Down on the Farm: 4/9/2018

AAA  Sacramento River Cats edged out the Tacoma Rainiers 3-2 in 7 innings, the first game of a DH:

Steven Duggar CF- 2 for 4.  BA= .188.
Chris Heston RHP- 3.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.70
DJ Snelton LHP- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 1 K. ERA= 8.10.
Derek Law RHP- 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 0 K, Save(1).  ERA= 3.00.

Not much to say here.  Hopefully this gets Duggar out of his funk.

AAA  Sacramento River Cats outscored the Tacoma Rainiers 6-5 in 7 innings, the second game of a DH:

Mac Williamson RF- 3 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .636.
Hector Sanchez C- 2 for 3.  BA= .429.
Dereck Rodriguez RHP- 3.2 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 9.82.
Madison Younger RHP- 3.1 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.23.

Mac continues to kill it for the River Cats.  Not hard to imagine him getting a callup if the Giants in general and Hunter Pence in particular continue to struggle offensively.

Carlos Diaz LHP- 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 0.00.

Miller jumps his BA all the way to .333.  Pretty dominant start for Raffi Vizcaino in a tough place to pitch.

John Russell RHP- 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 0.00.

Heliot Ramos got the night off while Jacob Gonzalez DH'd.  Nice start for Marciano.  Camilo Doval might not be ready for this level?
