Angels rough up Hughes in blowout

David Adams has been battling a stiff neck, and now he’s on the DL. Like I said the other day, at least it’s not his ankle. Luke Murton takes his roster spot.

Triple-A Empire State (6-3 win over Syracuse) first “home” game of the season, this one in Syracuse
LF Kevin Russo: 2-4, 2 RBI — not hitting for much power, but he’s a singles machine
C Frankie Cervelli: 0-5, 1 K — just two singles and two walks in seven games
1B Steven Pearce & SS Ramiro Pena: both 0-2, 1 R — Pearce walked twice and struck out twice … Pena walked and got hit by a pitch
DH Jack Cust: 2-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K — six for his last 12
CF Dewayne Wise: 2-3, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K — still hittin’
3B Brandon Laird: 1-4
RF Colin Curtis: 2-4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 K
2B Doug Bernier: 3-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI — nine for his last 23 (.391)
RHP Adam Warren: 6.2 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 10/5 GB/FB — 57 of 89 pitches were strikes (64.4%) … picked a runner off first … much, much better than his first start
LHP Juan Cedeno: 1.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1/0 GB/FB — 14 of 25 pitches were strikes (56%)
RHP Cody Eppley: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1/0 GB/FB — ten pitches, seven strikes

Double-A Trenton (8-5 loss to Akron)
RF Abe Almonte, LF Dan Brewer & DH Zoilo Almonte: all 0-4 — Zoilo whiffed once, the other two guys twice
2B Ronnie Mustelier: 2-4, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 CS — three two-hit games in his last four contests
CF Melky Mesa: 3-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 SB — had three hits in his previous 22 at-bats
1B Luke Murton & 3B Kevin Mahoney: both 1-4 — Murton drove in a run and struck out three times … Mahoney scored a run and whiffed
C Jeff Farnham & SS Addison Maruszak: both 1-3 — Farnham walked, scored, struck out, and allowed a passed ball … Maruszak doubled and drove in two
LHP Josh Romanski: 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 HB, 1 Balk, 7/4 GB/FB — 46 of 86 pitches were strikes (53.5%)

High-A Tampa (8-0 win over Daytona)
CF Eduardo Sosa & 1B Kyle Roller: both 0-3 — Sosa drew two walks and scored twice … Roller walked and whiffed
2B Jose Toussen, LF Ramon Flores & RF Rob Segedin: all 2-5 — Toussen scored twice, drove in a run, and struck out … Flores scored, drove in a run, and struck out … Segedin drove in three, scored a run, and struck out twice
C Hector Rabago: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 K
DH Neil Medchill & 3B Garrison Lassiter: both 1-3, 1 R, 1 BB — Medchill doubled and drove in a run … Lassiter struck out in his season debut

DH Tyler Austin: 4-4, 2 R, 2 2B, 1 RBI — dude is out of his mind right now … he’s got ten hits in his last 19 at-bats (.526) and eight of those hits have gone for extra bases: four doubles, two triples, two homers … hitting .429/.429/1.000 right now
