AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Memphis Redbirds 4-2:

Jarrett Parker RF- 3 for 4, 2 HR(12).  BA= .239.
Ty Blach LHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.57.
Alex Torres LHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.35.

Parker stays hot.  Blach has a 1.98 ERA over his last 5 starts spanning 30.2 IP.  Alex Torres is the dude who used to pitch for San Diego and wore the hard lining under his cap.  I think he pitched for the Mets last year.

AA  Altoona Curve beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-2:

Myles Schroder LF- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .264.

Jake Smith RHP- 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.17.

This was Beede's first official QS of the season(he's given up fewer runs in 5 IP several times).  He has a 2.25 ERA over his last 3 starts spanning 16 IP.

Low A Greenville Drive outscored the Augusta Greenjackets 11-10:

Lucius Fox SS- 3 for 5, 2B, 3B, BB.  BA= .240.
Dylan Davis DH- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .295.
Miguel Gomez 1B- 2 for 5, HR(3).  BA= .333.
Beltre(.225), Cabrera(.259), Angomas(.222)- 2 hits each.
Michael Connolly RHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.05.

I've said that hitting .220 or better for Lucius Fox would be a successful pro debut.  He's doing better than that so far.
