The Jays score 6 in the 9th to win and you want to know about the minor leagues??
The affiliates were 1-3, with two ugly losses.
Syracuse 0 at Toledo 6
John Thomson did not have a successful start for the Chiefs. He gave up all 6 runs in 4.2 innings. He struck out 4, walked 4 and gave up 7 hits. Chad Mottola had 2 of the 6 Syracuse hits on the night.
New Hampshire 1 at Akron 8
Rob Cosby hit a solo HR while the rest of the team managed just three singles. Yusaku Iriki took his lumps on the mound giving up 5 runs in just two innings.
Dunedin 9 at Daytona 5
The D-Jays pounded out 16 hits last night. Hetherington and Kyle Phillips each hit homers. Hetherington also had a single and 2 walks out of the leadoff spot. Chad Cota and Brian Jeroloman each had 3 hits. Jeroloman has one of the more unique batting lines I've seen: .261/.432/.343. It'll be interesting to see how he progresses when pitchers have a better ability to throw strikes at higher levels.
Orlando Trias got the start and pitched well enough to win: 5.1 innings and 3 runs allowed. He walked 5, gave up 5 hits while striking out 4.
Lansing 4 at Dayton 5
Travis Snider was in a bit of a mini-slump recent, going 7-32 in the 9 games prior to last night. Perhaps he'll go on another tear after going 3-5 with a double last night. Matt Liuzza had a solo home run.
Rey Gonzalez started for the Nuts gave up 3 earned runs in 6 innings. He struck out 1 and walked 1 while giving up 8 hits.
3 Stars!
