Lynchburg Hillcats 2, Potomac Nationals 5

Box Score · Hillcats fall to 62-45

Tanner Tully had made three spot starts for Double-A despite never pitching for High-A this year, spending the rest of the year in Single-A Lake County, but he finally debuted for High-A Lynchburg yesterday to mixed results.

Tully pitched five innings, giving up four runs on five hits while striking out four and walking one.

Ivan Castillo was the lone Hillcat to pick up a multi-hit game yesterday, although Sam Haggerty also reached base safely twice and picked up his org-leading 34th stolen base of the season.

Lake County Captains 2, West Michigan Whitecaps 15

Box Score · Captains fall to 44-61

Juan Hillman looked like he was starting to turn his season around, but then he went and gave up 12 runs yesterday (all earned) on 14 hits in 4.2 innings of work.

No one on the Captains offense had a multi-hit game or even reached base safely twice, although Conner Capel hit his 16th home run of the season in the blowout loss.

Mahoning Valley Scrappers 6, Batavia Muckdogs 2

Box Score · Scrappers improve to 25-15

Last year’s top two draft picks were the offensive stars yesterday as Will Benson and Nolan Jones had the only multi-hit games for Mahoning Valley.

Jones went 2-3 with a double, a walk and two runs batted in while Benson went 2-4 with a two-run home run, his second of the young season.

With the offense taken care of, it was up to Gregori Vasquez to keep Batavia in check and he did that very effectively, tossing six innings while giving up two runs on four hits and a walk. Vasquez also struck out five batters to earn the victory.

AZL Indians 3, AZL Reds 8

Box Score · Indians fall to 8-20

Henry Pujols, Jose Fermin and a rehabbing Taylor Murphy had the only hits for the AZL Indians yesterday, and all three of them racked up two hits apiece, although they didn’t amount to much offense overall.

Rehabbing Sam Hentges looked sharp, throwing three shutout innings as he continues to recover from Tommy John surgery, but Luis Oviedo was blasted for six runs (five earned) in just two innings to put this game far out of reach.

DSL Indians 1, DSL Dodgers 2 (Game 1)

DSL Indians 2, DSL Dodgers 3 (Game 2)

Game 1 Box Score · Game 2 Box Score · Indians fall to 17-29

Offense was hard to come by for the DSL Indians as they scored just three runs in both games of a double-header combined. Granted, they only gave up five runs in total, but that was enough to lose both contests.

Top Indians DSL prospect Marcos Gonzalez went 1-2 with a double and a walk in the first loss and didn’t play in game two, where Nehemias Celestan went 2-2 with a hit by pitch.

Diarlin Jimenez took the loss in game one despite giving up zero earned runs in six innings while Wilton Sanchez struck out eight in five innings, giving up two runs to take the loss in game two.

The Columbus Clippers and Akron RubberDucks had a scheduled off-day.
