The Tides were the lone winners on the farm last night.
Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 11, Omaha Storm Chasers (KCR) 1
Cameron Weston pitched four shutout innings. He allowed just three hits but walked four, which isn’t great. Roansy Contreras picked up the win with three hitless innings.
The offense had two big innings, the second and the ninth. Chadwick Tromp, Dylan Carlson, and Terrin Vavra had RBI hits as part of the five-run second. It was a big night for Carlson and Vavra, who had three hits each. Carlson and Vavra both also had hits in the four-run ninth inning, along with Dylan Beavers and Emmanuel Rivera.
Coby Mayo smacked an RBI double for his only hit of the game, but was thrown out trying to stretch it to a triple.
Double-A: Richmond Flying Squirrels (SFG) 1, Chesapeake Baysox 0
It was bad news for starter Patrick Reilly, who exited the game after just one inning with right elbow discomfort. Reilly is currently the #10 prospect on Camden Chat’s composite list and had gotten off to a good start this season. It’s hard to be optimistic about elbow soreness but hopefully this is nothing serious.
The bullpen picked up the slack in a big way with just one run on four hits over the final seven innings.
The Baysox managed just three hits in this game, two from first baseman Adam Retzbach. The third was from Creed Willems. Max Wagner walked twice.
High-A: Brooklyn Cyclones (NYM) 4, Aberdeen IronBirds 3
Griff O’Ferrall and Anderson De Los Santos homered to account for all three runs the IronBirds scored. They both had two hits in the game. Vance Honeycutt and Austin Overn both went 0-for-4. Leandro Arias walked twice.
Nestor German had a good start, going into the sixth inning for the first time this season. He pitched 5.2 innings with just two runs allowed. He struck out five and walked none. Juan Rojas took the loss with two runs allowed over his three innings pitched.
Low-A: Carolina Mudcats (MIL) 5, Delmarva Shorebirds 2
Jacob Cravey allowed three runs in five innings, the first earned runs he’s given up this season. Ben Vespi, little brother of Nick, pitched two innings with one hit and two strikeouts.
The offense had seven hits, evenly spread among seven different hitters. The Shorebirds scored a single run in each of the fifth and eighth innings. In the fifth, shortstop Maikol Hernández and catcher Cole Urman doubled with Urman’s hit knocking in Hernández. In the eighth, Kelvin Guerrero walked and later scored on a sac fly from Alfredo Velásquez.
