Weekend Probables:

LHV: TBD, Ben Lively, Cole Irvin
REA: Harold Arauz, JoJo Romero, Franklyn Kilome
CLR: Nick Fanti, TBD, TBD

Lehigh Valley 7, Gwinnett 1

Enyel De Los Santos - 8 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 7 K, HR, 7 GB, 8 FB
Yacksel Rios - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, K
Collin Cowgill - 3 for 5, 2 R, 2B
Mitch Walding - 0 for 2, R, RBI, BB, K, HBP
Joey Meneses - 2 for 5, 2B, HR, 2 RBI, K
Damek Tomscha - 0 for 2, BB, HBP

Enyel De Los Santos is having a pretty good turn through AAA, huh? Yesterday was his 6th win and saw his ERA drop to 1.63. He has a respectable 69:20 K/BB in 66.1 innings. Enyel even had a bunt hit and stolen base yesterday...he can do it all! Mitch Walding returns to the lineup after his brief (and painful) stint with the big club. Joey Meneses slugged his 10th HR of the year, a solo shot in the 4th inning. The offense clobbered Braves pitching prospect Max Fried for all 7 runs.

Altoona 1, Reading 0

Ranger Suarez - 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 9 K, 7 GB, 2 FB
Jeff Singer - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 K, HBP
Malquin Canelo - 1 for 3, BB, 2 K
Kyle Martin - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K
Jiandido Tromp - 0 for 3, BB, K
Darick Hall - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K
Jan Hernandez - 0 for 4, 2 K
Austin Bossart - 2 for 4, 2B

A disappointing loss in front of a brilliant start from lefty Ranger Suarez. In his last two starts combined, he has gone: 14 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 11 K. Edgar Garcia started the bottom of the 9th of the 0-0 game and allowed the walk-off victory. The offense combined for 4 hits, 4 walks and struck out 13 times (sounds familiar, huh?). Jeff Singer has been perfect since his promotion to AA, pitching 5 scoreless innings of 1 hit, 1 walk and 7 strikeout ball.

Daytona 6, Clearwater 5

Mauricio Llovera - 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB, 7 K, 6 GB, 2 FB
Arquimedes Gamboa - 1 for 2, HR
Raul Rivas - 1 for 3, K
Adam Haseley - 2 for 5, 2 R
Austin Listi - 2 for 2, 2 HR, 3 RBI, 3 BB
Edgar Cabral - 1 for 5, K
Gabriel Lino - 0 for 5, 3 K
Jose Gomez - 2 for 4, RBI, BB
Jose Pujols - 1 for 4, 2B, BB, 2 K
Luke Williams - 0 for 4, K
Brian Mims - 0 for 3, BB, K

Mauricio Llovera with one of his best starts of the season, left the game with a 4-1 lead. Blake Quinn entered the 7th and allowed Daytona to tie the game at 4. Lucky enough, the Threshers would score a run in the top of the 9th via a bases loaded walk to take the lead back. Then Clearwater turned to J.D. Hammer to close out the game...which of course led to a 2-run inning and a walk-off loss. Other positives however was that Arquimedes Gamboa hit his first HR of the season, but then was lifted in the 2nd inning. He is another Thresher to keep an eye on in the injury front (including the missing Mickey Moniak). Austin Listi just continues to crush the bell and even more so since Darick Hall’s promotion. His homers yesterday were his 7th and 8th. His season line is up to .353/.471/.576 in 184 at-bats. Adam Haseley’s hitting streak reaches 10 games.

Hagerstown 3, Lakewood 1

Kyle Young - 7.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, BB, 4 K, 11 GB, 2 FB
Jake Scheiner - 0 for 3, 3 K
Daniel Brito - 0 for 3, BB, 3 K
Jhailyn Ortiz - 1 for 4, HR, K
Quincy Nieporte - 1 for 3, 2B, BB, 2 K
Cole Stobbe - 0 for 3, BB, 3 K
Nick Maton - 0 for 3, BB
Rodolfo Duran - 0 for 4, 3 K
Josh Stephen - 0 for 3
Kevin Markham - 1 for 2, BB (throwing error and outfield assist, home)

Kyle Young’s line looks a bit worse than it does thanks to Luis Carrasco allowing two inherited runners to score in the bottom of the 8th inning. Despite that, Young still owns a 2.45 ERA in 4 starts. Jhailyn Ortiz was the offense on Thursday night, hitting his 3rd HR of the season. Cole Stobbe makes his return from the DL. He last played a game on April 13th.
