Lehigh Valley 6, Buffalo 4

Tyler Viza - 3.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 GB, 2 FB
Connor Brogdon - 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 K
Nick Williams - 1 for 2, HR, 2 RBI, BB, K, HBP
Adam Haseley - 0 for 1
Deivy Grullon - 0 for 1
Austin Listi - 1 for 4, R, 2B
Jan Hernandez - 1 for 2, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI, BB, K
Mitch Walding - 1 for 3, BB, K
Malquin Canelo - 0 for 4, 2 K

Something, something Nick Williams. He sports a .410 average, 1.152 OPS and hit his 3rd AAA homer last night. Jan Hernandez added his 8th HR of the season as well, a two-run shot in the 2nd inning. After getting lit up in his AAA debut, Connor Brogdon did his thing that he’s done at two other levels this season. The 24 year old 6’6 righty has 65 strikeouts to 12 walks in 45.2 innings across three levels this season.

New Hampshire 7, Reading 5

Mauricio Llovera - 4.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, HR, HBP, 5 GB, 3 FB
Josh Stephen - 1 for 4, 2B, BB
Alec Bohm - 2 for 5, R, 3B, K (fielding error)
Darick Hall - 2 for 3, R, RBI, 2 BB, K
Cornelius Randolph - 2 for 4, R, K
Luke Williams - 2 for 4, 2 R, HR, 2 RBI
Arquimedes Gamboa - 0 for 3, BB, K (fielding error)

This was not the sharpest of starts for Mauricio Llovera. He had not issued more than 2 walks in a game since April 25th. Llovera still has a respectable 4.26 ERA with 68 strikeouts to 27 walks in 61.1 innings. Luke Williams hit a two-run HR in the 3rd innings, his 5th of the season. Alec Bohm mashed his first AA triple last night and his 4th overall this season. He extended his hitting streak to five games.

Fort Myers 6, Clearwater 0

Anthony Requena - 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 7 GB, 6 FB
Matt Vierling - 3 for 4, SB
Simon Muzziotti - 0 for 3
Jhailyn Ortiz - 0 for 4, 2 K
Nick Maton - 1 for 3
Rodolfo Duran - 0 for 3, 2 K
Daniel Brito - 0 for 3

Brutal night for the Threshers offense as they are five-hit in the game, with no extra-base hits and went 0 for 4 with RISP. They waste a great start by Anthony Requena who has now been excellent in his last two starts, going: 11 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 10 K. It’s been an up and down season for Requena who owns a 4.46 ERA with 69 K’s to 26 BB’s in 72.2 innings overall.

Lakewood 3, Delmarva 0

Victor Santos - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 K, HBP, 4 GB, 6 FB
Francisco Morales - 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, BB, 5 K, 4 GB, 0 FB
Jonathan Guzman - 0 for 4, K
Rafael Marchan - 1 for 3, BB
Luis Garcia - 2 for 4, 2B, K
Seth Lancaster - 0 for 3, K, HBP
Carlos De La Cruz - 0 for 4, K
Cole Stobbe - 2 for 4, R, 2 2B, RBI, 2 K
Malvin Matos - 0 for 3, R, K
Jake Holmes - 1 for 3, RBI, 2 K

Both Victor Santos and Francisco Morales have been absolutely dominant of late. Morales is quietly moving into consideration as my #2 pitching prospect in the system. In his last 9 games, the 19 year old has gone: 32 IP, 17 H, 6 ER, 13 BB, 49 K. Just going to say that is very good.

Williamsport 9, Mahoning Valley 1

Junior Tejada - 4 IP, 3 H, 0 R, BB, 7 K, 2 GB, 2 FB
Gustavo Armas - 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 3 GB, 1 FB
Hunter Markwardt - 0 for 5, 2 K
Nate Fassnacht - 1 for 4, 2 R, 2B, RBI
Logan Simmons - 2 for 3, 2 R, BB, K
Juan Aparicio - 1 for 4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, K
McCarthy Tatum - 1 for 3, R, 3B, 2 RBI, K, HBP (fielding error)
Logan O’Hoppe - 1 for 3, HR, 2 RBI, BB
Rudy Rott - 0 for 3, RBI
Hunter Hearn - 1 for 3, R, 2B, BB, K, CS
Corbin Williams - 3 for 4, R, K, CS

Junior Tejada has been sharp to start the season. He owns a 2.92 ERA with 17 K’s and 3 BB’s in 12.1 innings. Logan O’Hoppe has struggled at the plate entering last night, hopefully hitting his first professional homer will get him on the right track!

GCL Phillies East 11, GCL Yankees West 6
GCL Phillies West 2, GCL Tigers East 0

Nothing too crazy to note in these games other than another rehab appearance from Connor Seabold who went: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 5 K. It shouldn’t be too long before he is back up with Reading or perhaps even Lehigh Valley when he is fully stretched out.
