AAA  Las Vegas 51's pounded the Sacramento River Cats 12-4:

Conor Gillaspie 1B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .222.
Ryder Jones 3B/1B- 2 for 3, HR(9), BB.  BA= .291.

Dusten Knight RHP- 4 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.00.

-So who gets called up if Nunez hits the DL?  Arroyo got hit on the hand.  Not sure where he is in recovering from that.  Gillaspie?  Ryder Jones?  Hwang?  Ruggy?  Mac?
-I believe this was Dusten Knight's first pro start.

SS  Tri-City Dust Devils outscored the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 10-4:

Robinson Medrano LF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .500.
Manuel Geraldo SS- 2 for 2, BB, Sac, 2 SB(2).  BA= 1.000.
Byron Murray 3B- 2 for 4, 2B. BA= .500.
Stetson Woods RHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Logan Webb RHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 9.00.

-Stetson Woods might have been my favorite draft pick from 2014.  He got off to a promising start that summer in Arizona, but after 2 awful seasons in 2015 and 2016, I wrote him off as a prospect. He returns this season as the Opening Day starter for S-K and throws down 6 shutout innings.  Gotta be a story here somewhere!  He is 22 yo now and from is bio pic, look…..a bit different.  Timmy hair!
