Down on the Farm: 8/14/2018

AAA  Sacramento River Cats trumped the Reno Aces 9-1:

Kelby Tomlinson 2B- 2 for 5.  BA= .303.
Ryder Jones 3B- 2 for 4, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .281.
Ronnie Freeman C- 3 for 5, 3B.  BA= .244.
Orlando Calixte SS- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .267.
Chris Stratton RHP- 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 2 K's, GO/AO= 7/3.  ERA= 3.00.
Hunter Strickland RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Josh Osich LHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.35.

Stratton has allowed just 3 ER in 19 IP over his last 3 AAA Starts.  He has 1 bad MLB start mixed in, though.  We'll see when he gets his next MLB shot.  Strick seems ready as soon as he is eligible to come off the 60 day DL.  Let's hope he comes back feeling like he has something to prove, especially in the maturity department.
