Pawtucket 7, Lehigh Valley 2 (continuation of 7/23 game)
Sean O'Sullivan - 4 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 5 BB, 3 K, HR, 5 GB, 1 FB
Ethan Martin - 2 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, WP
Jeremy Horst - 2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, K
Matt Hoffman - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, K
Cesar Hernandez - 1 for 4, R (fielding error)
Freddy Galvis - 1 for 4, R, 2B
Leandro Castro - 0 for 3, BB, 2 K
Sebastian Valle - 0 for 3, K
Sean O'Sullivan takes his 8th loss and walks a season high 5 batters. The bullpen would continue the game after it was suspended by rain for a day. Martin saw his 9.2 scoreless innings streak come to an end. Matt Hoffman makes his Lehigh debut with a scoreless inning. No Franco, Rupp or Perkins in the lineup, so there is nothing really exciting on the offensive front unless you get giddy for Russ Canzler and Nate Spears updates.
Pawtucket 5, Lehigh Valley 1 (7 innings)
Brad Lincoln - 6.1 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB, 8 K, HR, 2 GB, 6 FB
Cesar Jimenez - 0.2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER
Cesar Hernandez - 0 for 4, 2 K
Freddy Galvis - 1 for 3, 2B, K
Maikel Franco - 1 for 2, R, BB
Cameron Rupp - 0 for 3, K
Tyler Henson - 1 for 3, 2B, RBI
Cam Perkins - 0 for 3, K
Brad Lincoln strikes out a season high 8 batters, but still winds up with the loss. He has struck out 79 batters in 87 innings with the Iron Pigs. Maikel Franco returns to the lineup after missing a couple games with back tightness and works a single and a walk. Perkins also returns, but doesn't have as favorable results.
Reading 6, Akron 1
Ryan O'Sullivan - 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 5 BB, 4 K, 6 GB, 4 FB (pickoff error)
Colton Murray - 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, K
Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez - 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, BB, 3 K
Peter Lavin - 0 for 4, K
Kelly Dugan - 2 for 3, 2 R, K, HBP
Jake Fox - 2 for 3, 2 R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, HBP
Aaron Altherr - 1 for 3, R, RBI, BB
Carlos Alonso - 1 for 4, HR, 2 RBI
Ryan O'Sullivan has...been pretty darn good in his turn as a starter. Yes, the 5 walks yesterday are less than ideal, but he has only given up 14 hits in 22 innings (his last 4 starts). MAG has given up runs now in back to back outings for the first time with Reading. Kelly Dugan OBP for the season now stands at .390 (146 AB). Jake Fox is just being ridiculous now, hitting his 14th HR, his 6th in his last 8 games. Carlos Alonso also picks up his 9th homer.
Clearwater 7, Jupiter 4
Miguel Nunez - 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 4 GB, 5 FB
Ramon Oviedo - 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, K
Roman Quinn - 1 for 4, R, 2B, 2 RBI, BB, SB
Angelo Mora - 1 for 5, 2B, RBI, 2 K
JP Crawford - 2 for 5, R, K
Brian Pointer - 1 for 5, R, K, CS (outfield assist, 2B)
Harold Martinez - 1 for 3, R, SB, HBP
Gabriel Lino - 2 for 4, R, 2B, 4 RBI
Miguel Nunez has now put together 2 very good starts in a row (12 IP, 1 ER). Roman Quinn steals his 14th base, his 5th in the last 7 games. JP Crawford with a two-hit game and is slashing .371/.439/.486 in his last 10 games. Brian Pointer now has 9 outfield assists this season. Gabriel Lino continues his hot streak and has 5 hits in his last 2 games (slashing .300/.323/.433 in his last 10).
