There was little of note happening on the farm on Tuesday. The good guys were whitewashed, no wins in six games. Hits were in short supply, the GCL Jays had two hits, Lansing had three, Las Vegas had four, Vancouver six. You get the picture.
Sacramento are ahead of Las Vegas in the playoff hunt. The 51's had to face Brad Peacock and they could only get two hits off him, both RBI doubles. Yan Gomes was back in town and started at first base. He scored the first run after he walked and Brian Bocock doubled him home. Jon Diaz also walked and Ricardo Nanita doubled him home. In total the Jays had four hits.
Jesse Chavez started for Las Vegas and was not at his best, he gave up eight hits and two walks in just 4.1 innings.
Deck McGuire started and he did give up the one run, but it was unearned, pretty good right? But in five innings he allowed five hits and four walks, that's not so good. But two of the hits were infield types, that's better. But he did have a run cut down at the plate. All in all it was a better start for McGuire. Joel Carreno finished with three shutout innings.
New Hampshire had eight hits, Brian Van Kirk and Gabe Jacobo had three each. Jake Marisnick had a double.
Dunedin at Tampa - postponed
Jose Bautista and Adam Lind missed out on their chance to get some at-bats. They are flying to New Hampshire in search of better weather.
Lansing had only three hits. Noah Syndergaard gave up two runs in the fourth inning, two walks were followed by a ground ball triple. Lake County added four more in the eighth.
Javier Avendano pitched four shutout innings, he had eight K's while giving up two hits. Brian Longpre gave up three runs in the sixth inning. Those three runs were enough, Vancouver had only six hits, the great Balbino had two. None of the newly called up plyaers saw action.
Deivy Estrada and Tucker Jensen each gave up four runs in three plus innings.
On offense Seth Connor was 3-3 with two walks. DJ Davis continued his hot play with two more hits. Jacob Anderson had a double.
Newly arrived from the DSL, Oscar Cabrera started and this appearance was not as good as his first one. He gave up three runs on five hits in three innings. Those three runs more more than enough as the Jays had only three baserunners in the game, two hits and one walk.
