Shelby Miller RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 3.42.

Landon Roupp RHP- 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 7 K's, GO/AO= 6.1.  ERA= 4.50.

Landon Roupp has had a tremendous season and appears to be on track to be the first pitcher from the 2021 draft class to reach the majors.

Nick Zwack LHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 4 BB, 8 K's.  ERA= 4.91.

Evan Gates RHP- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 2.78.

Gates is NDFA from 2021 who has very quietly had a tremendous season across two levels.

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

A:  San Jose Giants outscored the Modesto Nuts 6-5.

Hayden Cantrelle 2B- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .287.

Aeverson Arteaga SS- 2 for 4, 2 2B, BB.  BA= .263.

Alexander Suarez CF- 2 for 4.  BA= .232.

Manuel Mercedes RHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 5.79.

Arteaga has had a remarkably consistent season.  He has impressively withstood the rigors of full season ball at age 19.

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

Complex Watch:  ACL Giants Black beat the ACL Rockies 4-1.

Wade Meckler CF- 2 for 4, SB.

Patrick Hilson LF- 2 for 3, 2B, HBP. 

Nomar Medina LHP- 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K's. 

I did not notice the change in opponents.  Giants Black vs Rangers was a one game series.  Giants Black even series against Rockies at 1-1.  Nomar Medina is one of several international prospect names to emerge as serious pitching prospects this season.
