Down on the Farm: 6/1/2018

AAA  Sacramento River Cats pounded the El Paso Chihuahuas 8-1:

Eury Perez RF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .338.
Ryder Jones 3B- 1 for 4, HR(4), SF.  BA= .292.
Caleb Gindl LF- 3 for 4, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .297.
Ryan Hanigan C- 2 for 5.  BA= .375.
Orlando Calixte SS- 2 for 4.  BA= .274.
Tyler Beede RHP- 6 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 5.60.
Ray Black RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 5.19.

Ryder Jones is quietly having a strong season for Sacramento.  The walks are still there, but Tyler Beede's start was otherwise much better than what we've seen recently.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels outlasted the Reading Fightin' Phils 7-6 in 10 innings:

Luigi Rodriguez RF- 1 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .400.

A+  San Jose Giants blanked the Modesto Nuts 4-0:

CJ Hinojosa DH- 1 for 3, 2B.  BA= .500.
Stetson Woods RHP- 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Norwith Gudino RHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

A couple new names in the boxscores, at least for this year.  Woods and Gudino have successful debuts for SJ.  Not sure if they are replacing injured players or if someone got promoted or bumped down.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets topped the Lexington Legends 4-3(Game 1 of DH, 7 innings):

Manuel Geraldo SS- 1 for 3, HR(8).  BA= .331.
Ryan Kirby 1B- 2 for 3, 2B, HR(8).  BA= .224.
Nick Hill LF- 1 for 3, 2B, SB(5).  BA= .338.
Garrett Cave RHP- 6.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 3.32.

Wow!  Manuel Geraldo muscles up again and hits his 5'th dinger in 10 games!  I've been high on Geraldo for a long time, but I never imagined him to be capable of hitting 5 HR's in a 10 game stretch like this.  This was Garrett Cave's strongest start of the season.
