Rochester 5 Omaha 2
• Cavalli 3⅔ IP, 2H, 1R, 0ER, 0BB, 6K
• F. Perez 1⅔ IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Stevenson 2-5, R, HR, 3RBI
• Banks 1-2, R, 2BB, RBI
• Vargas 1-3, BB, E(8)
The Red Wings put up four in the 2nd and held on for a 5-2 win over the Storm Chasers in the series opener. Cade Cavalli left with an injury (blister) with two outs in the 4th and gave up an unearned run on two hits. He walked none and struck out six. Francisco Perez was credited with the win as the most effective reliever while Alberto Baldonado struck out the side in the 8th for the hold and Tyler Clippard did the same in the 9th for the save. Andrew Stevenson got the big hit with an Earl Weaver Special for his 7th HR as Rochester tallied seven hits and drew six walks.
Harrisburg 8 Hartford 7
• Rogers (W, 1-1) 5⅓ IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 3BB, 5K, HR
• A. Lee 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Connell 2-2, 2R, 3BB, HR(10), 2RBI
• Lindsly 2-5, 2R, HR(5), RBI
• A. Young 1-2, R, 2B(5), 3BB, RBI
Harrisburg nearly blew a 7-0 lead after four innings but Bradly Lindsly’s HR in the 7th provided the difference in an 8-7 win over Hartford. Josh Rogers only gave up one HR and five hits total, though he let in four runs, walked three, and fanned five over five and a 1/3rd innings while getting the “W.” Justin Connell reached base five times with a single, homer, and three walks while Anthony Young doubled and took three free passes to lead the Senators offense.
Wilmington 6 Hickory 0
• Knowles 4IP, 0H, 0R, 3BB, 5K
• Alston (W, 2-1) 2IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• Baker 2-4, R, HR, RBI
• Sánchez 2-4, R, 2B
• Pineda 1-3, R, BB, HR, 2RBI
The bullpen melted down in the 8th, but it was the Crawdad “firemen” who let in five runs to turn a 1-0 nailbiter into a 6-0 whitewashing for the Blue Rocks. Lucas Knowles stepped in for four no-hit innings, walking three and fanning five. Garvin Alston (2IP), Richard Guasch (2IP), and Troy Stainbrook (1IP) combined for five scoreless to preserve the shutout. Darren Baker and Israel Pineda both homered while José Sánchez doubled to power the Wilmington six-hit attack – two of which came in three RISP chances.
Augusta 6 Fredericksburg 2
• Alvarez (L, 4-5) 5IP, 8H, 3R, 3ER, 2BB, 6K, HR
• Greenhill 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Infante 2-3, 2RBI
• V. Peña 1-3, R, BB, CS, E(11)
Fredericksburg’s four-game win streak came to a halt with a 6-2 loss to Augusta. Andrew Alvarez got the start and was dinged for three runs on eight hits (one HR) and two walks over five innings. He struck out six. Sammy Infante cashed in the second of two (2) RISP chances with a two-run single in the top of the 7th to bring the FredNats within one at 3-2. Alas, Marc Davis was, um, stung for three runs by the GreenJackets in the bottom of the 7th to put the game away for Augusta. Fredericksburg was limited to five hits and one walk, with Infante the only batter to have multiple hits and Viandel Peña drawing the only walk.
FCL Nationals 3 FCL Astros 2
• Quintanilla 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Ogando (W, 1-0) 5IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 8K
• Quintana 2-4, R, 2B
• Frizzell 2-4, R, 2RBI
• Tejeda 2-4, R, RBI
The F-Nats struck for three in the 1st and five in the 4th as they took this weather-shortened game, 8-2. Cole Quintanilla got the rehab opening assignment and allowed a hit in the 1st. Putative starter Adrian Ogando shut out the FAO’s on two hits over the next five while striking out a career-high of eight. Roismar Quintana, Will Frizzell, and Erick Tejeda each went 2-for-4, combining for three runs, three RBI, and a double (Quintana).
