Down on the Farm: 6/1/2019

AAA  Sacramento River Cats downed the Las Vegas Aviators 7-5:

Mike Gerber CF- 2 for 3, HR(12), BB.  BA= .349.
Austin Slater LF- 1 for 4, HR(10).  BA= .308.
Ryan Howard 2B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .250.
Abiatal Avelino SS- 2 for 3, HR(4), Sac.  BA= .289.
Levi Michael 3B- 1 for 4, HR(6).  BA= .253.
Sam Selman LHP- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 2.49.
Ray Black RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.91.
Jandel Gustave RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.15.

I'm thinking all 3 of these relievers have a shot at pitching in SF before the season is over.  Sam Selman in particular has put up impressive numbers from the south side of the mound in a very challenging pitching environment.

AA  Reading Fightin' Phils edged out the Richmond Flying Squirrels 2-1(7 innings, Game 1 of DH):

Garrett Wiliams LHP- 5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 5 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 5.18.
Adonis Medina RHP(Reading)- 5.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 3 K's, GO/AO= 3.92.

Garrett Williams still struggling with walks.  I wonder how many scouts the Giants had watching Adonis Medina today?  He's been mentioned as a possible return piece in a potential Madison Bumgarner trade with the Phillies.
