Phillies Minor League Roundup - July 13, 2016

Today's Probables:

LHV: David Buchanan
REA: Tyler Viza
CLR: Luke Leftwich
LWD: Jose Tavares
WIL: Bailey Falter

Clearwater 4, Palm Beach 0

Elniery Garcia - 8 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K, 12 GB, 4 FB
Victor Arano - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, K
Carlos Tocci - 1 for 5, 2B, 2 RBI
Cord Sandberg - 0 for 5, R, K
Scott Kingery - 3 for 5
Kyle Martin - 1 for 4, RBI
Zach Green - 0 for 4, K
Mitch Walding - 2 for 4, R, 2B, K (fielding error)
Chace Numata - 0 for 4
Malquin Canelo - 1 for 4, R
Derek Campbell - 1 for 2, R, K, HBP

Elniery Garcia came 6 outs away from the Threshers 2nd no-hitter in less than a week. He improved to 8-2 and lowered his ERA to 2.23. The 21 year old lefty has been impressive in the FSL and it should be only a matter of time before he is able to prove himself further in the Eastern League. The offense scored all 4 of their runs in the 8th and 9th innings.

Lakewood 6, Hickory 3 (11 innings)

Franklyn Kilome - 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 2 WP, 3 GB, 3 FB
Skylar Hunter - 1.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, BB, K (two pickoff errors)
Jacob Waguespack - 1.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R
Jeff Singer - 3 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 K
Zack Coppola - 3 for 5, RBI, BB, 2 SB, CS
Cornelius Randolph - 2 for 6, 2 K, SB
Josh Tobias - 0 for 5, 2 K
Damek Tomscha - 1 for 5, R
Jose Pujols - 1 for 4, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI, BB, 2 K (fielding error)
Wilson Garcia - 2 for 4, R
Carlos Duran - 0 for 4, 2 K
Grenny Cumana - 2 for 5, R, 2B, RBI
Edgar Cabral - 0 for 2, BB, K
Deivi Grullon - 1 for 2, HR, 2 RBI

Franklyn Kilome pitches an excellent game, but is oddly removed after only 79 pitches. Pitch/innings limit already into effect? Jose Pujols hit his league-leading 17th HR (yeah, yeah he strikes out a ton still). Cornelius Randolph with back-to-back mult-hit games, including his 4th stolen base. Grenny Cumana got the 3-run 11th inning started with an RBI single to score Pujols. Deivi Grullon followed with a 2-run HR, his 5th of the season.

Williamsport 8, Batavia 7

Felix Paulino - 4.1 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, HR, 9 GB, 1 FB
Alexander Kline - 2 IP, 0 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
Jake Kezler - 1.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB, 4 K, WP
Tyler Hallead - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB
Mark Laird - 1 for 4, R, RBI
Juan Luis - 1 for 1, R, 2B, RBI
Arquimedes Gamboa - 2 for 4, BB
David Martinelli - 2 for 5, RBI, K
Darick Hall - 0 for 4, BB
Henri Lartigue - 0 for 4, R, BB
Luke Maglich - 1 for 3, 2 R, 3B, RBI, 2 BB (passed ball)
Chandler Hall - 1 for 3, 2 HBP
Luis Espiritu - 1 for 4, R, 2B, RBI, picked off (throwing error)
Jesus Alastre - 1 for 3, R, RBI, HBP

Things were looking pretty bleak for the Crosscutters last evening. They were down 7-0 heading into the bottom of the 7th. They were then able to cut the lead to 7-2...then in the 8th they cut it to 7-6. As the bottom of the 9th approached, the improbable comeback came to fruition. Luke Maglich would hit a 1-out RBI-triple to score a pinch-running Enmanuel Garcia and tie the game. Chandler Hall would line out in the next at-bat, giving Williamsport just one more at-bat to avoid extra innings. With a bit of luck, a passed ball with Luis Espiritu at the plate allowed Luke Maglich to score from 3B, completing the victory.

GCL Blue Jays 5, GCL Phillies 4 (10 innings)

Nick Fanti - 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 6 K, HBP, 3 GB, 2 FB
Andrew Brown - 2 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, BB, K, HBP
Geury Ortiz - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, K
Jordan Kurokawa - 1.2 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, BB
Daniel Brito - 1 for 5, RBI
Mickey Moniak - 1 for 5, 3B, 2 RBI
Malvin Matos - 2 for 4, R, BB, 2 SB
Jhailyn Ortiz - 1 for 5, K (outfield assist, 2B)
Josh Stephen - 0 for 5, K
Nerluis Martinez - 2 for 3, 2B, RBI
Edwin Rodriguez - 0 for 4
Jose Antequera - 2 for 4, 2 R, 2B
Raul Rivas - 0 for 3, R

Nick Fanti with another good outing. In 4 starts he has gone: 17.2 IP, 13 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 23 K. Jordan Kurokawa (2016 28th round pick) blew the save in the 9th and fell to 0-2 giving up the winning run in the bottom of the 10th as well. Moniak's triple was his first in his professional career and is batting .277/.314/.383 in the early going.
