Minor League Recap - 5/11/07
Triple A - Las Vegas lost 18-5
Tony Abreu - 0 for 3, 2 BB, K
Matt Kemp - 1 for 5, R, 2 K's, E
James Loney - 1 for 4, 2B, R, BB
Greg Miller - 0.1 IP, 0 Hits, 5 ER, 4 BB, 0 K's, Hit Batter, Balk, 2 WP
Hong Chih Kuo - 2 IP, Hit, 0 R, BB, 2 K's
It's been remarkably sad how many steps backward Greg Miller has taken over his last few starts. Ever since that relief outing, Miller hasnt been able to throw strikes. He's walked an astounding 24 batters in his last 10.2 innings, while giving up 14 earned runs. Like Miller, the season is still young, so hopefully he can turn it around. Hong Chih Kuo, on the other hand, had a fine outing and will probably return to starting. At the plate, Abreu drew his 10th and 11th walks of the season. Kemp committed his 2nd error and Loney hit his 9th double. The 51's look to reverse their fortunes with a new series against New Orleans, starting tomorrow night at 7:11pm.

Double A - Jacksonville lost 2-1
Chin Lung Hu - 2 for 3, R, BB
Xavier Paul - 0 for 2, RBI, BB, K
Anthony Raglani - 0 for 4, 3 K's
Zach Hammes - 2 IP, 3 Hits, ER, 0 BB, K
The Suns scored in the first and William Juarez pitched well, but Hammes tasted defeat for the first time this season as Jacksonville lost a close one. For Hammes, it was his 1st loss this season, allowing his 1st run of the season. Juarez allowed just a solo HR over 7 while striking out 6 without issuing a walk. Hu's multi-hit effort raised his average back to .375 while drawing his 6th walk. If I have one criticism of Hu thus far, it's been his lack of free passes. Xavier Paul, on the other hand, drew his 15th, though he's also struck out 41 times with only 3 HR. Raglani had a forgettable night, striking out 3 times himself. While his average is down to .250, his OPS is still .936. Jacksonville heads to Alabama for a 5 game series with Mobile, starting tomorrow at 4:05pm.

High A - Inland Empire won 6-1
Ivan De Jesus Jr - 0 for 3, BB
Blake DeWitt - 2 for 5, Solo HR (3), RBI, R, K
Lucas May - 1 for 5, Solo HR (9), RBI, R
Travis Denker - 1 for 4, 2 R, BB, E
Russell Mitchell - 2 for 5, HR (2), 2 RBI, 2 R
James McDonald - 7 IP, 3 Hits, 0 R, 3 BB, 6 K's
A gem from McDonald and 3 HR in the 7th sealed the deal for the 66ers. McDonald, who won his 2nd game this season, has allowed just 3 ER in his last 24 innings with 6 walks and 26 strikeouts. His ERA is 3.47 on the year and he's holding opposing hitters to a .203 batting average. The scoring started in the 4th, when a Lucas May groundout was followed by a Travis Denker walk. Russell Mitchell singled and Anthony Harper struck out. With 2 gone and runners on 1st and 2nd, James Tomlin drew a walk to load the bases. Adam Godwin then hit a single to score a run and another man crossed the plate on a wild pitch. Then in the 7th, Ivan De Jesus Jr grounded out to lead off the inning. But DeWitt and May homered back to back to double the 66ers' lead. Travis Denker's single was followed by a 2 run shot from Russell Mitchell. Visalia managed to score once in the 9th but they never really had a chance. The Empire hosts Visalia again tomorrow night at 7pm.

Low A - Great Lakes won 6-5
Preston Mattingly - 1 for 3, R, BB, K
Carlos Santana - 1 for 4, RBI, K, E
Scott Van Slyke - 0 for 2, R, 2 BB, K
It was a real nailbiter, as the lead changed hands 4 times before it was over. Wisconsin scored 3 in the 3rd, before the Loons plated a pair in the 4th and again in the 5th to take a 4-3 advantage. But the Rattlers scored single runs in the 6th and 7th to take back a 5-4 lead. No scoring occured in the 8th and Great Lakes managed to keep Wisconsin from scoring in the top of the 9th. With 3 outs left, Scott Van Slyke drew a leadoff walk, representing the tying run. A pitching change was followed by a sacrifice bunt that landed Van Slyke on 2nd. Bridget Hunt followed with an RBI single that tied the game. But after Matt Berezay struck out, the Loons had one last chance. Adolfo Gonzalez stepped to the plate with a chance to win the game. Bridger Hunt, trying to improve his chance of scoring, stole second. And when Gonzalez hit a grounder to 3rd, it appeared the game was headed to extra innings. But a throwing error scored Hunt and Great Lakes won. Josh Bell and Trayvon Robinson had the night off. Mattingly raised his average to .196. Santana committed his 4th error of the season. Adam Godwin threw out 2 runners. The Loons head to West Michigan for a pair starting tomorrow at 3:35pm.
