Daily Farm Round-Up: 6-28-13
Picking a Hitting Prospect of the Day was very challenging as no Padre farm team scored more than 4 runs. The AZL Padres, led by Franchy Cordero, were the only farm team to collect a W. Both the Storm and the Emeralds saw solid starting pitching go to waste as their respective bullpens crumbled in the late innings. San Antonio was shutout, and Tucson scored just 2 runs to back starter Matt Andriese.

Notes: After winning both games of a double-header yesterday, Tucson was unable to earn the victory tonight against the Sky Sox. Matt Andriese made his first start since his promotion to Triple-A. He allowed 8 hits over 5 innings but limited the damage as he allowed just 2 runs to score. Prior to his promotion, Andriese posted a 2.37 ERA over 15 starts with San Antonio.

Notes: The Missions failed to get anything going offensively as they collected just 4 hits all night. However, Cory Spangenberg collected 2 of those 4 hits and he is now batting .313 over his last 10 games with San Antonio. Spangenberg promptly struggled following his promotion to Double-A but he seems to have found his groove. The roller coaster continues for Donn Roach as he followed up a start in which he allowed 7 runs and 10 hits with a quality start.

Justin Hancock-SP: 6.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 2BB, K
Notes: Since being demoted to Eugene last year, Justin Hancock has pitched his tail off. Hancock posted a 1.61 ERA over 14 starts with Eugene to finish that year. He began the 2013 season pitching with Fort Wayne and continued his dominance as he posted a 1.73 ERA over 12 starts. Now, as he begins his career with the Storm, he has tossed 2 starts and has allowed just 2 runs over 11 innings, good for a 0.82 ERA. The only area Hancock has not excelled in is strikeouts as he has K’d just 48 batters over 78.2 innings this year. Jeremy Baltz has now hit safely in all 8 games he’s played in for the Storm; he is on a 4 game multi-hit streak and is batting .382 over 34 AB’s with Lake Elsinore.
