Game 136: Tex-less
David Robertson out Friday with stiffness

Manny Banuelos was named the ninth hottest prospect in the minors in the final Prospect Hot Sheet of the season. Dante Bichette Jr. got some love in the In The Team Photo section. Meanwhile, both P.J. Pilittere and Eric Wordekemper were activated off the phantom DL to fill some of the roster spots at Triple-A Scranton that have been vacated by various call-ups.

Triple-A Scranton (4-3 loss to Pawtucket) even if they’d won, they still would have been eliminated from the wildcard race because Lehigh Valley won their game … no Triple-A playoffs this year, sadly
Kevin Russo, 3B: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 SB – led the game off with a homer
Ramiro Pena, SS: 1 for 4, 1 K – they moved his rehab up here just so he wouldn’t have to travel with Trenton
Mike Lamb, DH: 2 for 3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 BB – modest nine game hitting streak
Jorge Vazquez, 1B & Ray Kruml, LF: both 1 for 4, 1 K – JoVa scored a run, Kruml drove one in … Kruml stole a base and threw a runner out at home
Austin Romine, C: 1 for 4, 2 K – at long last, he’s finally in Triple-A
Jordan Parraz, RF: 1 for 3, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 2 K
Greg Golson, CF: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 SB
Doug Bernier, 2B: 0 for 1, 3 BB
Adam Warren, RHP: 6 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 6-4 GB/FB – 66 of 104 pitches were strikes (63.5%)
Andrew Brackman, RHP: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1-1 GB/FB – just ten of 25 pitches were strikes
Logan Kensing, RHP: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB –11 of 20 pitches were strikes (55%)

Double-A Trenton (4-1 win over New Britain)
Austin Krum, DH: 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K, 1 HBP
Corban Joseph, 2B: 1 or 3, 1 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB – 58 walks in 567 PA last year, and 58 walks in 544 PA this year
Zoilo Almonte, RF: 0 for 5
Rob Lyerly, 1B: 1 for 5, 3 K – whiffin’ machine
Melky Mesa, CF: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K
Damon Sublett, LF: 2 for 4, 1 BB
Jose Gil, C: 3 for 5, 1 R, 1 RBI
Yadil Mujica, SS: 0 for 3
Addison Maruszak, 3B: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 1 BB
Jeff Marquez, RHP: 8 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K, 2 HB, 9-4 GB/FB – brilliant … he took the no-hitter into the sixth
Josh Schmidt, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB

High-A Tampa Game One (3-0 win over Lakeland in seven innings)
Abe Almonte, CF: 1 for 4, 2 RBI, 1 K – and now it’s a 34-game hitting streak
Kelvin Castro, SS & Ronnie Mustelier, LF: both 0 for 3
DeAngelo Mack, 2B & Tyson Blaser, C: both 0 for 2 – Mack drew a walk … Blaser got hit by a pitch and scored
Kyle Roller, 1B: 1 for 2, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB, 1 K – dude’s got a .370+ OBP and a .200+ ISO, little younger than I thought too (turned 23 just before the season)
Luke Murton, 3B: 1 for 3, 1 2B, 1 RBI – second career game at third
Cody Johnson, DH: 1 for 3, 2 K
Emerson Landoni, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 K
Zach Nuding, RHP: 3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 3-2 GB/FB
Preston Claiborne, RHP: 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 3-4 GB/FB, 1 E (throwing) – quietly having himself a nice year

High-A Tampa (5-2 win over Lakeland in seven innings) makeup of an August 17th rain out
Abe Almonte, CF: 0 for 3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 2 SB – and that ends the hitting streak … stupid seven inning games

Josh Romanski, LHP: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 1 WP, 9-4 GB/FB – very nice
Ryan Flannery, RHP: 1 IP, zeroes, 2-1 GB/FB

Low-A Charleston (1-0 win over Asheville)
Jose Rosario, SS & Kelvin DeLeon, RF: both 2 for 4, 1 2B – Rosario got picked off first and DeLeon struck out

Jose Mojica, 3B: 1 for 2, 1 BB, 1 K
Jeff Farnham, C & Jose Toussen, 2B: both 0 for 3
