NOTES


It was a bad day to be a Bisons pitcher. All five pitchers used were scored upon. Worcester hit six home runs, two off starter Mitch White.


Orelvis Martinez hit his fourth AAA home run, Ernie Clement hit his tenth. Both had two hits in the game. Clement homered on both Saturday and Sunday. Orelvis homered Friday and Sunday.


Like Buffalo, the pitching in NH wasn't great. The starter Alejandro Melean did Ok, he just gave up a run in 3.2 innings. Watson followed and took the loss. Watson seems to be going backwards. He had a 3 something ERS in April and May, 5 plus in June, 9 plus in July and now over 16 in August.


NH had six hits. Five of them came in the third inning when NH scored their three runs.


Vancouver scored three runs with three solo home runs. Devonte Brown hit two and Cade Doughty one. Vancouver just had five hits, the other two hits came from Josh Kasevich.


Pat Gallagher started and went five innings, four hits, four K's and one run.


Jace Bohrofen, the Jays 6th round pick, has had one of the best starts to his career of the 2023 draftees. On Sunday he hit his third home run for Dunedin. He has played in three games there. This home run was a two run shot. He also walked twice as the pitchers get wary of him. Bryce Arnold was 3-4 and drove in two runs.


Rafael Ohashi started, went five innings, just two hits, four walks and two K's.
