It was another clean sweep for the Dodgers’ minor league affiliates, with a blowout win in Triple-A and a tight victory in Double-A.

Player of the day

Zyhir Hope had himself a game, with four hits, a home run, a stolen base, and a runner thrown out at home plate. For all that goodness, he is knighted POTD.

Triple-A Oklahoma City

Justin Dean scored five runs, Alex Freeland drove in six runs, and Chuckie Robinson got four hits as the Comets put up gaudy numbers to defeat the Reno Aces (Diamondbacks)

AD

16-3. Matt Sauer started the game for the Comets and got the win, pitching six innings and giving up three runs. Blake Treinen pitched another perfect inning. Now that he has pitched on two consecutive days, expect his next appearance to be with the Dodgers. Nick Frasso, ranked by MLB Pipeline as the Dodgers’ 28th best prospect, pitched a perfect inning with two strikeouts.


Double-A Tulsa

Consensus top Dodgers pitching prospect Jackson Ferris allowed only one run, and four relievers held the Springfield Cardinals scoreless as the Tulsa Drillers pulled out a 2-1 victory. It looked like the Drillers might get shut out for the second game in a row, but Kyle Nevin cashed in a triple by Kole Myers with one out in the eighth inning with a sacrifice fly, and the game went into extra innings. Myers then singled in designated runner Taylor Young with a game-winning, walk-off single.


High-A Great Lakes

The Loons defeated the Belois Sky Carp (Marlins) 9-2. Eriq Swan pitched a solid game in notching his fourth win, lasting six innings and giving up two runs on three hits, while striking out eight. Zyhir Hope hit his tenth home run, and stole his 14th base. Elijah Hainline drove three runs for the Loons.

Low-A Rancho Cucamonga

Despite getting outhit 13-5 and making four fielding errors, the Quakes pulled out a 7-6 victory over the Visalia Rawhide (Diamondbacks) in eleven innings. The Quakes tied the game with a three-run eighth inning, Jaron Elkins doubled to score two, and Jose Meza drove in Elkins with a sacrifice fly. Both teams exchanged two-run innings in the tenth, setting up Angel Diaz, whose sacrifice fly scored Jose Meza for the win.
