Francys Peguero held the fort for three frames before the Yard Goats got three more runs in the late innings to put the game away.

11 Commments

  1. Congrats on Andrew Lee for getting a second call to Rochester. His first trip last season didn’t go so well. I think he and Andrew Stevenson are the only 2015 draft picks who are still in the system.

    1. Andrew Lee should get an award for perseverance, he’s on his 3rd elbow and still plugging away.

      1. Lee is definitely a candidate for whatever they’re calling the Boone award now. They really should rename it for Aaron Barrett.

    3. This umpire has to make the bigs – Denver Dangerfield who is calling the Cuevas Gold outing tonight

  2. 22 year old Jose Sanchez is putting up some solid numbers at High A. With 256 AB’s it’s not a small sample size.

    This was Mason Denaburg’s third good start in a row

  3. Another solid outing from Mason Denaburg. For a guy who didn’t pitch for two seasons, I take where he is right now.

    The Nats really do need to promote Will Frizzell to Fburg and let him DH. They aren’t going to learn anything from a 23-year-old clobbering FCL pitching.

    1. KW plus Coutts needs ABs not to mention the weekend day two draft haul who Don a 1 b glove or swing ABs as another DH/ OF

  4. Placing the cart before the horse ?
    Kilome up with the Big boys someday soon ?
