Down on the Farm: 8/9/2018

AAA  Sacramento River Cats edged out the El Paso Chihuahuas 2-1:

Peter Bourjos CF- 2 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .305.
Myles Schroder 1B- 1 for 4, HR(9).  BA= .264.

Tyler Rogers RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K, Save(1).  ERA= 1.83.

Dominant Start for Chris Stratton.  Do you bring him back and see if whatever he found works at the MLB level for his next start?  Hunter Strickland seems close to ready to return from the DL.  Tyler Rogers should get some MLB looks in September if the Giants drop out of the pennant race as expected.
