NOTES
It was a bullpen day for the Bisons. Zach Pop had a few good outings recently bit not on Thursday. He was charged with three runs on six hits. Nate Pearson came on to bail him out in his first appearance since he was demoted. He got five outs but walked three.
Just three hits for the Bisons. Orelvis was 1-3 with a walk and a strikeout.
In NH I noted last week that Chad Dallas gives up zero or one run, or five or six. No in betweens. Yesterday he gave up five in the first three innings. He hung in to go five innings. Juan Nunez threw two shutout innings in relief. The hard thrower has an interesting line. In 21.1 innings in AA the 27 year old has only given up nine hits. He has struck out 34! Hitters are hitting .129 off him. But there is a catch, 22 walks in 21.1 innings.
The Fisher Cats had to come back from a 5-1 deficit. Phil Clarke did his part, hitting two solo home runs. Damiano Palmegiani also had two hits and drove in two runs.
Josh Kasevich hit his third home run, and second in a week, a three run shot. He ended the game at 2-3 with four RBI. Devonte Brown had two doubles. New guy Jeffrey Wehler was 2-3 with a double and a walk.
Devereaux Harrison went six innings for the win. Everett scored three run off him with six hits.
Dunedin gave up the tying run in the eighth and the losing run in the ninth. Lazaro Estrada is being stretched out as a starter. He went four innings giving up one run.
The Jays had eight hits. Tucker Toman was the only Jay with two and the only Jay with an extra base hit, a double. Bryce Arnold had his first pro hit.
As mentioned in yesterdays chat, Aneudi Escanio is leading the DSL Jays in hitting, and is top ten in the DSL in OPS among those who have played at least ten games. Escanio is ninth in the team in at-bats with less than half the at-bats of the major prospects. He has had a couple of gaps of a week between appearances so perhaps he has had some injury issues.
