Phillies Minor League Roundup, August 8, 2012

Lehigh Valley 5, Buffalo 4 (12)

Tyler Cloyd 6.2 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 8 K, 1 HR, 9 GB, 1 LD, 5 FB (2 pop)
Jake Diekman 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 HBP
Justin De Fratus 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

J.C. Ramirez 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 IBB, 3 K
Cesar Hernandez 1 for 6, error
Sebastian Valle 0 for 5, 4 K, threw out 1 of 2

Weird line from Cloyd, who normally neither strikes out nor walks a ton of batters. The Pigs won it in the bottom of the 12th on a two-out, bases-loaded wild pitch, scoring Pete Orr. (Is it proper to call a game-ending wild pitch a "walkoff" when the runner had to run home?)

Reading 7, Trenton 2

Ethan Martin 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR, 2 WP, 1 SH, 8 GB, 3 LD, 11 FB (4 pop)

Cody Asche 1 for 5, 3 K, error
Darin Ruf 3 for 4, HR, BB
Leandro Castro 2 for 5, 2B, HR, 2 K

Tampa 4, Clearwater 3

Austin Wright 7.0 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 1 HR, 1 HBP, 12 GB, 3 LD, 6 FB

Anthony Hewitt 0 for 4, 2 K
Cameron Rupp 2 for 3, 2B, BB, K, PB
Harold Martinez 0 for 3, BB, error
Edgar Duran 1 for 3, BB, K

Three of the first four Tampa batters scored against Wright, but after that he settled down nicely.

Lakewood 5, Kannapolis 0

Hoby Milner (7th round) 6.1 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 5 K, 7 GB, 3 LD, 6 FB (2 pop)
Chris Nichols (31st round) 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 K

Brian Pointer 1 for 2, 2B, K, SF
William Carmona (11th round) 1 for 4
Gabriel Lino 1 for 3, 2 K, picked off a baserunner
Alejandro Villalobos 1 for 3, 2B

That was Milner's third straight start without allowing a run. Over that stretch, he has 16 K, 4 BB in 18.2 IP. He'd been having a lot of post-promotion struggles before this stretch.

Short season team stats after the jump...
