Danny Jansen had two hits while Tim Lopes and Roemon Fields both doubled. Rowdy Tellez walked but Devon Travis was 0-for-4.
Portland 5 New Hampshire 3
The good news is T.J. Zeuch did not leave this one due to injury. His pitching line took a beating though in his Double-A debut. He was torched for five runs (four earned0 on nine hits and a walk by the Red Sox affiliate. He struck out three and produced six outs on the dirt. The bullpen did its part with five innings of shutout relief. Daniel Young struck out three over two frames. Zach Jackson whiffed two and walked one in one inning and Jose Fernandez rung up two over two innings.
Harold Ramirez and Patrick Cantwell had two hits apiece. Max Pentecost doubled and walked. Jonathan Davis, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Connor Panas all picked up singles. Bo Bichette was 0-for-5 with a hat trick. Cavan Biggio was 0-for-4
Bradenton 4 Dunedin 2
The Pirates affiliate handed the D-Jays another loss as they scored four times off Josh DeGraaf over five innings. Two of the runs were unearned but DeGraaf was gonged for a pair of long balls among five hits and two walks. He struck out three and induced five outs on the diamond. William Ouellette pitched 2-2/3 scoreless innings of two-hit ball with three strikeouts. Travis Bergen stranded Ouellette's hits with 1-1/3 innings of one-hit ball and two K's.
Eduard Pinto had a perfect night at the plate with two hits and a walk. Riley Adams doubled, walked and drove in both Dunedin runs. Logan Warmoth and Bradley Jones had the other Dunedin safeties.
Lansing 11 Wisconsin 4
The two Kevins did some big time damage in this one. Kevin Smith went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs batted in and Kevin Vicuna collected a double among his three hits and two walks at the top of the order. That gave the Lugnuts a convincing win over the Brewers affiliate in the Cheesehead State. Brock Lundquist doubled twice with an intentional pass and Christian Williams had a two-hit effort. Yeltsin Gudino singled, walked and drove in four runs.
Maverik Buffo was dinged for a solo homer over five innings but yielded just five hits and a walk while whiffing two and inducing five groundball outs for the win. Donnie Sellers gave up two runs over three frames but struck out five and Brody Rodning surrendered an unearned marker in the ninth.