Lakewood 8, Greenville 3
Jon Prosinski - 6 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, BB, 5 K, 9 GB, 2 FB
Delvi Francisco - 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 K, 2 BB, 2 FB
Carlos Tocci - 2 for 4, R, CS
Andrew Pullin - 2 for 4, 2 R
Andrew Knapp - 1 for 4, 2B, 3 K
Dylan Cozens - 2 for 4, 2 R, 3B, 2 RBI

Mitch Walding - 1 for 4, 2 RBI, K
Larry Greene - 0 for 2, R, RBI, BB, K
Willians Astudillo - 1 for 4, RBI
Prosinski has a good start and has put up some pretty good GB/FB numbers all season. Too bad everyone just keeps hitting off him in the process. Lakewood offense dominated this game, collecting 11 hits and going 4 for 9 with RISP. Cozens picks up his 4th triple and raises his average to .249. Tocci and Pullin both remain hot as well. Larry Greene's average falls to .181.
Williamsport 5, Mahoning Valley 1
Feliberto Sanchez - 5 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 2 GB, 6 FB
Edubray Ramos - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, K
Manny Martinez - 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, BB, 2 K
Jesen Therrien - 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K
Chase Harris - 0 for 4, R, SB (outfield assist, 1B)
Jiandido Tromp - 3 for 3, 2 R, 3B, RBI, BB, SB
Aaron Brown - 1 for 3, R, 2B, RBI, K, HBP
Rhys Hoskins - 0 for 2, RBI, BB
Derek Campbell - 0 for 3, R, HBP (fielding and throwing error)
Cord Sandberg - 1 for 4, 3B, 2 RBI, K
Deivi Grullon - 0 for 4, 2 K
Drew Stankiewicz - 1 for 3, CS
Robinson Torres - 1 for 3
Feliberto Sanchez returns to the rotation and does fairly well with the bullpen closing it out. Jiandido Tromp goes 3 for 3 and steals his 10th base. Combined through two levels he is batting .267/.332/.484 (217 AB) with 10 HR and 13 SB. Cord Sandberg has his first extra base hit in what seems like forever.
GCL Blue Jays 9, GCL Phillies 2 (Game 1 of doubleheader, 7 innings)
Denton Keys - 2 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 4 ER, WP
Jared Fisher - 2 IP, 7 H, 5 R, 5 ER, BB, 3 WP
Gregorio Santos - 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, K
Carlos Duran - 1 for 4, R, 2 K
Tim Zier - 2 for 3, R, 2 2B
Damek Tomscha - 0 for 3, RBI
Gustavo Martinez - 0 for 1, 2 BB
Jose Pujols - 1 for 3, K
Trey Williams - 0 for 3
Jake Sweaney - 0 for 3, K
A bit of a disaster with both the pitching and offense in the 1st game of the doubleheader. This was by far Key's worst outing of the season. The same with Fisher, who hadn't given up more than 1 ER in an appearance prior to yesterday. The offense only collects 4 hits and was 0 for 6 with RISP.
GCL Phillies 12, GCL Blue Jays 1 (Game 2 of doubleheader, makeup of 7/23 ppd, 7 innings)
Franklyn Kilome - 5 IP, 4 H,1 R, 1 ER, 4 K, 7 GB, 3 FB, WP
Elniery Garcia - 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, BB, 3 K
Venn Biter - 1 for 3, 2 R, RBI, BB, K, SB
Olvy Marte - 1 for 2, 2 R, RBI, 2 BB
Jesus Posso - 2 for 3, R, 5 RBI, BB, K
Damek Tomscha - 0 for 4, K (throwing error)
Jose Pujols - 2 for 3, 2 R, 2B, BB, K, CS
Joel Fisher - 2 for 4, R, 2B, RBI, K
Luis Encarnacion - 0 for 2, R, BB, K, HBP
Jake Sweaney - 2 for 3, R, 2B, 3 RBI, BB
Kilome is having himself quite the stateside debut. The massive 19 year old from the DR has only given up 12 hits, 3 earned runs and 5 walks in 18 innings. The offense went bonkers in this game, getting 12 runs on 10 hits and 9 walks. Damek Tomscha has fallen off a cliff after his hot start. He is .118/.250/.294 in his last 10 games.
