Daily Farm Round Up: 5-27-13
For the second night in a row, Fort Wayne beat the Hot Rods by one run as Jeremy Baltz was a perfect 4-4 in the game. Robbie Erlin has a fantastic start for Tucson; the T-Pads shutdown the River Cats 2-0. Keyvius Sampson also had a night to remember as his quality start led the Missions past the Naturals. Despite a solid hitting performance, Lake Elsinore was unable to beat the Mavericks.

Notes: One day after allowing the River Cats to score 20 runs, the T-Pads shut them out due largely in part by Robbie Erlin’s dominating start. Erlin allowed only 2 hits over 7 innings while striking out 11. Surprisingly, this start marked Erlin’s first quality start of the year. After 8 starts with Tucson, his ERA stands at 3.79. Cameron Maybin continued his rehab by smacking a double. He has collected 1 hit in all 3 games he’s played in.

Notes: Keyvius Sampson turned in his best start of the year by far. Sampson set a season-high in innings pitched with 7 and only allowed 1 run to score. He lowered his ERA with the Missions to 3.23 over 6 starts. Reymond Fuentes hit his 4th home run of the season; his career high in home runs is 5, and he had 4 home runs with San Antonio in 2012. He has matched that same mark in 300 less AB’s.

Justin Miller has played with 3 different levels this year; he’s seen time at Tucson, San Antonio, and Lake Elsinore. So far, he has not fared with the Storm as he’s hitting just .192. Last year he tore it up with Lake Elsinore as he hit .311 with 12 home runs and 71 RBI over 92 games.
Fort Wayne TinCaps 5, Bowling Green Hot Rods 4
Mallex Smith-CF: 1-3, 2BB, Run scored
Alberth Martinez-LF: 2-4, 3b, RBI, Run scored

Brian Adams-RF: 3-4, 2b, RBI
Max Fried-SP: 4.0 IP, 4H, 3ER, 2BB, 3K
Notes: Max Fried experienced his shortest start since April 10th. He hasn’t been all too sharp over his last 2 starts; he’s thrown just 10 innings while allowing 7 earned runs. Despite those less than ideal results, his ERA stands at 3.32 over 8 starts (40.2 innings pitched). Jeremy Baltz has had trouble hitting for a high average so far this year. However, after going a perfect 4-4, Baltz’s average jumped up to .268. He has driven in a good number of runs so far this year (33); if he can maintain an average in the upper .200’s, his bat will be a major threat.
