Arizona League Standings

[Mass Haas]

Our esteemed draft guru colbyjack has kindly offered me an evening off, so you'll have a different perspective on any box score comments tonight. Enjoy your summer Friday, everyone.

[Mass Haas]

The St. Lucie-Brevard County rainout makeup dates have been chosen. The games will be made up as part of a doubleheader on both Saturday 8/16 and Sunday 8/17. The Saturday doubleheader begins at 5:00 PM, and the Sunday doubleheader begins at 1:00 PM (Eastern).

 

Tyler L. Stover

Director of Media Relations

Brevard County Manatees

[brewjihad]

Mark DeFelice got roughed up tonight for 6 runs, and he uncharacteristically walked someone. Sounds are facing Oakland's Gio Gonzalez and they haven't gotten a hit through 4 innings.

 

Nice outing for Omar Aguilar, 3 innings and only 1 hit.

 

Chris Dennis hit 2 homers for Helena, so much for him struggling.

[trwi7]

Man, Huntsville draws 10 walks and only scores one run. They're really struggling.

[twobrewers]

I guess Huntsville was better off performing before the trade deadline than after.

Final: Nashville 0, Sacramento 6

 

Cats Silence Sounds With Three-Hit Shutout

WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Two Sacramento pitchers combined on a three-hit shutout in the River Cats' 6-0 victory over the Nashville Sounds on Friday evening at Raley Field.

 

Left-hander Gio Gonzalez (8-7) worked the first eight frames in scoreless fashion for Sacramento, allowing two hits, before Jay Marshall wrapped up the shutout by pitching the ninth for the River Cats.

 

The shutout loss was the seventh suffered by Nashville (44-69) this season.

 

The lone hits produced by the Sounds in the contest were a fifth-inning Adam Heether double, an eighth-inning Vinny Rottino single, and a ninth-inning Joe Dillon single.

 

It was a pitcher's duel between the Sounds' Mark DiFelice and Gonzalez in the early going as the hurlers combined to open the game with 3 ½ hitless innings before Sacramento got on the board in the bottom of the fourth.

 

The River Cats opened the home half of the fourth with seven straight hits off DiFelice to build a 6-0 lead. Eric Patterson and Chris Denorfia opened the frame with back-to-back singles before both scored on Casey Rogowski's two-run triple to right. Landon Powell followed with an RBI single before Matt Murton, Danny Putnam, and Donnie Murphy delivered three consecutive doubles to increase the advantage to six. Murphy's RBI two-bagger chased DiFelice from the contest.

 

The seven straight River Cats hits off DiFelice were the club's only knocks of the evening.

 

Troy Cate, who opened the 2008 season with Sacramento, followed with four hitless innings of work for Nashville, his best outing of the year. Mitch Stetter added a hitless eighth frame, walking one batter.

 

DiFelice (4-1) took his first loss of the year after allowing a season-high six runs on seven hits in three-plus innings of work.

 

The teams wrap up the series with a 9:05 p.m. CT finale on Saturday. Left-hander Lindsay Gulin (5-5, 3.58) will toe the rubber for the Sounds to face Sacramento right-hander Brad Knox (6-2, 5.06).

 

Nashville Box Score:

The Sounds get 3-hit by A's top prospect, lefty Gio Gonzalez. Not much good to find in this one, unless you get excited about Adam Heether playing SS. LHP Troy Cate did have 4 strong innings in relief.

Final: Mississippi 2, Huntsville 1

 

First Place Braves Keep Rolling Along

Reid Gorecki's two-run home run was the decisive blow in Mississippi's 2-1 win over Huntsville Friday night in the opener of a five-game set at Joe Davis Stadium. The Braves claimed their eighth straight victory to improve to 28-13 in the second half, while the Stars lost a season-high eighth straight to drop to 18-23 in the half and 59-52 overall. Huntsville has lost the last three games by one run and each of the last five by either one or two runs.

 

Braves' starter Carlos Sencion allowed a one-out single in the first inning to Guilder Rodriguez before he walked Mat Gamel and Cole Gillespie to load the bases. The left-hander then walked Chris Errecart to force in the game's first run but escaped further trouble by getting Mike Bell to ground into a double play to end the frame.

