The affiliates went 4-2 on an extremely boring night on the farm.
Las Vegas 4 Albuquerque 6
It's not nearly as interesting looking at the 51s boxscores now, is it? Luke Hughes (??) and Ricardo Nanita homered while Mike McDade went 2-for-5 with an RBI.
Bobby Korecky started and went four allowing three runs on eight hits. Evan Crawford took the loss allowing a run in two innings.
Akron @ New Hampshire- Postponed
Daytona 5 Dunedin 12
Jack Murphy homered and doubled for the D-Jays while Jonathan Jones was 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI.
Cody Evans started and went three allowing two runs on two hits. Newly re-acquired Frank Gailey recorded the victory despite allowing two runs on five hits in three innings.
West Michigan 7 Lansing 8
Chris Hawkins, K.C. Hobson, Gustavo Pierre, and Andy Fermin each had two hits while Michael Crouse homered. Hobson picked up his 31st double and drove in his 72nd run.
Given the 7-spot West Michigan put up, it's no surprise that the Big Three all had the night off. That left pitching duties to Blake McFarland who went four and allowed four runs on nine hits. He didn't walk anyone and struck out five.
Vancouver 8 Eugene 5
Art Charles had his best Northwest League game going 3-for-5 with three doubles and four RBI. Kellen Sweeney had two hits including a double and stole his second base.
Kyle Anderson started and continued Saturday's theme of 'meh' pitching performances going 5.2 and allowing four runs on four hits while walking two and striking out three.
Bristol 7 Bluefield 8
Not a good start for Daniel Norris who allowed seven runs (six earned) on nine hits in just 3.1 frames. Norris's peripherals are all pretty decent, he has just been giving up a ton of runs.
Almost everyone had two hits and a double for Bluefield. Seriously. Check it out. Seven guys had two hits, including a double. We'll highlight Seth Conner because he also walked and drove in three.
