A+  San Jose Giants crushed the Inland Empire 66'ers 7-1(7 innings, Game 2 of DH):

Randy Norris RF- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .333.
Peter Maris DH- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .600.
Fabian Pena C- 1 for 2, HR(2), BB.  BA= .333.
David Villar 3B- 1 for 2, HR(2), BB.  BA= .231.
John Gavin LHP- 5 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 3.76.
Camilo Doval RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 5.21.

Randy Norris makes his 2019 debut.  I missed Fabian Pena's 2019 debut.  He's already hit 2 HR's in his first 3 games.  Hopefully David Villar's HR's in both games of the DH will jumpstart his season after missing time with an injury.

*********************************************************************************

A  Columbia Fireflies beat the Augusta Greenjackets 5-3:

Ismael Munguia LF- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .316.
Shane Matheny 2B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .241.
Diego Rincones DH- 2 for 4.  BA= .276
Mikey Edie RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .196.
Jake Wong RHP- 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 1.99.
Franklin Van Gurp RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.38.

This was Jake Wong's 5'th consecutive QS, 6 innings each, 3 scoreless, 2 hitless, 23 K's, 7 BB's in 30
IP.  Diego Rincones is hitting .389 over his last 10 games.

*********************************************************************************

The Giants traded C Eric Kratz to the Tampa Bay Rays for a PTBNL or cash.  They sent cash to the Rays to pay Kratz salary, so it would seem logical to expect a player in return down the road, unless they are planning to just hand cash back and forth.  Aramis Garcia was optioned back to Sacramento which means Buster Posey is coming off the DL on schedule and will likely start the first game of the D'Backs series.
