In Corpus Christi, Jonathan Villar had 3 hits, a walk, stole 2 bases, drove in a run, and scored 3 times out of the lead-off spot as the Hooks manhandled the Missions, 8-3. On the front page of milb.com, there is a link for a video of Villar's home run on Sunday...............After a string of 9.2 scoreless innings over 5 appearances, Edgar Garcia had a rough time Monday. Garcia (1-3, 3.73) was stretched to 4 innings, and allowed 8 runs, 5 earned, on 6 hits-4 home runs- and 2 walks, and was the losing pitcher in the Naturals' wild 13-9, 10-inning loss to Tulsa...............In Mobile, the Bay Bears beat Will Savage and the Lookouts by the score of 4-2. Savage (12-6, 3.93) gave up 4 runs on 8 hits, the big blow a 3-run home run by Mobile's Ryan Wheeler. Will also walked 3 and threw 2 wild pitches, very unlike him...................In Jackson, Darren Byrd (3.10) threw 2 perfect innings for Huntsville, striking out 3 of his 6 hitters to record his 5th hold, in the Stars' 6-4 win over the Generals........In Charleston, Domingo Santana hit his 12th home run of the year, his 5th in 12 games with the Legends, but Lexington lost to West Virginia, 17-9. Santana is 18 for 50, that's .360 since the trade.
In Trenton, Travis d'Arnaud (.315) had 3 hits, including his 20th home run, and drove in 5 runs (76), to lead the New Hampshire Fisher Cats to a 10-4 win over the Thunder. Travis is having an MVP caliber season, in the top 6 in batting average, home runs and RBI in the league!!
Not sure if I mentioned: Joe Bisenius on the DL for Charlotte......Troy Hanzawa promoted from Clearwater to Reading over the weekend.........Bobby Korecky promoted to Las Vegas from New Hampshire.
In Scranton, the Yankees and Pawtucket split a doubleheader. Greg Golson (.264) was 2 for 5 with a walk, and scored a run for the Yankees...............In Allentown, the Syracuse Chiefs shut out the IronPigs in BOTH games of their doubleheader. In the opener, with Lehigh Valley managing just 2 hits, Scott Mathieson (2-2, 3.00) started and allowed Syracuse 4 runs on 8 hits over 5 innings. In the nightcap, the IronPigs got 6 hits, 1 a double by Freddy Galvis (.313). Andrew Carpenter (1.79) threw 2 scoreless innings of relief............In Akron, Reading dropped a 6-4 decision to the Aeros. Tuffy Gosewisch (.258) had 2 hits for Reading, and Derrick Mitchell drove in 3 runs, to take over the team lead with 76, 1 ahead of Matt Rizzotti.........In Clearwater, Jonathan Pettibone (10-10, 2.94) threw a great game for the Threshers, going 6 innings, allowing 2 runs, 1 earned, on just 2 hits and 1 walk, as the Threshers pounded Lakeland, 9-3. Brandon Tripp (.354) had 3 hits to lead the shark attack, and Darin Ruf drove in his 80th run of the season. The win is the 5th in a row for the Threshers and they now trail Dunedin by just 1.5 games. Don't forget the 2 teams play each other the final 4 game series of the season!!
In Sacramento, Kyle Drabek's season of frustration continues to deteriorate. Kyle (4-4, 7.41 in AAA) made the start for Las Vegas and was battered to the tune of 9 runs on 8 hits and 4 walks in just 3 innings of work in the River Cats' 13-1 win over the 51s. It is hard to believe this is the same guy who won 4 games for Toronto this past spring. Michael Taylor had a hit, an RBI and scored a run for the Cats.
