Minor League Report for 8/8
Iowa 4 Portland 2 - Jae Kuk Ryu pitched 8 innings, earning the win to move to 6-6 on the season. Ryu gave up 5 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned, walking 1, while striking out 7, and saw his ERA drop to 3.54 on the year. While Felix Pie went 0-4 at the plate, Geovanny Soto went 2-2 with his 4th HR of the year, and ended up driving in 3 runs. Micah Hoffpaiur also went 2-2 while Casey McGehee went 2-4 with a double.
Carolina 1 West Tennessee 0 - Federico Baez (2-1), a member of the Puerto Rico team in the WBC, started and threw 7 innings giving up 1 run, but couldn't get the win as the D-Jaxx couldn't score. The top 4 hitters in the order each had a single, which accounted for all of the D-Jaxx' hits. Chris Walker did add his 37th stolen base of the season, while Eric Patterson was picked off counting for his 11th caught stealing on the year.
Tampa 4 Daytona 3 - Mark Holliman (7-9), continued to struggle although pitching better despite taking the loss. Holliman pitched 7 innings giving up 7 hits, 3 earned runs, 1 walk, and struck out 5. At the plate, Ryan Harvey went 1-4 while Jemel Spearman went 1-2 with a walk, a RBI, and his 19th stolen base on the year.
Kane County 4 Peoria 1 - Jesus Valdez went 2-4 with his 5th HR of the year in the first inning, but the Peoria Chiefs couldn't scratch out any more runs. Robinson Chirinos added his 28th double of the year going 1-3 at the plate. Chirinos is hitting .245 on the year, but walks quite a bit and has a line of 245/356/387 while playing second base spot. If Chirinos can raise his batting average, his line would look very nice.
Eugene 3 Boise 1 - Tyler Colvin finally broke his hitless streak, going 1-4, but did strike out 3 times, while stealing his 8th base of the year. Russ Canzler went 1-3 with a walk, and Elvin Puello went 2-3 with a double while DH'ing. Kitt Kopach (0-1) took the loss going 4.1 IP giving up 1 hit, 3 ER, 3 walks, and striking out 1.
Notes: After mentioning two high school draftees a few weeks ago, Cliff Anderson and Drew Rundle, the two players have started to turn the corner in rookie ball and deserve a mention again. Anderson went 2-4 with a double while Rundle hit 3rd and went 1-4 and has a OBP approaching .400 on the year. Heard of the Arizona Fall League, but don't know what its all about? Check out this article on the AFL posted over at The Cub Reporter, which also makes some guesses on which Cubs organization players will be invited to play.
