Three outta four on the farm and a ton of nice performances including exactly the type of game Anthony Gose should have.
Salt Lake 2 Las Vegas 4
Some nice nights from the prospects. Adeiny Hechavarria homered and doubled while Anthony Gose singled, walked, stole two bases, and had an outfield assist. David Cooper was 2-for-4 with a homer, too. Only Travis D'Arnaud didn't do much and he walked and scored.
The pitching's hardly worth talking about. Tim Redding started and was perfectly mediocre in his four innings. Evan Crawford pitched a scoreless frame.
New Hampshire 7 Trenton 6 (10 innings)
Deck McGuire took the mound for the Fisher Cats and was, well, fine, I guess. He went six and allowed two runs on four hits but walked three and struck out just four.
Lots of big days at the plate, though. Mark Sobolewski doubled and hit a grand slam while Mike McDade homered and walked twice. Ryan Goins had three hits, John Tolisano had two, including a double and Justin Jackson was 0-for-1 but walked three times and stole two bags.
Dunedin 3 St. Lucie 5
A week ago, in this space, I gushed over Jake Marisnick and his recent hot streak. Since then he's 3-for-26. So I'll watch my words from now on.
The bats didn't do much for the D-Jays. Kevin Ahrens was the big hero going 2-for-4 with a triple. So that's about that.
Asher Wojciechowski started and was effective, working six innings and allowing three runs on six hits. He didn't walk anybody and struck out four.
West Michigan 0 Lansing 2
Sanchez day! The Lugnuts allowed the increasingly exciting prospect to go four innings for the first time this year and Aaron did what Aaron does. He allowed a hit, walked two, and struck out four. That's 19 innings without a run now to start his season. Only six hits, too. Justin Nicolino followed, as he does, and went four shutout frames of his own. And that's 19 scoreless to start his season, too.
The offense did just enough to win. We'll highlight Kevin Pillar because he doubled and had an outfield assist.
