Results for May 7th

Memphis lost 9-4 to Albuquerque to close out their series with the Isotopes. I’m guessing they aren’t to sad to see them leave since the topes have taken 3 of 4. Troy Cate gave up 5 runs over 3 and 1/3 innings. I wonder if that brings to a close the Troy Cate as starter experiment. He hasn’t been even remotely good since joining the rotation. John Rodriguez was 2 for 3 with a walk. Brendan Ryan and Nick Stavinoha were each 1 for 3. Box Log
Springfield won 4-3 against Arkansas. Mitch Boggs gave up 1 run over 6 and 1/3 innings. He seems to have either really good or really bad outings. Chris Perez gave up a 2 run homer (the first runs he’s given up since April 5th) but still managed to pick up the save. Jarrett Hoffpauir was 1 for 3 with a homer. Tyler Greene was 1 for 2 with a stolen base. He’s had a nice resurgence lately and has bumped his average from .193 on April 27th to .233 today. Box Log
Palm Beach lost 7-1 to Sarasota. Tyler Norrick gave up 2 earned runs over 7 innings with 4 strikeouts, but he took the loss due to a lack of support from his offence and the bullpen. Brandon Yarbrough was 1 for 4 with a homer. Jose Martinez was 3 for 3. Box Log
Quad Cities split a double header with Cedar Rapids.
-They won the first game 4-1. Blake King gave up 1 run over 6 innings with 5 stakeouts. However he had something of a Rick Ankiel moment in the sixth. He sailed through the first 5 innings and got the first two batters in the sixth, but the next batter reached on a single. He then threw 3 consecutive wild pitches to allow the runner to score. To complete the Ankiel experience, he then struck out the batter to end the inning. Brandon Buckman was 4 for 4 with a homer. He’s either leading or tied for first in the Midwest league in a number of offensive categories including rbis and homeruns. Box Log
-They lost the second game 4-2. Brandon Dickson had his worst outing since the first game of the season. In fact, it was almost identical to the first game of the season. He gave up 4 runs over 3 and 2/3 innings with 3 strikeouts. Even after that outing, his ERA is only 3.15 which indicates how good he’s been in all of his other outings. Brandon Buckman added another hit. Jim Rapoport was 1 for 3 with a homer. Box Log
