Minor League Recap - 5/17/07
Triple A - Las Vegas won 6-1
Tony Abreu - 1 for 4, 3B, RBI, R, BB, K
James Loney - 1 for 4, BB, K
Greg Miller - 2 IP, Hit, 0 R, BB, K
Yhency Brazoban - 1 IP, 0 Hits, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's
Starter Miguel Pinango made his 2nd appearance in Triple A and earned his 2nd win. He allowed 1 run on a solo homer, while walking 4 and striking out 3 in 6 innings. Greg Miller, who has struggled lately, came in for a 2 inning stint and did much better than he has been. While he allowed a leadoff double, wild pitched the runner to 3rd and walked the next batter, Miller calmed down by striking out the next guy and inducing an inning ending double play. He began his 2nd inning by hitting the leadoff batter, but got another double play and a grounder to short. He made 26 pitches in 2 innings, 15 of which were strikes. Brazoban came in to close it out and worked a perfect 9th. Abreu and Loney each had a hit and a walk, with Abreu collecting his 4th triple of the year. He's batting .346 while Loney is at .258. Matt Kemp did not play. Vegas continues their series with Portland tomorrow at 7:05pm.

Double A - Jacksonville won 3-1
Chin Lung Hu - 2 for 4, 2B, 2 R
Xavier Paul - 0 for 3
Cory Dunlap - 2 for 4, HR (3), 2 RBI, R
Anthony Raglani - 0 for 2, BB, K
Justin Orenduff - 5 IP, 5 Hits, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K's
It was a pitcher's duel for most of the night. Orenduff, making his 6th start of the year, worked a season long 5 shutout innings as he lowered his ERA to 2.49. The Suns gave him a lead to work with in the 4th, when Chin Lung Hu's single was followed by a Dunlap hit and a sac fly from Marshall McDougall. Unfortunately, Orenduff would get a no-decision when reliever Brian Akin allowed a solo HR to Brad McCann, tying the game at 1 a piece. Carolina would threaten late, as they led off the 8th with back to back singles before Luis Gonzalez replaced Akin and retired the next 3 batters. Then in the top of the 9th, Gonzalez struck out the leadoff man and allowed a 1 out single. The next batter popped out but another single was followed by a walk to load the bases. But Gonzo pulled through, striking out the last batter to end the threat. In the bottom of the 9th, Chin Lung Hu led off with a double, his 17th of the season. Xavier Paul sacrificed him to 3rd and it came down to Cory Dunlap to get him in. All the Suns needed was a fly ball and they got one that carried over the left field fence as C Diddy hit an opposite field game winning HR. Dunlap's suspension seems to have had a positive effect, as he's gone 8 for 16 since his return. Hu raised his average to .361, while Paul and Raglani's hitless efforts lowered their marks to .291 and .250 respectively. Jacksonville hopes to build off its late inning heroics tomorrow at 4:05pm.

High A - Inland Empire won 5-0
Jamie Hoffman - 1 for 3, RBI, R, K
Lucas May - 0 for 4
Russell Mitchell - 1 for 4, 3B, 2 RBI, R, K
Travis Denker - 1 for 3, RBI, BB
Ivan De Jesus Jr - 0 for 3, BB
Blake DeWitt - 1 for 4, R, 2 K's
Another brilliant pitching performance led to the 66ers' second shutout victory in a row. Cory Wade, who is now a perfect 6-0 on the season, allowed just 4 hits and no walks over 6.1 innings while striking out 5. This was Wade's 2nd start of the year. The Empire's offense struck early, tallying 3 runs in the first inning and adding single scores in the 2nd and 7th innings. Hoffman's average stands at .331, while Mitchell clubbed his 2nd triple of the year. DeWitt and Denker had a hit a piece, though Blake is hitting .221 while Travis is hitting .347. May continues his downward spiral, hitting .189 in his last 10 contests. The Empire hits the road for an 8 game road trip, heading to Modesto for 3 starting tomorrow at 7:05pm.

Low A - Great Lakes lost 6-3
Trayvon Robinson - 1 for 4, 3B, RBI, R, K
Josh Bell - 1 for 3, BB, K
Preston Mattingly - 0 for 4, 4 K's
Scott Van Slyke - 3 for 4, 2 2B's, RBI, R
Josh Wall - 3.1 IP, 7 Hits, 6 ER, 4 BB, K
Wall walked a season high 4 in a season low 3.1 innings as he lost his 5th decision. This was Wall's worst outing since his season debut, in which he also walked more than he struck out. His strikeout to walk ratio is still 30:11. However, his ERA is up to 5.56. Mattingly had another poor showing at the plate, but interestingly enough, was playing 2nd base. It seems the Dodgers just might have finally given in to the feeling that Mattingly isnt going to be a shortstop. Bell drew yet another walk, and is actually hitting .290 with 5 free passes in his last 10 games. Scott Van Slyke is also on the upswing, hitting .324 in his last 10 with 3 doubles. Robinson smacked his 1st triple of the year but is still batting just .242. The Loons play game 2 of their 10 game road trip tomorrow at 3:30pm.
