The affiliates were 4-5 on the back of strong pitching down on the farm.

Syracuse 1 BUFFALO 3

Scott Copeland was excellent over six and two-thirds. He allowed a solitary unearned run on five strikeouts, two walks, and six hits. The Bisons collected just three hits and Dalton Pompey was at the heart of what little the AAA affiliate did generate at the plate. He scored twice, hit his way aboard once, and walked once. He also stole a base. Aaron Sanchez pitched a shutout inning in relief.

New Hampshire 3 PORTLAND 4

Ugly bottom half of the ninth doomed the Fisher Cats. The Red Sox affiliate scored all four runs in that fateful inning. No one was probably more disappointed than starter Jeff Hoffman. Hoffman pitched five and a third innings of shutout baseball. He walked two, allowed four hits, and struck out five. At the plate Matt Newman had two hits and Martin Medina hit a homerun.

Dunedin 3 BRADENTON 6

Jairo Labourt did not walk anyone. That’s cause for celebration, no? He pitched well over five innings of work. He struck out seven on eight hits and allowed just one earned run (two in total). J.D. Davis had two hits and Rowdy Tellez homered.

Bowling Green 0 LANSING 5

Chase Mallard pitched seven shutout innings of two-hit baseball. Mallard collected thirteen ground ball outs. D.J. Davis had two hits and a stolen base.

TRI-CITY 6 Vancouver 4

Carl Wise had two hits and two RBIs. Starter Jon Wandling struggled in three innings. He allowed six runs.

Bluefield 1 GREENEVILLE 8

Gabriel Clark had two hits and starter Dalton Rodrigues pitched five innings of one earned run ball.

GCL Phillies 3 GCL BLUE JAYS 6

Cliff Brantley had two hits and Reggie Pruitt had one in the leadoff spot. Pruitt also stole a bag.

GCL BLUE JAYS 8 GCL Phillies 2

Game two and another win. This time Juan Luis and Rodolfo Duran both had two hits. Starter Osman Gutierrez pitched six innings of two-run baseball.
