Down on the Farm: 5/3/2014

AAA  Fresno Grizzlies defeated the Albuquerque Isotopes 6-4:

Gary Brown(CF)- 3 for 5.  BA= .294.
Joe Panik(2B)- 3 for 5, SB(1).  BA= .325.
Chris Dominguez(LF-1B)- 1 for 4, 3B.  BA= .253
Jason Berken(RHP)- 7 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 2 ER, 5 BB, GO/AO= 10/4.  ERA= 2.25.
Heath Hembree(RHP)- 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(6).  ERA= 1.69.

Brown and Panik are cranking out multi-hit games on a semi-regular basis at the top of the Fresno order.  Berken looks like he could be ready for an emergency callup if needed.  With Huff coming back soon and the way the MLB staff is performing, it looks like he won't be needed(keeps fingers crossed). Hembree gets the 1 batter Save.

AA  Trenton Thunder beat the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-4:

Kyle Crick(RHP)- 3 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.60.
Austin Fleet(RHP)- 4 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.00.

Cricky is still scuffling with his control.

High A  San Jose Giants edged the Lancaster Jethawks 5-4:

Jesus Galindo(CF)- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .322.
Shawn Payne(DH)- 2 for 4, 2B, SB(3).  BA= .467.
Ben Turner(Catcher)- 2 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .276.
Chris Stratton(RHP)- 6.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 1 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 12/3.  ERA= 4.83.
Steven Okert(LHP)- 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K, Save(6).  ERA= 1.23.

Much better start for Stratton than his last one.  Let's see if he can build on this.

Low A  Augusta Greenjackets stopped the Greeneville Drive 4-2:

Brandon Bednar(DH)- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .286.
Tyler Horan(RF)- 1 for 3, HR(2), BB.  BA= .322.
Ryan Tuntland(1B)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .205.
Matt Lujan(LHP)- 6.1 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 1.74.
Ray Black(RHP)- 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.50.

Ray Black comes off the DL and was reportedly throwing 94-97 MPH.
