NOTES
Ernie Clement hit his eleventh home run, one of three hits he picked up on Sunday. Addison Barger, Tanner Morris and Cam Eden had a pair of hits each. Morris got off to a slow start but did you know he hit .420 in July with a 1.111 OPS. He is hitting .286 in August. His lack of power impacts his prospect status, he has 4 this season and 18 over four minor league seasons. Barger is hitting .327 in August.
The Bisons used six pitchers, Andrew Bach went four innings in a starting role.
It was another homer fest in Hartford. Will Robertson hit his twelfth, Miguel Hiraldo his tenth and Damiano Palmegiani went deep twice for numbers 17 and 18. Robertson, Hiraldo, Palmegiani (obviously) and Steward Berroa had two hits each.
Chad Dallas started for Nh and he gave up a couple of home runs, three runs in total. Was the wind blowing out? He went six innings and struck out seven.
The C's and Eugene each had seven hits in their smoke shortened game but the C's won by a touchdown. Eugene started by walking the first three hitters of the game. That led to one run. But they again walked the first hitter in the fourth. A single, a sac fly and another walk left a run in and two on. That was fine for Peyton Williams who hit a three run home run. Jommer Hernandez added a two run single in the fifth. Jeffrey Wehler was the only C with two hits.
Pat Gallagher started and went three innings. He needed 69 pitches and was done. Cooper Benson pitched the last two innings to pick up the win.
For the second day in a row the Dunedin game was shortened by rain. The D Jays did not have a home run, or any extra base hit, but did have twelve singles. Angel Del Rosario and Glenn Santiago had three each, Roque Salinas and Manuel Beltre two each.
The rehabbing Trenton Wallace started and got four outs. New draftee Josh Mollerus followed but then Rafael Ohashi pitched the last four innings. He gave up five runs but still got awarded a save. The score was within three runs when he entered the game and he pitched three innings or longer.