 

Stars' starter Nic Ungs blanked the visitors through three innings until Matt Young led off with a single and Gorecki blasted his tenth long ball of the season just to the left of straightaway center field. Ungs went six innings, giving up six hits, walking one and striking out three but suffered the loss to drop to 3-1. Omar Aguilar worked three shutout frames in his longest outing of the year, giving up one hit, walking one and fanning one.

 

Sencion muddled through five frames to earn the win, allowing only two hits but walking a season-high seven and striking out five. Michael Nix took over in the sixth and was able to strand Mike Bell at third base with one out by striking out Anderson De La Rosa and getting Ungs to fly out. Sung Ki Jung got Gillespie to ground into a double play with runners at first and second and one out to end the seventh and Steve Marek, acquired in the Mark Texeira trade, was able to leave Errecart at third in the eighth.

 

Luis Valdez took over in the ninth and walked the lead off man Yohannis Perez before Lorenzo Cain grounded into a double play. Rodriguez walked to keep the inning going but Gamel struck out to end the game. Valdez recorded his 22nd save and helped the Braves push their lead in the Southern Division to four games, pending the outcome of the Biscuits game with West Tenn.

 

The series continues Saturday night with right-hander Mike Jones taking the mound for Huntsville against Braves' right-hander Todd Redman. Coverage begins at 6:50 pm central time and can be heard locally on SportsRadio 730 WUMP and through the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com and www.730ump.com.

 

Huntsville Box Score:

Starter Nic Ungs had 6 strong innings as the starter, and Omar Aguilar adds 3 scoreless frames in relief, as noted above, his longest outing of the year. The Huntsville bats, much like the ones for the Sounds this evening, were pretty much quiet, with only 5 hits, although they did draw 10 walks as a club. Tough to score only 1 run with that many baserunners, something the big-league Brewers know all too well.

Huntsville Game Log

The Stars only run comes on a bases-loaded walk in the first inning, an inning that they should have pushed a few more runs across. Several double plays also killed their chances throughout the game.

Final: Palm Beach 6, Brevard County 4

 

Brevard County Box Score:

Mel Stocker continues to hit well, with the usual small sample disclaimer, catcher Andy Bouchie with a 2-hit game and a 2-run home run, giving Jonathan Lucroy a break from behind the plate, who reaches base four times (1 hit, 2 BB, 1 HBP) as the team's DH. Tall, lanky lefty Rafael Lluberes tries to get back on track with 2 scoreless frames. 4 errors on the night for the Manatees, with Brewer committing two of those, who now has 15 with BC (matching his total with WV before getting the bump up).

Brevard County Game Log:

Bouchie with some 2-out thunder in the bottom of the 8th that tied the game and forced extra innings, although the 'Tees wasted some golden opportunities for much bigger innings in the first and third, although Palm Beach wasted several opportunities of their own with 6 runs on 14 hits. The damage was already done, but Brent Brewer's second error of the night allowed the Cardinals to score their second run in the top of the 10th.

Final: West Virginia 1, Lakewood 4

 

BLUECLAWS SHUT POWER DOWN

Lakewood BlueClaws held the West Virginia Power to just a run on five hits at First Energy Park on Friday night and came away with a 4-1 victory to split the four game series.

 

Tim Kennelly ripped a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the first inning to give Lakewood an early lead. The Power tied the game in the third inning when Eric Farris belted an RBI double. The BlueClaws plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the third to take the lead again. Dominic Brown ripped a run scoring triple and scored on Freddy Galvis's sacrifice fly.

 

Tim Kennelly smacked a one-out triple in the sixth inning and scored the game's final run on a wild pitch. West Virginia was held without a hit since Farris's double in the third until Matt Cline ripped a one-out single in the top of the eighth inning. Farris's double was West Virginia's only extra base hit of the night.

 

Mike Stutes (2-0) tossed six great innings, allowing just a run on two hits and fanned six to get the victory. Jared Simon (23) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save and Lucas Luetge (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs on seven hits over five and a third. Roque Mercedes pitched two and two-thirds scoreless innings of one hit ball in relief. The Power bullpen surrendered just two earned runs over 18 and a third innings in the series.

