Down on the Farm: 4/15/2022

AAA:  Sacramento River Cats topped the Reno Aces 4-3:

Wyatt Mathisen 3B- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .143.
Austin Dean RF- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .179.
Raynel Espinal RHP- 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 0.00.
Taylor Williams RHP- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K.  ERA= 9.64.

Mathisen and Dean are reclamation projects who have struggled in opening week.  Espinal has 13 K's in 7.1 IP in two starts.  I think he will help the Giants as some point.  Williams recovers from a disaster appearance on 4/10.

AA:  Altoona Curve downed the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-1:

Will Wilson 3B- 1 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .304.  
Kai-Wei Teng RHP- 4.2 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 6 K's.  ERA= 1.86.  
Frank Rubio RHP- 2.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 1.69.

Wilson's HR came in the 9'th inning of a game that was out of reach.  Reports on Twitter that Teng had some trouble with pitch clock rules, but so did Curve batter Nick Gonzalez.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds blanked the Spokane Indians 1-0:

Ghordy Santos CF/3B- 1 for 3, HR(1), BB.  BA= .400.
Kyle Harrison LHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Santos HR was a walk-off in the 9'th inning.  It was just the 3'rd hit of the game for the Ems.  Kyle Harrison is on fire!  Second straight scoreless start with 16 K's in 9 IP with just 1 BB.

A:  Fresno Grizzlies shut down the San Jose Giants 3-0:

Will Bednar RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.35.
Seth Lonsway LHP- 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.00.

Twitter reports Bednar looked much better in his second start.  FB 93-95 with excellent slider and much better command of his pitches.
