Yoanys Quiala RHP- 7 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 5.34.

Steven Duggar starts a rehab assignment.  Gerber and Green keep mashing.  This was Quiala's best start of the season by a wide margin.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels blanked the Hartford Yard Goats 4-0:

Bryce Johnson RF- 2 for 3, SF.  BA= .438.
Peter Maris 3B/SS- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .400.
Jalen Miller 2B- 2 for 4, 3B.  BA= .218.

Chase Johnson RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, GO/AO= 5/1.  ERA= 5.03.

Peter Maris and Bryce Johnson inject some life into the Squirrels offense after promotion from SJ. This was Garrett Williams' 4'th start out of 5 in which he pitched at least 5 scoreless innings. Again, this was by far his best start of the season. Chase Johnson's ERA is 2.12 over his last 10 games.

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

A+ Stockton Ports outlasted the San Jose Giants 8-6(10 innings):

Brandon Van Horn 3B- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .354.
Heath Quinn RF- 2 for 4, BB.  BA= .188.
Courtney Hawkins LF- 2 for 4, 2B, SF.  BA= .252.

Heliot Ramos had an OF assist at 3B.  Joey Bart got the night off.

A Augusta Greenjackets stung the Lexington Legends 4-1:

Diego Rincones RF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .289.
Adam Oller RHP- 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 3.55.
Ryan Walker RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.11.
Jesus Tona RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's, Save(13).  ERA= 1.32.

Best Starts of the season is a theme here as Adam Oller turned one in too.

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

Short Season  Boise Hawks topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 4-2:

Harrison Freed LF- 2 for 4, 2 2B.  BA= 267.
Ricardo Genoves C- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .286.
Kwan Adkins CF- 1 for 3, BB, SB(4).  BA= .258.
Andy Rohloff RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

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

Rookie AZL  Dodgers Lasorda doubled up the Giants Black 8-4:

Carter Aldrete 2B- 1 for 2, 2B, 2 BB.  BA= .308.
Matt Malkin C- 1 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .296.
Dilan Rosario SS- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .161.
Ivan Armstrong RHP- 4 IP, 7 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 4.76.

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

Rookie AZL  Giants Orange crushed the Dodgers Mota 9-3:

Alexander Canario CF- 1 for 4, HR(7).  BA= .395.
Marco Luciano SS- 2 for 5, HR(4).  BA= .333.
Abdiel Layer 3B- 1 for 3, HR(1), BB. BA= .200.
Patrick Hilson RF/CF- 1 for 4, HR(2).  BA= .162.
Javeyon Williams LF- 2 for 3, 2B.  BA= .345.
Jesus Gomez LHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 6.30.
Jordan Scott RHP- 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 5 K's. ERA= 0.96.
Rodolfo Martinez RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Prospect hounds at MCC say reason Canario is in Arizona is he is rehabbing an injury.  That's the first I've heard that definitely said.  If you are not irrationally exuberant about Marco Luciano, you probably should not be reading this.  Could he move up before the end of the season?

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

DSL  Pirates2 dominated the Giants 6-0:

Rayner Santana C(16 yo)- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .321.
Jason Bonilla RHP(20 yo)- 4 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 2.35.

Seems like our friend ogc is dealing with some tough times right now and taking a break from his blog linked to the left.  I have a feeling he'll be posting more than he is saying, but I wish him the best in any case.  I don't always agree with ogc, but I respect that he was a lone voice cheerleading for Brian Sabean in the late aughts when most internet commenters were calling for Sabes to be fired.  ogc is relentless which is why it's a bit of a surprise to see him pack it in and why I suspect he will continue posting at roughly the same rate he has in the past, but I guess we all have our limits.

I sometimes would have to give him timeouts on comments here just because this is my blog, darn it, and I wasn't going to let him take over!  Hope he's not too sore about that and again, I wish him the best.
