Daily Farm Round-Up: 6-27-13 

Tucson won both games of a double header due to home runs from Jonathan Galvez and Brandon Allen. Despite a strong start from Matt Wisler, the Missions were unable to beat the Drillers. Jace Peterson hit his 3^rd home run over his past 10 games and Travis Jankowski went yard for the first time all year in the Storm’s 5-3 loss. Zach Eflin continues to be the most consistent pitcher in the Padres farm system as he led the TinCaps to an 8-1 blowout.

Hitting Prospect of the Day: Jace Peterson

Pitching Prospect of the Day: Matt Wisler/Zach Eflin

Dean Anna-SS: 2-3, 2b, BB, Run scored

Ben Francisco-LF: 2-4, 2RBI, K

Brandon Allen-1B: 0-3, BB, K, Run scored

Jonathan Galvez-2B: 2-3, HR(6), 2RBI, BB, Run scored

Brandon Kloess-SP: 4.0 IP, 7H, 4ER, 3BB, 3K

Game 2: Tucson Padres 5, Colorado Springs Sky Sox 4

Jaff Decker-CF: 1-2, BB, K

Gregorio Petit-3B: 3-4, 3b, RBI, 2 Runs scored

Dean Anna-SS: 1-3, RBI, BB, Run scored

Mike Wilson-RF: 1-3, 2b

Brandon Allen-LF: 1-4, HR(9), RBI, 2K, Run scored

Cody Decker-1B: 2-4, 2b, RBI

Jorge Reyes-SP: 2.0 IP, 3H, 2ER, 3BB, 3K

Kevin Quackenbush-RP: 2.0 IP, H, ER, 2BB, K (W, 2-1)

Notes: Since his promotion to Triple-A, Kevin Quackenbush has run into an unprecedented amount of trouble. His current career high in earned run over the course of a single season is 6; he allowed 6 earned runs over 57.2 innings with Lake Elsinore. Unfortunately, Quackenbush has already allowed 5 earned runs over just 6.2 innings with Tucson. The only silver lining is that he has struck out 7 over that span, but he needs to establish more consistency at the Triple-A level.

 

San Antonio Missions 2, Tulsa Drillers 4

Rico Noel-CF: 1-2, 2BB, Run scored

Cory Spangenberg-2B: 2-2, BB, Run scored

Yeison Asencio-RF: 1-4, RBI, K

Johan Limonta-1B: 1-4, K

Adam Buschini-LF: 3-4

Jeudy Valdez-SS: 0-4, 2K

Matt Wisler-SP: 6.0 IP, 6H, ER, 8K

Notes: After dominating the California League, Matt Wisler has faced much stiffer competition up in the Texas League with the Missions. However, Wisler has responded to the task well; after a rough start in his career with the Missions, Wisler has allowed just 9 runs over his last 5 starts (28 innings pitched). Following his hot streak, his ERA has decreased to 3.86 with San Antonio. After struggling during much of his time in Double-A, Cory Spangenberg enjoyed his best game as a member of the Missions. Look for Spangenberg to get hot over the coming weeks.

 

Lake Elsinore Storm 3, Inland Empire 66ers 5

Travis Jankowski-CF: 2-5, HR(1), RBI, 2K, Run scored

Jace Peterson-SS: 2-4, HR(5), RBI, BB, 2 Runs scored

Robert Kral-1B: 1-3, K

Jeremy Baltz-LF: 2-4, RBI, 2K

Austin Hedges-C: 1-3, 2b, BB, K

B.J. Guinn-2B: 1-4, K

Kyle Gaedele-RF: 2-4, K

Trevor Holder-SP: 5.0 IP, 7H, 3R, 2ER, 0BB, 6K, HR Allowed

Notes: Jace Peterson is begging to be promoted to San Antonio; Peterson is hitting an astounding .447 over his last 10 games with 3 home runs and 9 RBI. He has raised his average to .309 on the year. Travis Jankowski has also been producing at a high level for the Storm; Jankowski leads the California League in steals with 47, he’s hitting .291, and he swatted his first home run of the season today. Since his promotion to Lake Elsinore, Jeremy Baltz has done nothing but hit. Baltz has hit safely in all 7 games he’s played; he has collected 2 home runs and 7 RBI over that span.

 

Fort Wayne TinCaps 8, West Michigan Whitecaps 1

Corey Adamson-RF: 2-3, 2RBI, K, 2 Runs scored

Maxx Tissenbaum-SS: 1-4, RBI, BB, K, Run scored

Diego Goris-1B: 1-5, Run scored

Dane Phillips-C: 3-3, 2b, BB, 2 Runs scored

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

Luis Domoromo-LF: 3-4, 2 3b, 3RBI

Zach Eflin-SP: 5.0 IP, 4H, ER, BB, 8K, HR Allowed (W, 4-4)

Notes: Out of the trio of 1^st round pitchers from the 2012 draft (Max Fried, Zach Eflin, Walker Weickel) Zach Eflin has pitched the best. Eflin has now thrown 10 straight starts in which he’s gone at least 5 innings with 2 or less earned runs. The strikeout numbers are on the rise as well; he has struck out 57 batters in 65.1 innings pitched.  On the year, Eflin’s ERA is 3.31. Dane Phillips had a perfect 3-3 night at the plate and raised his average to .274 on the season. Since being demoted to Fort Wayne, Luis Domoromo has struggled. However, following tonight’s monster performance, hopefully he hits a hot streak.

 

Eugene Emeralds 3, Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 9

Ronnie Richardson-CF: 0-5, 2K

Fernando Perez-3B: 1-4, 2K, Run scored

Trae Santos-1B: 0-4, RBI, K

Henry Charles-RF: 2-3, 2b, RBI, Run scored

Anthony Torres-2B: 3-4, K

Jeffrey Enloe-SP: 3.1 IP, 9H, 6ER, BB, 2K (L, 1-2)

Michael Kelly-RP: 2.2 IP, H, 0R, 2BB, 4K

Notes: After pitching poorly for Low-A Fort Wayne, former 1^st round pick Michael Kelly finds himself in short-season Eugene. He did well in his first appearance as he struck out 4 batters in less than 3 innings pitched. After failing to record a hit in his first two games with Eugene this year, Fernando Perez has hit safely in his 2 most recent games and has upped his average to .273 with Eugene.

 

AZL Padres 11, AZL Royals 12

Franchy Cordero-SS: 2-5, 2RBI, K

Jalen Goree-2B: 1-5, RBI, 3K

Jose Urena-RF: 3-5, 3b, HR(2), 2RBI, K, 2 Runs scored

Tyler Dial-C: 1-5, RBI, Run scored

Rod Boykin-LF: 2-4, K, Run scored

Malquiel Brito-CF: 3-4, 3b, 2RBI, K, 2 Runs scored

Cam Stewart-SP: 2.0 IP, 6H, 4R, 3ER, BB, 2K

Notes: Jose Urena homered for the 2^nd time in 3 days; he’s driven in 5 runs over that span. Franchy Cordero has hit safely in 5 of his last 6 games and is hitting .357 on the year. Cam Stewart endured a second straight sub-par start; he owns a 7.71 ERA over 2 starts.
