This is what I noted from yesterday's games.
Vinny Capra scored both runs for Buffalo, one via a home run. Josh Palacios drove in the winning run.
Nick Allgeyer went five innings, allowed two hits one of which was a home run. He struck out seven. Remember Allgeyer started 2021 hot as well, earning a call-up, before he faded a bit in the summer.
Hayden Juenger started for NH and went three hitless innings with seven strikeouts. Paxton Schultz followed and went four shutout innings with five K's. Hagen Danner tried to close it out but was pulled after getting two outs and conceding two runs.
Phil Clarke had the big hit with a bases clearing double in the seventh inning of a scoreless game. It was one of his two hits on the day. Spencer Horwitz stayed hot with two more hits.
Half of Vancouver's hits, and five of their eight runs, came from the number eight and nine hitters. In the ninth spot Garrett Spain, a 15th round pick last season, went 3-4 with a home run and two doubles. He is hitting .625. Hitting eighth, Trevor Schwecke was 2-4 with a homer and a double. I would think those two will be higher than eight and nine in the order on Tuesday. Riley Tirotta also had two doubles.
Sem Robberse went five innings, and allowed three runs, two earned on six hits. Four of the hits and all the runs came in the first inning. After that he was solid.
Rafael Ohashi was outstanding, ten K's over four shutout innings. He did not allow a hit and walked two. Dahian Santos was hit around a bit following Ohashi but the Jays made three errors in the game leading to six unearned runs.
Adriel Sotolongo hit his second home run, a two run shot. Damiano Palmegiani tripled but was thrown out trying to make it an inside the park home run.
Three Stars
Third Star - Garrett Spain
