Rochester vs. Syracuse – PPD
With temperatures expected to plunge into the 30s by gametime, this one was called off early yesterday afternoon and tacked on to Saturday’s 1:05 p.m. start for a doubleheader. Today’s 1:05 p.m. gametime temperature is forecast for a balmy 43° – beach weather (for penguins)!

Hartford 7 Harrisburg 3
• Herrera (L, 1-1) 5IP, 8H, 5R, 4ER, 2BB, 2K, 2HR
• Klemmer 2IP, 2H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Gushue 2-5, 2B
• Harrison 1-2, R, 2BB, RBI
• 0-6 CS-SB

Hartford broke open a 2-1 game with a pair of homers in the 3rd en route to a 7-3 win in the series opener. Ronald Herrera took the brunt of it—and the loss, natch—with five runs allowed (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over five innings. The Senators gaveled out nine hits, led by Taylor Gushue and Jacob Rhinesmith (both 2-for-5), and drew four walks: two each by K.J. Harrison and Justin Connell. Roster moves: RHP Reid Schaller activated from 7-Day I.L.

Hudson Vallaey 5 Wilmington 3 – GAME ONE
• Parker 2⅔ IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 6BB, 5K, 72-39 PIT-K
• Chu (L, 0-2) 1⅓ IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, 1BB, 0K, PO @ 1B
• Baker 2-4, R, 2-2B, RBI
• Mendoza 1-3, 2RBI

The Blue Rocks briefly led this one 3-2 before an RBI triple and a two-run HR off in the bottom of the 5th stood up for a 5-3 Renegades win. Mitchell Parker didn’t make it out of the 3rd, having thrown 72 pitches while walking six and striking out five. He let in two runs on one hit over two and 2/3rds. The loss went to Gilberto Chu, who allowed a walk and an RBI triple ahead of the Tyler Yankosky giving up a two-run HR. Darren Baker doubled twice, driving in a run and scoring ahead of Drew Mendoza’s two-run single during Wilmington’s three-run top of the 5th. Wilmington was limited to five hits total and was unable to cash in on six walks drawn, going 1-for-9 with RISP.

Hudson Valley 3 Wilmington 2 – GAME TWO
• Cuevas (L, 0-2) 5IP, 3H, 2R, 1ER, 3BB, 4K, HBP, 2WP
• Baker 3-4, 2B, 2RBI
• Vega 2-3, R

Wilmington never led in this one as Hudson Valley started a picket fence in the 4th through the 6th and the Blue Rocks could only match them with single runs in the 6th and 7th for a 3-2 loss and a doubleheader sweep. Starter Michael Cuevas lost for the second time, with two runs (one earned) let in on three hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out four, hit a batter, and threw two wild pitches. Darren Baker doubled again and singled twice to drive in both Blue Rock runs, scored by Cole Daily (1-2) in the 6th and Onix Vega (2-3) in the 7th. Yasel Antuna struck out with the tying run on 3rd and the go-ahead run on 1st to end the game.

Charleston 5 Fredericksburg 1
• Alvarez (L, 0-2) 4IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 8K, 2WP
• Schoff 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 3K
• De La Rosa 1-4, R, SB
• Williams 1-4
• 16K, 0-6 RISP, 5 LOB

The FredNats machine broke down and barely avoid a shutout, 5-1 to snap a six-game winning streak. Andrew Alvarez labored through four innings, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out a career-high of eight. He threw 88 pitches, 52 for strikes. Jeremy De La Rosa led off the game, stole second, took third on a groundout, and scored on an error. Steven Williams collected the second and final Fredericksburg hit with a one-out single in the 4th. The FredNats struck out 16 times and drew just three walks, one by Brady House to extend his on-base streak to 17 games.

    That’s the Nats farm system I know and love! Losses across the board.

    Baker has been playing pretty well so far, but I’m surprised he hasn’t stolen more bases. He was prolific in college, but still nabbed more than 20 bases in his two full seasons of college ball. But as a professional, he’s only got 3 in 37 games (to go with two CS). I’d have expected more. On the bright side, he is showing more power than I’d have expected.

    After a momentary hot start, almost the entirety of the Wilmington line up has fallen back to earth. Mendoza (.720 OPS), Antuna (.741), Vega (.680), Sanchez (.681) are back to relatively unimpressive offensive numbers.

      Correction: He WASN’T* prolific in college

        finished 2nd in PAC 12 , 3 years in a row.
        28 steals his last year

    Mitchell Parker may have layed an egg but Michael Cuevas did not. A tough luck loser with only 1 earned run in 5 innings and a pristine 2.79 ERA for the season. Good stuff.

    A lot of the best pitching prospects toe the slab today with Henry, Irvin, and Theophile. Can’t wait for the results.

    Luis Garcia is the hottest hitter on the planet.

    1. Mark L says:
      April 28, 2022 at 2:59 pm

      Agreed. Too bad the worst hitters in baseball, Fox and Ezcobar, are blocking him.

  4. KW says:
    April 28, 2022 at 4:18 pm

    Fox is still hitless in the majors, walked today but immediately got picked off. If someone understands their fascination with him, please let me know.

    What they don’t seem fascinated with is the concept of Garcia playing shortstop. Yet they signed an established veteran in Cesar Hernandez for 2B. So their hottest hitter in the upper minors is blocked. But with a shaky pitching staff, it also doesn’t make a lot of sense to risk the extra outs with Garcia playing SS.

    1. Mark L says:
      April 28, 2022 at 4:45 pm

      KW, you haven’t seen Alcides Escobar this year if you’re worried about Garcia and extra outs.

        A cold snap on the east coast for farm clubs .

          Cold snap ? Sens hit four taters vs Hartford and the Cuban makes my jaw drop inAA debut
