Four wins and two losses. Daniel Norris and Miguel Castro helped Buffalo win. Lansing and Vancouver won their afternoon games. Bluefield won with lots of hitting. Yeltsin Gudino continued his recent hot streak at the plate.

Dunedin lost despite four hits from Rowdy Tellez and three by Richard Urena. New Hampshire were blown out. The GCL Jays were rained out.



Syracuse 3 Buffalo 4

AA and Andrew Tinnish were in Buffalo to see the potential reinforcements, chief among them Daniel Norris. Norris immediately surrendered a run in the first on three straight singles. Norris settled down after that and held the Chiefs scoreless through five. A couple of doubles in the sixth scored a second run and chased Norris. Norris threw 61 strikes in 99 pitches, and gave up 8 hits and 2 walks in 5.1 innings. That wasn't the most efficient start. Miguel Castro pitched an inning with one ground ball single. That's three straight good relief appearances for Castro.

The Bisons were outhit 13-4 but they took advantage of two Trea Turner errors in the first inning. Dalton Pompey walked to start the game, then an error put two on. Matt Hague singled in a run, Caleb Gindl tripled in two more, and finally the second error scored run number four. Hague had two hits, Pompey had one, a triple.


New Hampshire 0 Harrisburg 13

Taylor Cole took it on the nose, nine hits and six runs in three innings. Luis Perez gave up a couple and Scott Barnes gave up five. Only Danny Barnes escaped unscathed.

The Fisher cats faced Richard Bleier who pitched for them and Buffalo last season and he held them to six hits. Roemen Fields had two. All of the six hits were singles and Harrisburg only walked one.


Dunedin 5 Bradenton 8

The Jays led 4-0 and 5-1 but let it slip away. Jeremy Gabryszwski gave up a run in the third and five in the fifth. Alonzo Gonzalez held the fort for a while but then put a couple of runners on in the eighth. Arik Sikula fanned the flames, letting the two inherited runners to score plus two of his own.

Dunedin scored four runs in the second inning. The highlight was three doubles by LB Dantzler, Mike Reeves and Derrick Loveless. Rowdy Tellez singled in Reeves in the fourth. Tellez was 4-5; Richard Urena was 3-5, Mitch Nay and Reeves had two hits each.


Bowling Green 2 Lansing 4

Lansing scored a run in each of the first two innings. In the first Chris Carlson walked and scored on a double from Martin Maldonado. In the second Dawel Lugo and Boomer Collins singled. A bunt and a sac fly gave the Lugnuts a 2-0 lead. Lansing doubled their lead in the fifth. Two walks and a hit by Davis Harris loaded the bases. Maldonado and Jason Lelblebijian both singled to drive in a run.

Starlyn Suriel dodged trouble all day, in seven innings he put eleven runners on base, nine hits, one walk and one hit batter. Two runs scored, two were eliminated on the bases and seven were left on base. Phil Kish got the two inning save.


Eugene 2 Vancouver 4

First round pick Jon Harris started for Vancouver. Harris breezed through the first but then walked the lead off hitter in the second and followed that up with a home run. He gave up a double in the third before leaving with one out. Eighth round pick Daniel Young followed and pitched 2.2 good innings to lower his ERA to below ten. Canadians Sean Ratcliffe and Andrew Case finished up.

Gunnar Heidt and JC Cardenas singled to lead off the game, a couple of ground balls later the C's led 1-0. Rolando Segovia doubled in a run in the second and in the third two runs scored on a bases loaded walk and a wild pitch. Heidt led the offense with two hits.


Bluefield 6 Greeneville 5

Greeneville scored three runs in the ninth to make it a nervous win for the Jays. The Astros scored two runs off Daniel Lietz in five innings to take a lead. Matt Smoral made his first appearance for the Jays and pitched a clean inning.

Freddy Rodriguez got the Jays going, he tripled and scored in the fifth and added a single in the seventh when the Jays scored their second run. The big inning for the Jays was the eighth when they scored four featuring a two run home run by Gabe Clark. Freddy Rodriguez was 2-3 with a walk. Juan Tejada, DJ McKnight and Yeltsin Gudino each had two hits. Something has clicked for Gudino over the last week, he is 12-26 in that span and has lifted his average to .242.


GCL Phillies 1 GCL Blue Jays 0 - suspended in first inning

These teams played one half inning before the heavens opened. Michael Lee, rehabbing from AA, only faced five hitters. The run was unearned due to a Reggie Pruitt error.

Let's give a shout out to Griffin Glaude, a 23 year old little rightie non-drafted free agent, tossing for the Gulf Coast Jays. Before today, Mr. Glaude had tossed 15 innings with 21 K's and three (count 'em) three hits! He did give up a hit today in another scoreless inning. Nah, he's never going to play for the Varsity but what a fun signing!

Aaron Sanchez on to pitch this afternoon for the Herd.  So far, the count is 8 balls and 5 strikes.

...but the next pitch results in a GIDP and he gets out of it.  He's still got a little bit of work to do on the control side of things.
