1. Victor Arias, Vancouver
Notes
Will Wagner, Joey Loperfido and Yohendrick Pinango all had a double and a single for Buffalo. Leo Jiménez singled and walked and RJ Schreck took one for the team. Lazaro Estrada suffered a tough loss, giving up a solo home run among two hits and two walks while striking out four over four innings. Hunter Gregory gave up three runs in two-thirds of an inning and Nick Sandlin could not get any of the four batters he faced and was charged with a run. Bobby Milacki and Dillon Tate finished up 3-1/3 scoreless innings with Milacki getting seven outs.
Cutter Coffey led the Vancouver attack with four hits, two of them doubles. Victor Arias had a leadoff home run among his three hits and added a base on balls and a base stolen. Arjun Nimmala homered and heard ball four twice. Aaron Parker and Eddie Micheletti went yard and was plunked. Sean Keys doubled and singled. Jackson Wentworth lasted just 2-2/3 innings, yielding three runs on four hits and three walks while punching out four. Bo Bonds stranded both of Wentworth's runners and tossed 1-1/3 innings with three punchouts to get the win. Edinson Batista did not give up a run, striking out three while getting the last seven outs of the game. The Canadians control their destiny as they need to win on Wednesday and Thursday to punch their playoff ticket or have Everett lose their two remaining games. Everett holds the tie-breaker.
Kendry Chirinos doubled twice, Jean Joseph singled twice and Bryce Arnold walked twice for Dunedin. Chirinos was also hit by a pitch. Manuel Beltre was on base twice with a single and a walk. Colby Holcome was charged with the loss, giving up a solo home run among two runs while surrendering three hits and two walks over five innings. Ryan Burr, Jay Schueler and Javen Coleman all put up a zero with Coleman fanning two of the four batters between them.
In the FCL, Drew Jemison homered and walked. JR Freethy and Maykel Minoso had the other hits. Conner Overton opened the game with two innings of one-run ball, matching three walks with three strikeouts and recording four groundball outs. Sann Omasako got the loss by serving up a three-run home run over four innings.
In the Dominican, Yeicer Crespo homered and singled and Darwin Nuñez also had a two-hit game and drew a walk. JT Bain had an RBI double and a walk and Christoper Polanco got a free pass. Juan Ramirez had the best pitching line by stranding the bases loaded and recording 1-1/3 shutout innings of one-hit ball with two strikeouts for the DSL Blues squad. The DSL Blue Jays Reds squad were nearly no-hit. Randy Soto had the lone base knock and heard ball four twice. Elaineiker Coronado drew his 18th walk and struck out for just the second time in 11 games this season. Kennew Blanco was 0-for-4.
