Minor Details: Games of July 6

A fine game for Stephen Gonsalves.  A Miracle comeback falls short.  A Kernels comeback does not.

LEHIGH VALLEY 2, ROCHESTER 0 IN LEHIGH VALLEY

The Iron Pigs scored single runs in the third and sixth and that was all they needed.  The Red Wings had only four hits and the only time they got a man into scoring position was when Adam Brett Walker II hit a two-out double in the fourth.  Jason Wheeler struck out six in six innings, giving up two runs on nine hits and two walks.

CHATTANOOGA 6, BIRMINGHAM 0 IN CHATTANOOGA

Stephen Gonsalves pitched six shutout innings and a four-run sixth, helped by four walks, made a 2-0 game a 6-0 game.  Gonsalves gave up three hits but five walks with five strikeouts.  Zach Granite was 2-for-4 with a walk and is batting .301.  Mitch Garver was 2-for-5.  Trevor Hildenberger pitched a scoreless inning of relief.  His ERA is 0.92 and his WHIP is 0.65 with 32 strikeouts and 4 walks in 29.1 innings (24 games).  He's 25 years old--seems like it may be time to see what he can do in AAA.

ST. LUCIE 4, FORT MYERS 3 IN ST. LUCIE

The Miracle came back from a 4-0 deficit by scoring three in the seventh; however, their last nine batters were retired.  Keaton Steele opened the game with three no-hit innings, but ended up allowing four runs on six hits and a walk with three strikeouts in six innings.  Joe Maloney hit a two-run homer.  LaMonte Wade was 1-for-3 and is batting .400.  T. J. White was 0-for-3 with a walk and is batting .301.

CEDAR RAPIDS 9, WISCONSIN 8 IN CEDAR RAPIDS (12 INNINGS)

Mitch Ghelfi's three-run homer put the Timber Rattlers up 8-7 in the top of the ninth, but Luis Arraez delivered a two-out RBI single to send the game to extra innings.  Arraez led off the twelfth with a walk, was bunted to second, took third on a ground out, and scored on a walkoff wild pitch.  Starter Eduardo Del Rosario pitched 5.2 innings, giving up three runs on eight hits and one walk with two strikeouts.  Arraez was 4-for-5 with a double and a walk, driving in four and raising his average to .333.  Sean Miller was 3-for-6 with a three-run homer (his third) and a double.  Jaylin Davis, in his Class A debut, went 0-for-4.

ELIZABETHTON AT BRISTOL

Rained out.

GCL TWINS 4, GCL RAYS 2 AT TWINS

It was scoreless through five, but Gorge Munoz had a two-run single-plus-error in the sixth and Tyree Davis homered in a two-run seventh.  Tyler Fox pitched five shutout innings, giving up two hits and no walks with four strikeouts.  The Twins had only four hits, but Lean Marrero had two of them, going 2-for-2 with a walk.  He is batting .333 (3-for-9).  Callan Pearce gave up an unearned run but still has an ERA of 0.00 in five innings (four games).

DSL TWINS 5, DSL DODGERS1 3 AT DODGERS1

The Twins built a 5-0 lead going into the bottom of the ninth, then held on as the Dodgers1 scored three times and had men on second and third with one out.  A popup and a strikeout ended the game.  Juan Mojica struck out five in 5.1 scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks.  Yeison Perez was 3-for-4 with a double.  Jorge Parra was 2-for-4 and is batting .367.  Agustin Marte was 0-for-5 to drop his average to .354.  Victor Tademo was 1-for-3 with a double and a walk and is still batting .333.  Edgar Herrera was 1-for-4 and is batting .304.
