Down on the Farm: 4/20/2018

AAA  Salt Lake City Bees stung the Sacramento River Cats 4-3:

Eury Perez CF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .375.
Chase d'Arnaud SS- 1 for 3, HR(3), SB(2), BB.  BA= .295.
Tyler Beede RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 3 BB, 7 K's. ERA= 6.00.
Will Smith LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA= 0.00.

Typical Beede line.  Most of the damage came on a 3-run dinger by Jabari Blash.  In addition to the walks, 2 HBP's led to 2 runs for the Bees which proved to be the difference in the game.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels defeated the Altoona Curve 6-3:

Ryan Howard SS- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .327.
Miguel Gomez 2B- 2 for 4.  BA= .290.
Aramis Garcia C- 1 for 4, HR(1). BA= .265.
Dylan Davis LF- 2 for 4, 2B, HR(3).  BA= .267.
Garrett Williams LHP- 2.1 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.56.
Dusten Knight RHP- 3.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.56.
Mike Connolly RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.
Caleb Simpson RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(4).  ERA= 0.00.

Not much to say about this one.  Can Ryan Howard go wire-to-wire with a .300+ BA again this year?

A+  San Jose Giants outscored the Modesto Nuts 9-8:

Bryce Johnson CF- 2 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .270.
Heath Quinn LF- 3 for 5, 2 2B.  BA= .283.
Wander Franco 3B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .250.
Matt Winn C- 1 for 4, HR(1), BB.  BA= .219.
Johneshwy Fargas RF- 3 for 5, 2B, SB(2).  BA= .278.
Melvin Adon RHP- 4 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 5.30.
Connor Overton 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Nice game to pad the stat line.  Great to see Heath Quinn hitting well early this season.  Does Johneshwy finally get over the SJ hump?  Overton is a newbie to the organization. Don't know much about him.  Looks like he pitched sparingly in the Blue Jays organization in the past.

Low A  Rome Braves topped the Augusta Greenjackets 5-4:

Heliot Ramos CF- 1 for 2, 2B.  BA= .259.
Jean Angomas DH- 1 for 3, 3B, BB.  BA= .273.
Joey Marciano LHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 11 K's.  ERA= 1.06.

Ramos was lifted for a PR after a HBP in the 5'th inning.  Hopefully no serious injury. Ugh!
