Phillies Minor League Roundup - June 17, 2015

Today's Probables:

LHV: Aaron Nola
REA: Tom Windle
CLR: David Whitehead
LWD: Chris Oliver

Lehigh Valley 8, Buffalo 7

Adam Morgan - 2 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, BB, HR, 0 GB, 5 FB
Chase d'Arnaud - 2 for 4, R, 2B, RBI
Tyler Henson - 1 for 5, R, 3 K (throwing error)
Brian Bogusevic - 1 for 4, 2 R, BB
Darin Ruf - 1 for 5, 2B, 2 RBI, K
Russ Canzler - 2 for 5, R, 2B
Cord Phelps - 3 for 4, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI, BB, K
Chris McGuiness - 3 for 5, R, 2 RBI
Gabriel Lino - 2 for 3, RBI, K, sac fly
Jordan Danks - 0 for 3, BB, K (fielding error)

The IronPigs win a crazy one in which we saw 4 lead changes until the eventual walkoff 2-RBI single in the bottom of the 9th from Chris McGuiness. Adam Morgan leaves the game after only 2 innings and having thrown 35 pitches. It was reported that he was pulled to "cut back on his innings." Cord Phelps' homer was his 3rd of the season.

Trenton 6, Reading 5

Zach Eflin - 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 9 GB, 4 FB
Nefi Ogando - 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, K
Ryan O'Sullivan - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, BB, K
J.P. Crawford - 1 for 4, 2 R, 2B, BB, K
Kelly Dugan - 2 for 5, RBI, K
Aaron Altherr - 2 for 5, K (outfield assist, home)
Brock Stassi - 1 for 5, R, 2B, K
Cam Perkins - 1 for 4, RBI, BB, 2 K, SB
Brian Pointer - 1 for 4, RBI, BB, 2 K
Devin Lohman - 0 for 3, RBI, K (fielding and throwing errors)
Logan Moore - 0 for 4, R, K
KC Serna - 1 for 4

A costly Lohman error resulted in a 4-run inning for Zach Eflin, who doesn't factor into the decision. Ogando is tagged with the loss who has been a bit shaky after a hot start. Crawford's double was his 7th with Reading in 77 at bats. He had only 1 double in 79 at bats in Clearwater. Kelly Dugan is batting a healthy .316/.364/.526 in 19 at bats since coming off the DL.

Clearwater 4, St. Lucie 3 (11 innings)

Yacksel Rios - 5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, BB, 4 K, 6 GB, 1 FB, 2 WP, 2 HBP
Ethan Martin - 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB
Edubray Ramos - 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 K
Ulises Joaquin - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R
Drew Stankiewicz - 1 for 4, BB, K
Carlos Tocci - 1 for 4, RBI, K
Andrew Pullin - 0 for 3, BB, HBP
Dylan Cozens - 2 for 5, R, 2B, CS
Chace Numata - 1 for 4, 2B, RBI, BB
Aaron Brown - 1 for 4, HR, BB, K
Harold Martinez - 1 for 3, BB
Mitch Walding - 0 for 3, R, BB
Emmanuel Marrero - 0 for 4, R

Aaron Brown plays hero with his 4th HR of the season to win it in the bottom of the 11th. Yacksel Rios has been surprisingly solid all season. In his last 31.1 innings, he's held batters to a .276 average allowing only 21 hits, 5 earned runs, while striking out 25 batters and walking 9. He could be a key bullpen piece moving forward. Dylan Cozens' hot streak continues with another multi-hit performance and double. Harold Martinez since being demoted to Clearwater is batting .125/.214/.167 in 24 at bats.

Delmarva 5, Lakewood 4

Ranfi Casimiro - 4.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 5 K, 3 GB, 2 FB, WP
Manny Martinez - 2.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, WP, HBP
Matt Hockenberry - 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, K
Malquin Canelo - 0 for 5, 2 K, SB
Herlis Rodriguez - 2 for 4, R, 3B, K
Damek Tomscha - 1 for 4, R, RBI
Rhys Hoskins - 2 for 4, R, 2 2B
Cord Sandberg - 1 for 2, R, BB
Deivi Grullon - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K (throwing and fielding errors)
Jiandido Tromp - 1 for 4, 2B, 2 RBI
Derek Campbell - 0 for 4
Chase Harris - 0 for 3, BB

Ranfi Casimiro resembled more the pitcher he was last year than he has the rest of this season. He fell to 2-5 with a 3.64 ERA after the game. Rhys Hoskins hit his 16th and 17th doubles of the season and Herlis Rodriguez added his 3rd triple. Yesterday was also only the 9th game all season Malquin Canelo has been held hitless. He has played 60 games. Despite going hitless, he managed to steal his 10th base.
