Javy Guerra improved to 5-3 with the win. He gave up two runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Giuseppe Norrito improved to 4-0 on the season with a decent enough start in the Suns 5-4 win over the Barons.  He gave up three runs on five hits with one strikeout in six innings of work.

Kevin Howard went two for three with a double, a walk and a run.  A.J. Ellis went two for four with a run.

Miguel Pinango fell to 2-4 on the season with a tough start in Vegas’ 10-3 loss to Tucson.  His tough inning was the second.  After a two out fielding error, he gave up a pair of two run homers that axcounted for his four unearned runs.  He gave up two more in the sixth for a total of six runs.

Wilkin Ruan went two for three with an RBI and a run in the loss.  Choo Freeman went two for four with a double and a run.

Michael Gardner improved to 1-0 on the season since joing the Raptors with a great start in their 8-1 win over Orem.  He gave up just two hits and two walks with six strikeouts in six solid innings.

Jovanny Rosario went two for four with a triple, two RBIs and a run in the win.  Jaime Ortiz belted a solo homerun and he finished with two runs scored.

Kyle Smit improved to 1-0 with five shutout innings of relief in the GCL Dodgers 8-1 win over the GCL Marlins.  He gave up just one hit and he struck out one.

Alfredo Silverio went three for five with a double and two RBIs.  Gabriel Casanova went two for four and he scored four runs.

The Loons were double bageled as they were shutout in both of their games against Fort Wayne.  In game one, a solid start by Johsua Wall went to waste.  He gave up just one run on one hit and two walks with three strikeouts in seven innings.  Eduardo Perez’s single was the only baserunner for the Loons.

In game two, the hitting still wasn’t there but the pitching was hit hard as well.  Steven Johnson ended up taking the loss and while he gave up five runs, only one of them was earned because the Loons made four errors in the game.  And the hitters picked up just two singles to make for a pathetic doubleheader.

Not only did Marlon Arias give up five runs in 2 1/3 innings in his start, but Jordan Pratt gave up four more in his three innings to truly blow the five run lead the hitters game them in the second innings.  Pratt took the loss and he fell to 2-4 on the season.

Ryan Rogowski was the hitting star in the 10-5 loss.  He went two for five and he drove in five runs.

Jacksonville dismantled Birmingham 15-7 and there were plenty of hitting stars in the game.  Jimmy Rohan went three for five with two RBIs and three runs.  Kevin Howard went four for six with a double, a run and an RBI.  James Tomlin had an unusual game.  He had just one hit (a double) but he drove in three and scored three runs.

Mark Alexander picked up the win with three mediocre innings of relief.  He gave up two runs on two hits and a walk.

William Juarez fell to 3-3 on the season with a tough start in Las Vegas’ 12-7 loss to Tuscon.  He gave up eight runs on ten hits and two walks in just 2 2/3 innings.
