Bird homers again in River Dogs win

July 22, 2013 by Mike Axisa 58 Comments

Game 99: Texas
Darvish, Rangers cruise to easy win over Yanks

1B Greg Bird was named the Low-A South Atlantic League Offensive Player of the Week following his monster week, which included a three-homer game. Congrats to him. Also, RHP Sam Demel has been activated off the Triple-A DL, reports Donnie Collins.

Both Triple-A Scranton and Double-A Trenton were rained out. They’ll both play doubleheaders tomorrow.

High-A Tampa (2-1 win over Palm Beach)

  • CF Mason Williams & 2B Rob Refsnyder: both 1-4 — Refsnyder got caught stealing
  • DH Peter O’Brien: 0-4, 1 K
  • RHP Scottie Allen: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 6/5 GB/FB
  • RHP David Herndon: 2 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 2/1 GB/FB — seventh appearance at this level and tenth in Florida overall … I wonder when the rehab assignment will move up a level or two

Low-A Charleston (8-4 win over Hickory)

  • CF Jake Cave: 2-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI — second pro homer for the team’s sixth rounder in 2011
  • SS Cito Culver: 0-5, 1 K
  • 1B Greg Bird: 3-5, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI — seventh homer in his last ten games and tenth homer in his last 25 games
  • 3B Dante Bichette Jr.: 2-5, 1 R, 2 K, 1 E (fielding)
  • 2B Angelo Gumbs: 1-4, 1 R, 1 HR, 3 RBI — nine hits in his last 28 at-bats (.321) with a double and two homers
  • LHP Dan Camarena: 6 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 6/0 GB/FB — 29/3 K/BB in his last 44 innings

Short Season Staten Island (8-2 loss to Mahoning Valley)

  • CF Michael O’Neill: 2-4, 1 K, 1 E (fielding) — 43 strikeouts (31.2%) and five walks (3.6%) in 138 pro plate appearances
  • 3B Eric Jagielo: 0-4, 2 K
  • LF Brandon Thomas: 1-4 — eleven hits in his last 36 at-bats (.306) with two doubles and a homer
  • 1B Bubba Jones: 1-4, 1 K
  • RHP David Palladino: 2.2 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1/1 GB/FB, 1 E (fielding) — 25/12 K/BB in 23.1 innings
  • RHP Cale Coshow: 3.1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 WP, 1 HB, 4/1 GB/FB

  • 2B Gosuke Katoh: 4-4, 2 R, 1 3B, 1 CS — that’s his fifth triple in 21 pro games, typing him for the farm system lead with Heathcott and Cave
  • RF Austin Aune: 1-4, 2 RBI
  • 3B Chris Tamarez: 1-4, 1 K
  • RHP Luis Severino: 5 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 4/6 GB/FB — 32/6 K/BB in 26.1 innings

  • 3B Miguel Andujar: 1-3, 1 R, 1 K
