Phillies MLR 8/3/22: Plassmeyer strikes out 11, Jean Segura’s last rehab start?

Lehigh Valley 6, Syracuse 1

Michael Plassmeyer - 7 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 11 K, HR, 3 GB, 4 FB
Sam Coonrod - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, K
Jean Segura - 1 for 4, R, BB, SB
Donny Sands - 1 for 2, 2 R, 2 BB, K (passed ball)
Nick Maton - 1 for 3, R, BB
Dalton Guthrie - 1 for 4, 2B, 2 RBI, K
Scott Kingery - 0 for 2, 2 BB, K, CS

What got into Plassmeyer? I guess we shouldn’t complain. That was his 3rd win with the IronPigs this season. Sam Coonrod finally has a clean inning, though where he fits into the current bullpen will be interesting. Jean Segura still rehabbing, though there are rumors he will rejoin the Phillies today. Donny Sands now batting .320 on the season.

Reading 12, Hartford 10

Johan Rojas - 3 for 5, 3 R, 2B, 3B, K
Vito Friscia - 1 for 4, R, 2B, BB, 2 K (passed ball)
Carlos De La Cruz - 0 for 4, R, RBI, BB, 3 K

This was a bullpen game for the Fightins which looked a lot closer than it actually was. Hartford put up a 5-spot in the 9th inning where their comeback would fall short. Johan Rojas with another multi-hit game and has done quite well for himself since being promoted to AA.

Hudson Valley 7, Jersey Shore 2

Rafeal Marcano - 4.1 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 3 BB, 3 K, HR, 2 GB, 3 FB
Marcus Lee Sang - 1 for 4, 2B, 2 K
Luis Garcia - 0 for 4, K
Ethan Wilson - 1 for 4, R, 2B, 2 K
Casey Martin - 1 for 4

Marcano’s 3rd loss with the BlueClaws and he is sporting a 7.52 ERA in 20.1 innings. The offense got their only two runs in the 9th inning via a 2-run HR from Herbert Iser. Otherwise, the offense had just 7 hits and were 1 for 7 with RISP.
