We’re almost at the point where you open this page to simply see if Felix Reyes hit another home run. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Buffalo 6, Lehigh Valley 5
Liover Peguero led the way for the Ironpigs, going three for four with a double and an RBI, but shoddy middle relief by Ryan Cusick gave this one to Buffalo. Dylan Carlson had two hits at the top of the order, basically the only life he has shown really since signing a minor league deal with the team in the hopes of cracking the outfield
mix. Probably not going to happen.
Oh, and Reyes didn’t homer. Bummer.
Harrisburg 7, Reading 5
Bryan Rincon made his return from the injured list and hit a home run for the Fightin’ Phils, but it wasn’t enough as the Nationals’ affiliate beat up on a Reading bullpen to take the game. Adam Seminaris struck out ten in five innings for Reading, but he also allowed four in those five innings. The Reading offense struck out nine times in this one.
Frederick 3, Jersey Shore 1
Even with center fielder Carter Mathison going three for three and Luis Caucito also chipping in with two hits and an RBI, it was a meager performance for the rest of the offense as they scored a lone run and lost to the keys. The bright spot of the game was the pitching of Luke Gabrysh, who threw five solid, shutout innings, allowing one baserunner on a single hit and striking out six.
Clearwater 6, Dunedin 5
Robert Phelps has been swinging a hot bat with the Threshers and Saturday night was no different. Phelps collected three hits, which included a home run and a double, leading Clearwater to a victory. Will Vierling also had three hits on the evening, one his being a double. The rehabbing Pedro Leon also homered, his on a back to back with Phelps.
The performances helped Ramon Marquez, who started and threw 4 1/3 innings, giving up three runs (one earned) on only three hits, striking out seven and walking one batter. A solid performance from an interesting arm.
