Gorkys Hernandez CF- 0 for 3, 2 BB, SB(15).  BA= .300.
Ali Castillo 2B- 3 for 5.  BA= .500.
Travis Ishikawa 1B- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .231.
Andrew Susac C- 3 for 5.  BA= .243.
Rando Moreno SS- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .295.
Joan Gregorio RHP- 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 5.07.
Steven Okert RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 3.30.
Tyler Rogers RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, ERA= 0.00.

Susac is hitting .297 over his last 10 games.  Okert's ERA is 1.59 over his last 10 appearances.

AA Reading Fightin' Phils outscored the Richmond Flying Squirrels 9-7:

Hunter Cole RF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .263.
Tyler Beede RHP- 4.2 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.57.
Matt Reynolds LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

The Flying Squirrels had 12 hits including 4 doubles, Cole had the only multi-hit game.  Beede sailed through 4 innings before the wheels came off in the 5'th.  The 6 runs were all unearned but that is just a technicality.  Beede did not pitch well as the inning went Walk, HBP, K, E(Hinojosa), K, 1B, PB, HR.  Don't be shocked if we see Matt Reynolds pitching in SF before the season is done.  You may remember him from his stint with the D'Backs?

High A  San Jose Giants beat the Modesto Nuts 5-1:

Ronnie Jebavy CF- 1 for 4, HR(6).  BA= .249.
Jonah Arenado 1B- 1 for 4, HR(10).  BA= .268.
Jose Morel RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.10.
Dusten Knight RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.79.

I think this was Morel's first start as a pro, and what a start it was!  Something to watch going forward.

Low A Augusta Greenjackets dumped the Hickory Crawdads 6-2:

Dillon Dobson 1B- 2 for 4, HR(9).  BA= .278.
Johneshwy Fargas CF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .267.
Michael Connolly RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 2.79.
Carlos Alvarado RHP- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(3).  ERA= 0.00.
Dillon Tate(Crawdads)- 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.40.

Another strong start from Connolly.  You may remember Tate as a hard throwing former first round draft pick out of UCSB.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Vancouver Canadians 6-4:

Ashford Fulmer CF- 3 for 4, BB.  BA= .388.
Bryan Reynolds DH- 3 for 4, 2B, BB. BA= .316.
Ryan Howard 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .262.
Zach Bowers C- 3 for 4, 2B.  BA= .250.
Kevin Rivera 2B- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .313.
Cesar Yanez RHP- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 0.84.

Reynolds went 0 for 8 in his first 2 games but recovered quickly and has his BA over .300.  Still driving the Cesar Yanez bandwagon.
