Notes
Josh Rivera led the Herd with three hits, including a double. Two-hit efforts were turned in by Michael Stefanic, RJ Schreck and Leo Jiménez with the latter drawing two walks and the former drawing one apiece. Lazaro Estrada gave up three runs, including a home run, on five hits but struck out seven with zero walks over four innings. Trenton Wallace was whacked for five runs on five hits over 1⅓ innings to take the loss but he did fan three with no BBs (look at me bustin’ a rhyme, yo!). Hayden Juenger gave up the other two runs over an inning. Ryan Jennings stranded two runners and offset a hit and a walk by punching out two batters over 1⅔ stanzas.
Cade Doughty doubled and walked to highlight a 3-for-3 night. Gabby Martinez mashed a two-run homer and Je’Von Ward went yard (that doesn’t rhyme but shouldn’t it?) for a three-run shot. Victor Arias had a double, an RBI single and a sacrifice fly. Grant Rogers gave up four runs in six innings but three runs were earned, giving him a quality start, even though he committed the error. Rogers scattered nine hits but struck out three with no walks issued. Hunter Gregory gave up a dinger among two runs before Conor Larkin closed it out by getting the final four outs, stranding a runner and overcoming a hit and a hit by pitch.
Cutter Coffey homered and Bryce Arnold and Carter Cunningham each contributed a double. Arnold was also hit by a pitch. Edward Duran had a pair of singles and Arjun Nimmala walked twice. Monty's Mounties were 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left 12 men on base. Chris McElvain suffered the loss by allowing four runs on five hits, including a dinger, with a 2-1 K/BB total over three innings. Jonathan Todd stranded two of three runners and struck out two, working around two hits and two walks in 1⅔ scoreless frames.
RJ Schreck had one of three hits for Dunedin in the resumption of a suspended game from June 13. Tucker Toman had a double. Silvano Hechavarria surrendered just four hits and a walk and struck out three over four shutout stanzas. Mason Olson took the loss by giving up two runs in the eighth. In the second game, Josh Kasevich went 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI and Maddox Latta also had two knocks. Tucker Toman, Eric Snow and Austin Smith had the other base hits. Holden Wilkerson was charged with three runs on five hits and a walk in four innings that included four punchouts.
In the DSL, the Blue Jays got base hits from Yeicer Crespo, Fabian Gonzalez and Darwin Nuñez. Angel Guzman walked and stole a base. Cristopher Polanco took one for the team. José Andrades took the loss by allowing one run on four hits and an HBP over four innings but struck out three. Rodrigo Ramirez put up three zeroes of two-hit ball, ringing up four batters. The Red Jays were paced by Juan Sánchez, who finished a homer shy of the cycle and Pascual Archila doubled twice and had the walkoff RBI single. Nicolas Vergara had a pair of hits and Elaineiker Coronado singled and heard ball four three times. Daniel De La Cruz pitched 2⅔ innings of one-hit ball and struck out two. Luis Victorino recorded the final out of the top of the ninth to get the win.
