A 2-4 night in the minors.
Syracuse 6 at Rochester 9
Ty Taubenheim got rocked for 8 runs in 3 innings. The Chiefs rallied with HRs by Chad Mottola and Ryan Roberts (who played SS last night).
New Hampshire 2 at Portland 4
Does NH play Portland every game? It was a bullpen game for NH and Matumoto got the start giving up 3 runs in 4 innings. David Smith had a solo HR for the Fisher Cats and Ryan Patterson was 3-5 with two doubles. Patterson has been particularly hot lately, hitting .352/.372/.670 in 88 July ABs.
Sarasota 1 at Dunedin 12
Russ Savickas gave up 1 run over 6 innings, striking out 3 and walking 4. Jacob Butler and Carlo Cota each had 3 run HRs. Lots of two hit nights for the D-Jays: Gonzalez, Butler, Cota, Jeroloman, and Gutierrez.
Lansing 4 at Quad Cities 11
It's tough to beat 4 cities. Graham Godfrey started and gave up 4 runs (3 earned) in 5 innings. He gave up 7 hits, 3 walks and struck out 8. Ron Lowe then came on and had little success giving up 7 runs in two innings. At the plate Jon Baksh had three hits and two of Lansing's RBIs.
Auburn 6 at Tri-City 3
Three cities is apparently more managable to beat. Luis Perez got the start and gave up 3 runs in 5.2 innings of work. At the plate Zeskind, Mastroianni, and Sanchez each had two hits. JP Arencibia had a double.
GCL Jays 3 at GCL Yankees 4
Y Chavez and Kevin Ahrens each had two hits. Ahrens also stole his third base of the season. Eric Eiland had a double. Brad Cuthbertson started and gave up 1 run over 5 innings, striking out 4.
