Eddie's Farm: August 3

Round Rock

Nashville took a 2-0 lead, Round Rock tied it up at 2-2, and then Nashville promptly responded with two more in the 6th for the 4-2 win. Yorman Bazardo allowed 8H/4ER, 5K:1BB, 2WP in 5.2IP. And then the bullpen of Bayliss, Corcoran, and Daigle threw 2.1IP of perfect relief. Brian Bogusevic was 3x3 with a stolen base and a walk, Jack Shuck was 2x3 with 2BB, and German Duran was 2x4 with a double. Shuck has five hits in 11ABs since his 0x5 debut.

Man of the Match: Brian Bogusevic

Corpus

Corpus was in control for pretty much all of the game in their 11-5 win over San Antonio. Dallas Keuchel threw 6IP, 3H/2ER, 3K:1BB for his first win at Double-A. Jailen Peguero threw two perfect innings. Arcenio Leon came on to finish out the 9th, but gave a up 1H/3ER, 3BB, so Erick Abreu had to close it out. Michael Affronti was 4x4 with a walk and 5RBI on the night. Freddy Parejo, J.D. Martinez (2BB), Jon Gaston (RBI), and Kody Kirkland all had two hits each. Koby Clemens - back for the first time since that hammy injury - was 0x3 with two sac flies and 2RBI.

Man of the Match: Michael Affronti

Lancaster

This was a tight game throughout, but Lancaster was able to withstand a two-run rally in the 9th to defeat Inland Empire 9-8. Robby Donovan allowed 6H/4ER, 4K:4BB, 2WP in 5IP, while Brian Wabick allowed 3H/2ER, 1K:1BB in 1IP. Jose Trinidad allowed 2BB and 2ER, helped by Berner allowing both inherited runners to score, with 2H/0ER in 1IP.

Lexington

Hagerstown took a 3-0 lead after the first, Lexington scored the next four for a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the third, where the Hagerstown...Smiling Baseballs (according to their logo) got four in the bottom of the inning to snag the 8-5 win. Luis Cruz allowed 6H/7R (4ER), 4K:1BB in 4IP - oh yeah, there were errors by Jonathan Meyer, Brian Kemp, Rene Garcia, and Jimmy Paredes (his 37th error). Brad Dydalewicz gave up a hit and three walks in 3IP (1ER), and Mike Schurz walked one in an otherwise uneventful inning. Kody Hinze was 3x4, with his 15th homer and was a triple short of the cycle and 2RBI. Jimmy Paredes and Our Boy Aaron Bray had two hits each, with Jake Goebbert and Renzo Tello adding RBIs.

Man of the Match: Kody Hinze.

Tri-City

Tri-City took a 4-2 lead after four innings, and held in for a 5-3 win over Vermont. Since having their game against Connecticut called for rain, the ValleyCats are 6-4. Alex Sogard got the start, allowing 4H/2ER, 2K:0BB, WP in 3.1IP. Murillo Gouvea got the win with 2.2IP, 3H/1ER, 2K:1BB.

Enrique Hernandez, Tyler Burnett (HR), and Mike Kvasnicka were each 2x4. The top four spots in the lineup provided 4RBI.

Man of the Match: Tyler Burnett.

Greeneville

Greeneville never led in the game, down 3-0, then 3-1, then 4-1, then 4-3 after the 7th, and Johnson City added a comfort run, winning 5-3. Travis Smink took the loss with 2.2IP, 5H/3ER, 3K:1BB. Gabe Garcia struck out three in 2IP, while Jeiler Castillo and Brian Streilein each gave up a run - with Cole's hit allowing Streilein's run. Rafael Valenzuela hit his first homer (striking out three times in his other ABs), and Chris Wallace was 1x2 with an RBI and a walk.

Man of the Match: Uhhh...Rafael Valenzuela?

GCL Astros

The GCL Cardinals almost blanked the GCL Astros, giving up the run in the 9th inning, for a 6-1 win. Danilo Del Rio took the loss, allowing 4IP, 4H/3ER, 2K:1BB, 2WP. B.J.