 

The Power fell to 60-50 on the year and 28-13 in the second half with the loss. The BlueClaws improved to 64-47 on the year and 26-15 in the second half with the win. Farris and Wilson paced the Power with three hits a piece. Matt Cline reached twice to bring his on base streak to 21 games and Gindl reached once to extend his on base streak to 24 games. Steffan Wilson went 1-for-4 and extended his road hitting streak to 25 games while Lee Haydel went 0-for-3, bringing his ten game hitting streak to an end.

 

The Power will begin a four game series against the Delmarva Shorebirds at Appalachian Power Park on Saturday night. The Power will start right hander R.J. Seidel (7-4, 5.21) and the Shorebirds will counter with right hander Zach Britton (10-5, 2.83). The first pitch is scheduled for 7:05 PM.

 

West Virginia Box Score:

There appear to be some game errors in the game report courtesy of the Power's game recap from above, and while I'm sure everyone will take the refreshing win at the big-league level for the Brewers this evening, it wasn't a kind night to the affiliates. The Power had problems getting baserunners against that pesky Lakewood team. Lucas Luetge gets roughed up during his first start for WV, who was previously unscored upon in the Sally League since his promotion, although Roque Mercedes was incredibly sharp in relief, striking out 3 and giving up only 1 hit in 2.2 innings. No more comments asking about what Roque Mercedes this is; he's been capable of this all along and had games like this last summer for the H-Crew with much greater regularity.

West Virginia Game Log:

Not much in this game to talk about outside of Eric Farris' RBI double in the 3rd. Opposing pitcher Jared Simon struck out the Power side in the top of the 9th despite a leadoff single by Eric Fryer.

Final: Great Falls 7, Helena 6

 

Voyagers Down Brewers in Extra-Innings

The Great Falls Voyagers defeated the Helena Brewers Friday night as Johnny Celis homered in the top of the tenth inning off of Adam Arnold.

 

The Voyagers out-hit the Brewers 13-9 in the contest, as Tyler Kuhn, Kyle Shelton and Jordan Cheatham all had multi-hit games. Mike Grace had a homerun and three RBI's on the night for Great Falls.

 

For Helena, Chris Dennis led the way going 3-for-4 with a triple and two homeruns. Dennis homered in the bottom of the first inning and again in the fourth, both off of Great Falls' Dexter Carter. Dennis was credited with four RBI's on the night and three runs scored. Steven Braun had an RBI double in the seventh inning for Helena.

 

Adam Arnold suffers the loss for the Brewers, giving up two runs on two hits in three innings of work. Stephen Sauer picks up his third win of the season for Great Falls, as he threw two complete innings of shutout baseball. Ronnie Morales earned his third save of the season as he gave up just one hit in one inning of work and struck out one Brewer hitter.

 

This was Helena's fifth extra-inning game in their last ten and they are 2-6 in extra's this season. The Brewers drop to 2-3 in the second half of the Pioneer League season as Great Falls improves to 2-3.

 

Helena Box Score:

Chris Dennis with a huge night at the plate for the H-Crew, with three hits (2 HR, 1 3B), 3 runs and 4 RBI. There are always those prospects that certain fans around these parts get behind, and Dennis is one of those guys that deserves some random love. It wasn't necessarily pretty, but Garrett Sherrill continues his success from the month of July into August by not allowing an earned run over 3 innings of relief while sporting a nifty 5-1 groundout to flyout ratio, something we always like to keep our eyes on.

 

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=g_box&gid=2008_08_01_grfrok_helrok_1

 

Helena Game Log:

Fortunately Helena responded quickly to Great Falls 3-run 1st to make sure they weren't out of this one early, thanks to Chris Dennis' 3-run bomb. A solo shot in the top of the 10th for Great Falls is the difference maker in this one.

Losses pile up for Stars

New Miss. pitcher helps seal eighth straight defeat

By BRAD SHEPARD

For The Huntsville Times

 

Right now, Steve Marek is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound afterthought.

 

To Atlanta Braves fans, the 24-year-old relief pitcher is a throw-in on a Double-A roster. But the "other guy" who came from the Los Angeles Angels along with first baseman Casey Kotchman in this week's Mark Teixeira deal is impressive in his own right.

 

On Friday night, he pitched a scoreless eighth inning to help Mississippi send the reeling Huntsville Stars to their eighth consecutive loss with a 2-1 win in front of 5,433 fans at Joe Davis Stadium. He also took another step toward playing for his dream team.