DSL Mariners 3 DSL Nationals 1
• Rivas (L, 0-2) 3⅓ IP, 2H, 1R, 0ER, 1BB, 5K, HBP
• Montero 3⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 1K
• E. De La Cruz 1-3
• J. Fernandez 1-4, RBI
• D. Martinez OF assist @ HP
The loss was the third straight for the D-Nats.
Will Frizzell needs to show he can mash against more than FCL munchkins. Call him up to the FredNats! The TJ White fan club is starved for nourishment as our hero rocked the Sombrero with 0-3 and 3ks. De La Rosa went 0-4 but he did manage an rbi, run, and stolen base. And Alu got the party started in Rochester with an rbi double and scored on Stevenson’s hr.
SD, I’m with you on wanting 23-year-old Frizzell to get moving. He didn’t play until July, though, and he’s only DH’d, so he may still be rehabbing something. He showed big power his senior season at Texas A&M, something this organization is sorely lacking.
I only need him to dh for the FredNats. Boissiere can play 1b and hopefully build on his powerless .752ops in July. I question drafting Boissiere. In his best season at Arizona he only had 5 hr, albeit with a .451obp. Unless he’s Mark Grace at 1b and can hit more his .304 slug against younger competition in the Carolina league ain’t cuttin it.
Maybe BB could benefit from hitting in front of the Frizzzz. No longer possible the Frizz @ the Fritz
What is Cole Q coming back from in rehab ?
Ex- po old fans can’t help noticing the Montreal connection with Montoyo
Out in Toronto and one of Buck Rodgers favorite players in his day in AAA Indy then MTL – Casey Candaele in as bench coach .
Casey’s mom played pro woman’s baseball during WW2 .
agreed, he can DH at Fredericksburg
There is a construction company throwing up an ALDIs near me naked TEEL
Parker got a call up to Sens or another blister ?
Vegas odds on Densburg going over 4 IP?
Nice thing about FRED low A is Fred MD eyes on the kids especially young Christopher De LA ( Pablo ) Cruz
Since a tough outing on June 15, Lucas Knowles has made six appearances during which he’s pitched 17.1 innings. He has surrendered only two runs during that stretch (only one earned), eight hits, four walks, while striking out 19. He sure looks ready to move up the promotion line, particularly since he’s 24. It’s really hard to judge whether he’s becoming something special since he’s “old for the level,” so it’s time to find out.
The force Lucas upward , Dr Watson
Cody Greenhill has 45 K’s and 8 BB in 27.2 innings in Fredericksburg. Not bad for a player undrafted in 2021.
Best K/BB rates (> 24 IP)
—————————————–
Yankosky WIL 29.0 (IL)
Aldonis FCL 6.6 (promoted to FRE)
Greenhill FRE 5.6
Ferrer WIL/FRE 4.9
Troop HBG 4.8
Frizzell is only DH’ing for FCL (injury?).
Speaking of injury, any news on the Yankoski injury?
Looking at the numbers T.J. White sure looks a whole lot smarter as a 5th rounder than Boissiere as a 3rd round.
You don’t see anybody beating the drum for the Boissiere fan club that’s for sure!
Great point Natter on Greenhill!!
Darren Baker has been raking since named to the All-Star Futures!
“They think I can. Dagummit, I can!”
I almost forgot to say goodbye to Gage Canning. A 5th round pick in 2018, he signed for $208,900 and then had a terrific season at SS-A Auburn.
He never really hit enough after that to be a hot prospect and this year, because of an injury(?), his offense really cratered and the handwriting was on the wall.
Wish him the best of luck in whatever he wants to do next in his life.
I’ll be interested in Teel’s outing tonight. with a couple bullpen spots sure to open up, I’d bet he could hold his own in The Show. good command, good mound presence, throws hard enough. definitely a middle reliever but I’d rather see him get the innings than Josh Rogers.
Teel from good OSU Cowboys program
Tanner Rainey to 60 day IL with ucl sprain. Welcome back to DC, Clip! Wish it was under better circumstances, but he’s definitely earned it. Be interesting to see if he slows back down now that he’s free of the pitch clock.
