Down on the Farm: 6/3/2017

AAA  Sacramento River Cats buried the Albuquerque Isotopes 13-1:

Wynton Bernard CF- 2 for 6, 2B.  BA= .207.
Jae-Gyun Hwang 1B- 3 for 5, 2B, BB, SB(4).  BA= .287.
Mac Williamson RF- 2 for 5, 2 HR(6).  BA= .261.
Tim Federowicz C- 5 for 5, 2B, 2 HR(3).  BA= .356.
Ali Castillo SS- 1 for 4, HR(1), BB.  BA= .267.
Chris Stratton RHP- 7 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K, GO/AO= 11/2.  ERA= 5.93.
Dusten Knight RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 2 K.  ERA= 2.50.

*Hwang is hitting .326 over his last 10 games and is 7 for 16 over his last 3.  Seems like the Giants really need to see what he can do at the MLB level, but what's up with him playing 1B?
*Hopefully this game helps Mac find some traction.
*I've liked Fedex all the way back to his college days at UNC.  Anybody else think he might have a decent MLB career if he ever go regular AB's?
*I said Stratton was done after his last start, then he comes up with a line like this, in Albuquerque no less, which makes it all the more impressive.

Andrew Suarez LHP- 7 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.98.

Sandro Cabrera LHP- 3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.28.

DSL  Reds beat the Giants 7-5:

Ismael Alcantara 1B- 2 for 3.  BA= .667.
Ghordy Santos SS- 1 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .250.

Tough to sort out DSL games, especially early in the season.  Alcantara was the only Giant with more than 1 hit.  Giants were limited to $300 K signing bonus in the 2016 signing period.  Alcantara and Santos both got the limit.
