza was an 18'th round 2015 draft pick out of UCSB.
