All of the affiliates lost on Saturday. Three of them lost easily and the opponents registered double digits in hits. New Hampshire were the exception, they lost a tight one 2-1. Shane Dawson and Taylor Cole pitched OK. Tim Locastro had the only home run, an inside the park job.
Luoisville 5 Buffalo 2
Casey Lawrence was called up to make the emergency start, thatnks to the Jays calling up a couple of starters. Lawrence gave up nine hits and four runs in 6.1 innings. The hitters just had four hits, all singles.
New Hampshire 1 Binghamton 2
Taylor Cole had a decent start, he went five innings and gave up two runs. However he did only have one K. He is improving but not back to last years form yet. Danny Barnes continued his recovery, he pitched two shutout innings.
The hitters had seven hits, Jon Berti was the only hitter with two, and the only one with an extra base hit.
Dunedin 2 Clearwater 8
Brad Allen was bombed for seven runs in four innings. Alberto Tirado pitched three innings and gave up a run. So far this season Tirado has pitched 14.2 innings and in those innings he has given up 15 hits and five walks with 17 K's. The K's are good but you would like to see more hit avoidance, he probably needs to start working the corners of the plate a bit more but that can take time for a guy who has had commad problems.
Just five hits for the Jays, two for Derrick Loveless including a triple.
Bowling Green 10 Lansing 4
Shane Dawson pitched OK, he went five innings, gave up one run and took the loss. He has four hits allowed and four K's. The guys who followed him were tattoed, Carlos Ramirez, one inning, four hits, Colton Turner, two innings, six hits, Phil Kish, one inning, four hits.
Lansing scored three in the ninth to make the score look a little better. Anthony Alford, Ryan McBroon, Justin Atkinson and Tim Locastro each had two hits. Locastro had an inside the park home run and three RBI.
