Down on the Farm: 5/19/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats survived the Fresno Grizzlies 4-3(7 innings, Game 1 of DH):

Mike Yastrzemski LF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .333.
Mike Gerber CF- 2 for 4.  BA= .325.
Austin Slater 1B- 2 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .319.
Abiatal Avelino SS- 3 for 3, 2 2B.  BA= .273.
Tyler Beede RHP- 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 2.60
Sam Selman LHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 1.84.
Tyler Rogers RHP- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K.  ERA= 2.70.

Typical Beede start.  He's got to do better than that.  Giants are desperate enough for SP's.  I wonder if they would consider stretching out Sam Selman?  Tyler Rogers might make an interesting "opener" when the scheduled long man is a LHP.
