New Hampshire's RJ Schreck had a big game and Rafael Sanchez pitched well to get the win for the Fisher Cats. Dunedin shutout Clearwater with Edward Duran having four hits. Vancouver could have won as they led into the ninth inning but the bullpen lost the game for them. It spoiled a great start by Kendry Rojas. Buffalo's bullpen cost them a win despite Alan Roden's four hits. It was only a two win night but there were lots of good individual performances.

NOTES


The Bisons game was scoreless until the fifth inning. In the bottom of the inning Alan Roden singled in Riley Tirotta. Paolo Espino had started for Buffalo and threw just two innings. Newly claimed Easton Lucas had followed Espino and had thrown three shutout innings. He came out for the sixth and gave up a double. Braydon Fisher came on. He had pitched well since his callup to AAA. Omaha chased him with five hits in the inning. Ultimately he was charged with four runs. Roden doubled in Buffalo's second run in the seventh inning. Roden had a four hit game with two RBI. Riley Tirotta had two hits.



New Hampshire got on the board early with two runs in the first inning. RJ Schreck and Charles McAdoo doubled and Michael Turconi singled. Hartford tied the game in the third. The game remained tied until the seventh when Schreck hit a two run home run. Schreck was 2-3 with a walk. Turconi also had two hits. In his last eight games Schreck has four home runs and four multi hit games.


Rafael Sanchez went five innings, two runs allowed on three hits. He struck out three.


Peyton Williams has been on a tear recently. He doubled in a run in the first inning. In the eighth he doubled again to move Jave Bohrofen to third. Jevon Ward then hit a sac fly to make it a 2-0 game. Williams had a 3-5 game.


Kendry Rojas is another player who is on a roll. Rojas went six shutout innings with nine K's. In his last three starts Rojas had thrown 20 innings with 11 hits allowed and 22 K's. He and Williams could be in AA but Vancouver have a shot at the playoffs whereas New Hampshire don't.


Chay Yeager was called on to close out the C's 2-0 win. But he gave up a two run home run. He stayed in for the tenth and he threw a wild pitch to move the runner to third. That runner was able to score with a sac fly. Yeager got a blown save and a loss, bad day at the office.


Gilberto Batista made his second start as a Blue Jay for Dunedin. He went five shutout innings with three K's. He had six groundouts compared to one flyout.


The Jays had ten hits with the number three and four hitters combining for seven of them. The number three hitter was Sean Keys who was 3-5. Edward Duran was number four and he was 4-5.

Seems like Schreck really needed to get out of the Seattle system - now up to 323/417/694 in NH, after hitting just 143/294/250 for Seattle's AA team. Boy LF is getting crowded suddenly with ML'ers Schneider & Loperfido, AAA Alan Roden (288/386/450 in AAA) & Jonatan Clase (221/260/368 for Buffalo), and Schreck in AA. Between all of those guys we should have a LF for 2025 easily without blowing $50 mil a year on Soto.

To be fair, I'd gladly blow $50 mil a year on Soto. But we won't, and you're right. There is no shortage of options there. I think we should go after a righty who can platoon with one of Loperfido/Roden.

On FG's "Minor League Power Rankings", which adjusts for age and level, has Schreck in at 69th on the season across the minors. McAdoo is 29th, and Roden 90th.

BBWAA member Francys Romero, who breaks a lot of Cuban player news, announced on his Twitter that Lazaro Estrada has already signed a 2025 milb contract with the Jays. So he'll no longer be eligible for milb free agency but he will still be eligible for the Rule 5 draft unless added to the 40-man by the November deadline.

Estrada is 5'10". He throws a fastball and a curve.
He's been a starter but with a relatively low workload.He's got a 3.40 ERA in AA but what would that translate to in MLB?There's no way he sticks around as a starter for a full season and rule 5 picks can't be optioned. Does he have enough stuff with a nice shape on his 94mph heater to stick in a pen?
Teams tend to focus on guys with upper 90s fastballs. 
There's a clear path if he does well in AAA and if he's got options.
It's a lot less clear if he can't be optioned.
