Minor Details: Games of May 4

1 Comment

Byron Buxton is now over .300.  Excellent pitching by D. J. Baxendale and Tyler Jay.

ROCHESTER 8, SYRACUSE 2 IN SYRACUSE

Doubles by Byron Buxton and Jorge Polanco and a home run by Adam Brett Walker II helped the Twins take a 3-0 lead after two.  The Chiefs closed to 3-2 in the fourth, but Buxton and James Beresford each had an RBI double in the seventh and the Red Wings were not threatened again.  Pat Dean went six innings and gave up nine hits and a walk, but only two runs.  He struck out three.  Buxton was 2-for-4 with a walk in addition to the two doubles, raising his average to .302.  Polanco was 1-for-4 and is now hitting .310.  Walker II was 2-for-3 and the home run was his fourth of the season.

MOBILE 1, CHATTANOOGA 0 IN MOBILE

The BayBears scored in the first inning and six pitchers took it from there to shut out the Lookouts.  D. J. Baxendale took a complete game loss, giving up four hits and a walk with five strikeouts.  He's now 1-4 with a 2.92 ERA, so he clearly doesn't know how to win.  Chattanooga had eight hits, but they were all singles and two players had five of them, as Leonardo Reginatto was 3-for-3 and D. J. Hicks was 2-for-4.  Daniel Palka was 0-for-4 to drop his average to .311.

FORT MYERS 3, PALM BEACH 0 IN PALM BEACH

Tyler Jay struck out seven in 6.1 innings, allowing five hits and two walks.  The Miracle did not have a run-scoring hit, as two of the runs scored on sacrifice flies and the third by a hit batsman with the bases loaded.  Edgar Corcino stayed hot, going 3-for-4.  In his last three games, he is 7-for-12 with two home runs.  Nick Gordon was given the day off.

CEDAR RAPIDS 8, LANSING 2 IN LANSING (8 INNINGS--RAIN)

Luis Arraez had a two-run double in the second, the Kernels scored three in the third, and they kept control of the game from there on.  Arraez went 3-for-5 with two doubles, driving in four and raising his average to .323.  Nelson Molina was 2-for-4.  LaMonte Wade went 0-for-3 with a walk and is now batting .341.  Andro Cutura pitched six innings, giving up two runs on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts.
