Astros Minor League Recaps

Results for Thursday, May 24, 2018

Swept. No matter... the Houston Rockets are one win away from the NBA Finals.

Reno 4, Fresno 3 in 10 innings

W- Jake Barrett (2-0)
L- James Hoyt (0-2)

Fresno home runs: None.

Fresno and Reno both traded innings in which they either scored one run or two runs. But... the Aces managed to get their, um... leadoff runner home in the first extra frame.

The Grizz got two in the 4th on an Alejandro Garcia RBI single and a sac fly from Cody Bohanek. Drew Ferguson also hit a sac fly in the 7th.

In his AAA debut, Brock Dykxhoorn went six innings and allowed a run on four hits while striking out five. Matt Ramsey allowed two runs on four hits (solo homer), walked two, and struck out three in 1.1 innings. Brendan McCurry followed with 1.2 perfect innings, striking out one. James Hoyt allowed the go-ahead run on a sac fly, walked one, and struck out one in the 10th.

The Grizzlies welcome El Paso to the Central Valley this weekend. Cy Sneed will get the start in game one and he'll face Walker Lockett at 7:05 Pacific.

Springfield 4, Corpus Christi 0 in 10 innings


W- Landon Beck (2-1)
L- Erasmo Pinales (0-2)

CC home runs: None.

A forgettable night for the Hooks as they were kept off the scoreboard for ten innings.

It was not a forgettable night for Corbin Martin, however. He allowed just two singles and struck out nine over 7.2 shutout innings. Unfortunately, the Corpus bullpen cracked. Erasmo Pinales pitched 1.2 innings and allowed four runs (one earned, two inherited runners charged to him) on five hits, walked one, and struck out one. Carlos Sierra got the last two outs of the 10th via strikeout, but he also allowed a couple of RBI singles.

Randy César went 3-4 with a double to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. Josh Rojas finished 2-4.

This weekend, it's a World Series rematch... in the Texas League. Corpus welcomes the Tulsa Drillers to Whataburger Field for the weekend.  First pitch is 7:05.

Winston-Salem 3, Buies Creek 1

W- Dylan Cease (6-2)
L- Brett Adcock (3-2)
S- Kyle Kubat (1)

BC home runs: None.

Both teams had four hits, but the Dash had more in the column that matters most.

Brett Adcock went 3.2 innings and allowed three runs on four hits, walked three and struck out two. Jesús Balaguer was the first man out of the Buies Creek bullpen and inherited a bases-loaded situation, which he extracted Adcock from without any damage. Balaguer and Colin McKee combined to throw 4.1 perfect innings out of the bullpen; Balaguer struck out two in 3.1 innings and McKee struck out one in a 1-2-3 8th.

Abraham Toro scored the Carolina Stros' only run when Troy Sieber grounded out in the 4th.

Buies Creek welcomes the Lynchburg Hillcats to Campbell U for a weekend series. First pitch is at 6:00 Eastern.

Wisconsin 11, Quad Cities 1

W- Alec Bettinger (4-3)
L- Enoli Paredes (0-2)
S- Gabe Friese (4)

QC home runs: Colton Shaver (4, solo in 5th)

The Banditos got buried by a nine-run 8th inning.

Colton Shaver's solo blast in the 5th was Quad Cities' only scoring play. Jonathan Arauz finished 2-4 and he has turned a four-game hitless streak into a four-game hitting streak.

César Rosado went five innings and allowed a run on six hits, walked one, and struck out four. The Banditos bullpen struggled... and I think I'll leave it at that.

Peter Solomon will start the first game in a four-game series against Peoria at 6:35. He'll take on Evan Guillory.
