Down on the Farm: 8/1/2018

AAA  Sacramento River Cats defeated the Memphis Redbirds 6-3:

Gregor Blanco CF- 3 for 4, 2B, BB.  BA= .256.
Shaun Anderson RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 11/4.  ERA= 5.00.

Shaun Anderson is a horse, but more in an innings-eating sort of way.  His last start of 2017, which I saw in person, was dominant.  He hasn't really shown that kind of dominance this year... but he is a hoss!

Randy Norris LF- 2 for 5, BB.  BA= .274.
Alexander Canario CF- 2 for 6, HR(4).  BA= .279.

Aneudy Acosta RHP- 2.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.50.

Alexander Canario hit .333 for the month of July. Giants are developing a bit of a logjam at 3B in the lower minors with David Villar, Jacob Gonzalez and Sean Roby.  BTW, that is a good problem to have.

DSL  Royals2 overcame the Giants 15-12:

Ghordy Santos SS- 1 for 3, 3 BB, SB(16).  BA= .162.
Luis Toribio 3B- 1 for 6, HR(8).  BA= .283.

Robinson Batista is 4 for 7 with 2 dingers in his last 2 games.  Luis Toribio is tied for the league lead in HR's.  Not sure where to find historical DSL stats but 8 HR's is the most I can remember from a DSL Giants player.
