Down on the Farm: 6/24/2019

AAA  Las Vegas Aviators strafed the Sacramento River Cats 15-6:

Joey Rickard CF- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .250.
Chris Shaw 1B- 1 for 3, HR(5), BB.  BA= .278.
Zach Green 3B- 1 for 4, HR(15).  BA= .306.
Francisco Pena DH- 2 for 4, HR(7).  BA= .331.

Gustave, Bergen and Rogers all pitched scoreless innings over the last 3 frames, but it was too little too late.

AA  Altoona Curve defeated the Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-2:

Brett Austin C- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .077.
Ryan Halstead RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.54.

Austin is a newcomer apparently signed as a minor league FA.  Last played affiliated ball in 2018.  Is Ryan Halstead's first pro start?  Is this a one-off or are the Giants converting him from relieving.

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

A+  Modesto Nuts smothered the San Jose Giants 11-2:

Mac Marshall LHP- 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Good to see Mac Marshall's name back in the boxscores.  Hopefully he's healthy and can find some traction on his career.

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

A  Augusta Greenjackets stung the Asheville Tourists 5-2:

Jacob Gonzalez 3B-  2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= .236.
Adam Oller RHP- 5.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 4 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 4.66.

Jacob Gonzalez is 5 for 12 over his last 3 games.

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

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Everett Aquasox 13-3:

Jeff Houghtby 3B- 3 for 4, 2B, HR(1).  BA= .257.
Sean Roby DH- 3 for 5, HR(1).  BA= .347.
Franklin Labour RF- 1 for 5, HR(5).  BA= .295.
Ricardo Genoves C- 2 for 5, 2 HR(4).  BA= .265.
Tyler Flores 1B- 2 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .270.
Kwan Adkins LF- 2 for 5, 2B.  BA= .244.
Kervin Castro RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 1.20.

6 HR's in the game for the Volcanoes.  Is Ricardo Genoves finally breaking out?  Another terrific start for Curvin' Kervin Castro.

Rookie AZL  Giants Black obliterated the A's Gold 10-2:

Bryan Hernandez CF- 2 for 4, 2B, BB, SB(1).  BA= .400.
Armani Smith RF- 2 for 3, 3B, BB, SB(1).  BA= .667.
Dilan Rosario SS- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .200.
Sandro Fabian LF- 2 for 4, 2 HR(2).  BA= .211.
Ivan Armstrong RHP- 4 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 6.14.
Jose Cruz RHP- 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 4.05.

Dylan Hernandez is one if my sleepers in the system.  I assume Sandro Fabian is rehabbing.

Rodolfo Martinez RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Alexander Canario showing some toonder off his bat!
