Phillies MLR 8/17/21: Bryson Stott and Mickey Moniak continue to hit, Sean Coonrod rehabs in AAA

Rochester 8, Lehigh Valley 4

Mark Appel - 1 IP, 3 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, K, HR
Sean Coonrod - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R
Braeden Ogle - 1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB
Freddy Galvis - 0 for 3, K
Nick Maton - 1 for 5, 2B, 2 K
Jorge Bonifacio - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K
Mickey Moniak - 2 for 4, R, RBI, K
Matt Vierling - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K
Rafael Marchan - 0 for 4, R, K
Darick Hall - 1 for 4, HR, 3 RBI
Arquimedes Gamboa - 0 for 2, BB, K

Appel threw 34 pitches in the 1st inning and didn’t return to the game. It was his 3rd AAA loss and was his worst outing of the season. Sean Coonrod on rehab pitching a clean inning. He would clearly be a huge boon for the Phillies bullpen when he returns. The offense, despite the 4 runs, only had 5 hits in the game. Darick Hall hit his 11th HR of the season, a 3-run blast in the 4th inning. Mickey Moniak continues to hit, get on base and field a position to spite a certain major league manager.

Reading 3, Bowie 2

Tyler Phillips - 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 K, 2 GB, 0 FB (pickoff error)
Josh Hendrickson - 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 4 GB, 4 FB
Madison Stokes - 1 for 4, R, 2B, K
Bryson Stott - 2 for 4, R, RBI, K
Jhailyn Ortiz - 1 for 3, BB, 2 K
Josh Stephen - 2 for 4, R, RBI

Waiver claim Tyler Phillips makes his org debut with a solid outing. Odds are he is with LHV sooner than later. Despite Kyle Dohy giving up the tying run in the top of the 8th, Josh Stephen would single in Stott in the bottom of the 9th for a walk-off victory. Speaking of Stott, he’s hitting the ball quite well in August, slashing .339/.362/.589 with 3 homers in 56 at-bats.

Asheville 3, Jersey Shore 1

Jhordany Mezquita - 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB, 8 K, HR, HBP, 3 GB, 5 FB
Adam Haseley - 1 for 4, 2B, K
DJ Stewart - 0 for 3, K
Logan O’Hoppe - 0 for 4
Jonathan Guzman - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K, SB
Vito Friscia - 1 for 4, 2B, K
Nicolas Torres - 1 for 3, RBI, BB, K

Mezquita had his best start of his pro career with career-highs in strikeouts and innings pitched in a game. Sadly, the BlueClaws’ offense ensured that he would earn is 6th loss of the season with going 1 for 9 with RISP. Adam Haseley moves up the ranks in his rehab from both his time on the restricted list and COVID infection. Hunter Markwardt also returned to action in this game (he struck out in all 4 appearances).

Fernando Lozano - 4.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, HR, HBP, 7 GB, 1 FB
Vince Velasquez - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 3 K
Gabriel Cotto - 4 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 2 ER, BB, 5 K, 2 WP, HBP, 4 GB, 4 FB
Casey Martin - 1 for 4, HR, 3 RBI, BB
Luis Garcia - 0 for 6, 3 K (fielding error)
Johan Rojas - 1 for 9, 2B, RBI, BB, 4 K
Felix Reyes - 2 for 4, R
Kervin Pichardo - 1 for 3, R, RBI, BB, K
Rixon Wingrove - 0 for 3, 2 K, HBP (two fielding errors)
TJ Rumfield - 0 for 3, BB
Juan Aparicio - 2 for 4, RBI, BB, 2 K
Jadiel Sanchez - 2 for 4, K
Ethan Wilson - 0 for 6, K
Marcus Lee Sang - 1 for 3, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, K
Jared Carr - 2 for 4, 2 2B, HBP

Vince Velasquez is “rehabbing” if that interests you at all. Would be a shame if he had a setback. Casey Martin hit his 4th pro homer in the second game of the doubleheader. All-around, these games were bad ones. Forget about it and move on.
