The affiliates went 3-for-3 on the day but there were not many standout performances, aside from Marcus Walden pitching a one-hitter for five innings for Lansing.
Tucson 9 Las Vegas 8 (13 innings)
The Padres' triple-A squad's bullpen outlasted the 51s' squad despite some strong results from Danny Farquhar and Winston Abreu, who eventually took the loss. Kyle Drabek started the game and allowed four runs - but just one was earned - in 6.0 innings. He walked three batters and struck out six. Brett Lawrie was 2-for-4 with a triple, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored. He also made an error in the field. David Cooper went 2-for-6 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Danny Perales and Manny Mayorson also had two hits a piece. Jayson Nix took the O-fer in six at-bats. He struck out twice.
Portland 11 New Hampshire 1
The offense appears to be in a bit of a late-July swoon as the club lost the four-game series with Boston's affiliate and came away with just one win. On Sunday, the offense managed just two hits - one by Moises Sierra and one by Mark Sobolewski, a solo home run. Michael McDade and Travis d'Arnaud were both 0-for-4. On the mound, Chad Jenkins wasn't overly sharp. He gave up four runs (three earned) in 5.0 innings. He walked three and struck out three. Matt Daly was tagged for five runs in one inning of work. Rey Gonzalez allowed two unearned runs in two innings.
Dunedin 6 Charlotte 5
The Baby Jays managed to come out on top of the battle of the bullpens in Florida. Aaron Loup took the win with 2.1 solid innings. Scott Gracey, normally a reliever, received the start and allowed three runs in as many innings. Recent roster filling pick-up, Harold Mozingo, also worked three innings and allowed two runs. Jon Talley led the offense with two hits, including a home run. Hits also came from Brian Van Kirk (of the pinch-hit variety), Kevin Nolan (who's been seeing time in the outfield lately, adding to his versatility), Brad Glenn, Kevin Ahrens, Ryan Goins, and Brad McElroy.
Lansing 6 Beloit 4
Marcus Walden had a solid outing by allowing just one hit over five innings. The right-hander walked two and struck out three batters. He induced seven ground-ball outs and just one managed to make it into the outfield. Shawn Griffith is going through a rough patch and he allowed four runs (three earned) in two-thirds of an inning. Dayton Marze worked 2.1 scoreless innings. Danny Barnes finished off the game with his ninth save. Oliver Dominiguez banged out three hits, while Gari Pena and Carlos Perez each had two. Perez slammed a three-run homer. Michael Crouse went 1-for-4 with a double and a walk. Markus Brisker, recently back from the DL, went 0-for-4, and both Marcus Knecht and K.C. Hobson were also held hitless.
Princeton 9 Bluefield 4
The Rays' affiliate educated starter Deivy Estrada, as he allowed three runs on five hits and two walks over four innings. Myles Duvall also got roughed up by allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk. Thomas Berryhill (recently picked up after getting released by the Braves organization) and Jon Lucas emerged from the game unscathed. On offense, Art Charles finally stepped into a pitch for his ninth homer after a long drought. He drove in three batters but also struck out twice. Matt Johnson, Chris Hawkins, Andy Fermin, and Gustavo Pierre each had a hit. Cody Bartlett had a rough day with an 0-for-4 line and three Ks.
Vancouver 5 Salem-Keizer 2
David Rollins gave up two runs in five innings. Philip Brua picked up the win with three scoreless innings of relief. Drew Permison recorded his eighth save. Jonathan Jones had two hits. Shane Opitz hit a double in four at-bats. Balbino Fuenmayor went 1-for-3 and drove in a run. Chris Schaeffer went 1-for-4 with a RBI. Jon Berti and Jones each stole a base.
