Tucson Padres 3, Las Vegas 51s 11
Jaff Decker-CF: 1-3, 2RBI, K
Gregorio Petit-3B: 0-4, 2K
Dean Anna-SS: 0-4, K

Anthony Bass-SP: 5.0 IP, 11H, 7ER, BB, 5K, 4 HR Allowed
Notes: Yonder Alonso enjoyed his 3rd multi-hit game in a row; he has 8 hits over his last 3 games. While he seems to be barreling the ball up well, Alonso hasn’t shown any extra-base pop with Tucson as all 8 of his hits are singles. Anthony Bass allowed 4 home runs in his start tonight. He had allowed 4 home runs over his 7 previous starts.
San Antonio Missions 1, Midland RockHounds 0
Cory Spangenberg-2B: 1-4, K, Run scored
Reymond Fuentes-CF: 1-4, BB
Tommy Medica-1B: 0-5, 3K
Yeison Asencio-RF: 1-2, RBI, 3BB
Rocky Gale-C: 0-4, K
Jeudy Valdez-SS: 1-4, 2b
Donn Roach-SP: 6.0 IP, H, 0R, BB, 4K
Notes: For the second straight night the Missions score just 1 run and celebrate a victory. The pitching staff, this time led by Donn Roach, effectively shutdown the RockHounds. The RockHounds only managed 1 hit over 10 innings. Donn Roach has experienced an up down season, but it has been a lot of ups lately, as Roach hasn’t allowed more than 3 earned runs in any of his last 5 starts. Over his last 2 starts, which have totaled 11.1 innings, Roach has allowed only 3 hits.
Lake Elsinore Storm 5, Bakersfield Blaze 4
Travis Jankowski-CF: 1-4
Jedd Gyorko-2B: 2-4, RBI, K, Run scored
Lee Orr-DH: 1-4, 3K, Run scored
A.J. Kirby-Jones-1B: 2-4, 2 2b, 3RBI
Jeremy Baltz-LF: 1-4, 2K
Austin Hedges-C: 2-4, 2K, Run scored
James Needy-SP: 6.0 IP, H, 0R, BB, 4K
Notes: Gyorko continued his rehab assignment with another 2 hits. Gyorko also helped turn a double play in tonight’s game. Jeremy Baltz ended a lengthy hitless drought; tonight’s hit was his first since July 6th. On June 26th James Needy experienced a horrible start that saw him allow 7 earned runs in less than 5 innings. Since then, Needy has thrown 3 starts in which he’s totaled 16 innings and allowed just 1 run. Needy’s season has been very similar to Jason Marquis’; he allows a ton of base runners, but manages to get out of trouble for the most part. Tonight, however, Needy allowed just 2 base runners over 6 innings.
Fort Wayne TinCaps 3, Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 6
Mallex Smith-CF: 2-4, Run scored
Maxx Tissenbaum-2B: 1-5, K
Dane Phillips-DH: 1-4, RBI, Run scored
Corey Adamson-RF: 1-3
Luis Domoromo-LF: 1-3, 3b, RBI
Tyler Stubblefield-SS: 2-3, 2b, BB, Run scored
Max Fried-SP: 3.2 IP, 9H, 5R, 4ER, BB, 4K, HR Allowed
Notes: Max Fried endured one of his worst starts of the year. For the first time since June 2nd, Fried failed to go at least 4 innings in a start; Fried also allowed a career-high 9 hits in a single start. The only positives from tonight’s start were that Fried struck out more batters than innings pitched, and he only walked one batter. Fried has struggled with control all season, but he walked just 1 batter in each of his last 2 starts.
Eugene Emeralds 6, Everett AquaSox 3
Ronnie Richardson-CF: 0-0, 2BB, HBP
Hunter Renfroe-RF: 2-4, 2b, BB, Run scored
Trae Santos-1B: 1-4, 2b, 2K, Run scored
Fernando Perez-3B: 1-3, RBI, BB
Henry Charles-LF: 1-4, 2b, RBI
Felipe Blanco-SS: 2-3, 2 2b, K, Run scored
Yimmi Brasoban-SP: 5.0 IP, 3H, ER, 3BB, K
Michael Kelly-RP: 1.2 IP, 0H, R, 2BB, 3K (BS, 2) (W, 1-1)
Notes: The big story of the night is that Padres first round draft-pick Hunter Renfroe made his professional debut. Renfroe did well; he reached base 3 times, had a double, and he scored a run. Michael Kelly continued to display fantastic stuff as evidenced by 3 strikeouts in 2 innings, but his control issues haunted him again. He didn’t allow a single hit, yet a run scored off of him due to 3 walks. Ronnie Richardson had 5 plate appearances in tonight’s game, but he didn’t record an official at bat. Richardson walked twice, was hit by a pitch, and has two sacrifices.
AZL Padres 2, AZL Cubs 6
Rod Boykin-CF: 2-4, 2K, Run scored
Franmil Reyes-RF: 1-4, 2RBI
Jose Urena-LF: 1-4, 2b, K
Dustin Peterson-3B: 1-4, 2b, K
Jalen Goree-2B: 1-4
Jose Ruiz-C: 0-2, K
Miguel Severino-SP: 4.0 IP, 5H, 2ER, 5BB, 3K (L, 0-2)
Notes: Dustin Peterson had an extra-base hit for the second night in a row. Peterson is batting .275 over his last 10 games and is batting .271 over 59 AB’s on the year. The Padres’ 12th round pick in the 2012 draft, Rod Boykin, has quietly excelled with the AZL Padres. Boykin is hitting .371 over 35 AB’s on the year; Boykin has collected multiple hits in 5 of his last 7 games.
