Down on the Farm: 8/14/2025

AAA:  Round Rock Express edged out the Sacramento River Cats 3-2.

Wade Meckler CF- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .264.

Marco Luciano LF- 1 for 4, 2B.  BA= .221.

Hayden Birdsong RHP- 4 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 3 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 4.96.

AA:  Altoona Curve defeated the Richmond Flying Squirrels 6-1.

Dayson Croes DH- 3 for 4, HR(1).  BA= .429.

John Bertrand LHP- 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 2.78.

Jack Choate LHP- 1.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 3.32.

A+:  Eugene Emeralds blanked the Tri-Cities Dust Devils 3-0.

Jonah Cox CF- 2 for 4, SB(49).  BA= .247.

Zane Zielinski SS- 2 for 4, SB(30).  BA= .240.

Damian Bravo LF- 1 for 3, SF.  BA= .344.

Cesar Perdomo LHP- 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K's.  ERA= 3.89.

Austin Strickland RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 4.34.

Perdomo's strongest start of the season.  He is Rule 5 Draft eligible.  One of those situations where there probably is not room on the 40-man roster to protect him but he could be an intriguing target for a more pitching-poor team.

A:  Lake Elsinore Storm topped the San Jose Giants 4-2.

Gavin Kilen 2B- 1 for 3, BB.  BA= .216.

Lisbel Diaz LF- 2 for 4, 2B, SB(19).  BA= .268.

Juan Perez C- 2 for 4.  BA= .187.

Carlos De La Torre LHP- 5 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 1.50.

DSL:  Blue Jays Red beat Giants Orange 5-3.

Josuar Gonzalez SS(17 yo)- 2 for 3, 2 BB, 3 SB(30).  BA= .279.

Yohendry Sanchez C(18 yo)- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .272.

Albert Jimenez DH(18 yo)- 1 for 3, 2 BB.  BA= .259.

Frainer Mejias RHP(19 yo)- 3.1 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 4.01.

Mario Gonzalez RHP(18 yo)- 2 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 6.30.

Not sure how the #2 hitter in the lineup can reach base 4 times and steal 3 bases and end up not figuring into the scoring. Josuar should feel right at home with the Giants MLB team.

DSL:  Pirates Black outscored Giants Orange 4-2.

Anthony Marquez SS(18 yo)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .266.

Yulian Barreto 2B(17 yo)- 1 for 3, BB. BA= .321.