 

"I grew up a Braves fans back in Texas," Marek said. "We had TBS, and every time they played the Astros, I went to the games and had my Braves jersey on.

 

"My favorite player growing up was (Ryan) Klesko because I was a left-handed batter, and I'd try to imitate him when I went to bat."

 

Marek - who was rated the No. 6 prospect in the Angels organization - sports a mid-90s fastball with a lot of movement. He also has a 12-to-6 curve and a change-up. After three years of starting in the Angels organization, he is Mississippi's setup man and projects in that role for Atlanta possibly as soon as next year.

 

On Friday, he allowed a leadoff, opposite-field single to Chris Errecart, but after Michael Bell bunted him over, Marek got Freddy Parejo to ground out and Anderson De La Rosa to pop out to end the threat.

 

Though major league first baseman Kotchman - who has three years of arbitration eligibility remaining until he's a free agent in 2011 - is the jewel of Atlanta's white-flag deadline trade, Marek may be a nice addition.

 

"He's been impressive in both outings," Mississippi manager Phillip Wellman said. "We wanted to see what the guy is made of so we ran him out there in a one-run game - kind of a baptism by fire - and he handled it. He did it again tonight."

 

The Stars (18-23) left 11 men on base, failing to take advantage of Braves starter Carlos Sencion's seven walks in six innings. Sencion's outing was as exciting as it was effective, even if it wasn't pretty. He allowed just three hits and one run while striking out five.

 

A night of squandered opportunities for Huntsville got no more heartbreaking than in the fifth when Errecart hit a sharp grounder down the third-base line with runners on second and third and two outs. Van Pope made a nice backhand on and threw to first to save two runs.

 

Three relievers - including Marek - finished off the Stars.

 

"The biggest thing is we don't have anybody picking up the slack," Stars manager Don Money said. "We failed twice getting runners home from third with less than two out, and (Lorenzo) Cain failed on a sacrifice bunt in the ninth.

 

"We've got to get the job done."

Voyagers win in 10, spoil Brewers' return

Helena Independent Record

 

Johnny Celis hit a solo home run in the top of the 10th inning and the Great Falls Voyagers spoiled a Helena Brewers homecoming Friday night, 7-6, at Kindrick Legion Field.

 

The Brewers (2-3) hadn't been home since two games before the start of the second half of the season, but they couldn't gain enough of an advantage in front of their 1,218 fans in the stands.

 

The Voyagers (2-3), meanwhile, tried to build a lead throughout the game, but found out quickly that the Brewers were ready to go tit-for-tat all the way into extra innings, thanks to two home runs by Chris Dennis.

 

Great Falls built their lead in the first on a three-run homer by Mike Grace before scoring once more in the fourth, but the Brewers matched them evenly in the bottom of each inning.

 

Dennis hit a three-run blast of his own in the bottom of the first then a solo to catch up three innings later.

 

He would finish a double short of the cycle, going 3-for-4 with three runs and four RBI.

 

Great Falls finally broke away in the top of the sixth when Jesus Avila reached on a fielding error by shortstop David Fonseca, allowing Zach Larson to make it 5-4 in the Voyagers' favor/

 

The run went unanswered in the bottom of the inning, but by the end of the seventh the Brewers held a 6-5 lead when Dennis tripled then came home on a sacrifice fly by Michael Vass. Two batters later Steven Braun would double in Mike Roberts.

 

Great Falls answered the next inning when Tyler Kuhn tripled, then came home for the tying run when Avila once again reached on an error, this time by Braun at second base.

 

Helena's only two errors cost them a run each while the Voyagers ended the game without one.

 

Celis, who had one at-bat all game, came in as a pinch hitter for Larson in the 10th. He also picked the perfect time to hit his first home run all season, cranking it over the right field wall.

 

Great Falls' Ronald Morales replaced Stephen Sauer on the mound and the Voyagers' picked up two quick outs before Erik Komatsu hit a single. Brock Kjeldgaard, however, couldn't bring him in, popping up for the final out on a pay-off pitch.

 

Morales got the save while Sauer (3-1) picked up the win, striking out four and walking one over two innings.

 

Helena's Adam Arnold (1-2) suffered the loss, closing out the final three innings with two runs on two hits with a walk and four strike outs.

 

Helena will host the Billings Mustangs tonight at 7:05 PM (8:05 Central).
