Daily Farm Round-Up: 4-12-13 

Despite the struggles the Padres are enduring at the major league level, you have got to love the pitching depth down on the farm. It seems like every night there’s a top prospect throwing 5 scoreless with 8 strikeouts. Tonight, it was Max Fried and Burch Smith who continued promising campaigns; they have absolutely dominated in their first two starts. The TinCaps blew the Captains out while the Missions lost a pitcher’s duel even though they allowed 0 earned runs. The Storm played a game they’d like to forget while the T-Pads were beat by the Grizzlies.

Hitting Prospect of the Day: Jonathan Galvez

Pitching Prospect of the Day: Max Fried/Burch Smith

 

Tucson Padres 4, Fresno Grizzlies 7

Daniel Robertson-CF: 2-5, RBI

Dean Anna-SS: 0-3, BB, K

Kyle Blanks-LF: 0-5, 3K

Cody Decker-1B: 0-4, K, Run scored

Jonathan Galvez-2B: 3-3, 2b, BB, Run scored

Rene Rivera-C: 2-3, BB, Run scored

Sean O’Sullivan-P: 1-1, 2b, 3RBI, BB, Run scored

Sean O’Sullivan-SP: 5.0IP, 9H, 5ER, 0BB, K, HR Allowed

Notes: Despite a poor start by Sean O’Sullivan where he allowed 5 runs in as many innings, he did hammer a bases clearing double to help offset the damage. Jonathan Galvez had a perfect day at the plate while, in stark contrast, Kyle Blanks went 0-5 with 3 strikeouts.

 

San Antonio Missions 1, Tulsa Drillers 2

Reymond Fuentes-RF: 1-4, HR(1), RBI, K Run scored

Rico Noel-CF: 1-4, 2b, K

Justin Miller-LF: 1-3, BB, K

Tommy Medica-1B: 0-3, BB, K

Jeudy Valdez-SS: 2-4

Rocky Gale-C: 0-3, K

Burch Smith-SP: 5.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 8K

Matt Stites-RP: 2.0 IP, H, R, 0ER, 2K (BS, 1)

Notes: Burch Smith mowed down the Drillers, but poor defense in the final two innings was the undoing of the Missions. Matt Stites was tagged with a blown save despite not allowing a single earned run. Reymond Fuentes led the game off with a rare home run that accounted for the entire Mission’s score. The loss evened the Missions record at 4-4.

 

Lake Elsinore Storm 0, Inland Empire 66ers 7

B.J. Guinn-SS: 0-4, 2K

Cory Spangenberg-2B: 1-4, 2b, 2K

Chase Headley-DH: 1-3, 2b

Austin Hedges-C: 0-4, K

Yeison Asencio-RF: 0-4, 3K

Lee Orr-1B: 1-2

Travis Jankowski-CF: 0-2, BB, K

Frank Garces-SP: 4.0 IP, 9H, 6R, 2ER, 0BB, 4K, HR Allowed (L, 1-1)

Notes: After the Storm shutout the 66ers last night, the 66ers responded with a shutout of their own. Chase Headley commenced his rehab from a fractured thumb tonight; as the DH he went 1-3 with a double, a line out, and a fly out. The Storm did not do any favors for Frank Garces; not only did they provide him with 0 run support, they committed 3 errors behind him.

 

Fort Wayne TinCaps 9, Lake County Captains 1

Mallex Smith-CF: 1-4, RBI, BB, 2K, Run scored

Maxx Tissenbaum-SS: 0-3, RBI, BB, K, 2 Runs scored

Jeremy Baltz-DH: 1-5, HR(3), 3RBI, K, Run scored

Corey Adamson-RF: 3-4, 2RBI, Run scored

Luis Tejada-1B: 2-4, 2K, Run scored

Alberth Martinez-LF: 1-4

Max Fried-SP: 5.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 2BB, 8K (W, 1-0)

Notes: The TinCaps top two starters, Joe Ross and Max Fried, have absolutely destroyed the competition. After Fried’s outstanding start tonight, the two have combined for 20 innings with only 1 earned run. The TinCaps are 4-0 in their starts. Jeremy Baltz continues to be a prolific force in the TinCaps lineup; he swatted his 3^rd home run and drove in his 10^th, 11^th, and 12^th runs in tonight. Fort Wayne is 5-3 on the season.
