Cannonballs Coming: Four hits for Pablo Reyes

-- A.J. Morris was impressive in his first start of the season, throwing six shutout innings in Indianapolis' 5-0 win over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.  Morris allowed four hits and a walk, and struck out three.  Pedro Florimon was 2-3 with a double and Jose Tabata also went 2-3.  Elias Diaz was 2-4.  Alen Hanson played second base and went 0-3.

-- Altoona lost to Erie, 8-1.  Jason Creasy continued to struggle, allowing five runs, three earned, on seven hits and three walks in six and a third innings.  The Curve had only two hits, singles by Stetson Allie and Andy Vasquez.

-- Bradenton beat Palm Beach, 5-3.  Edwin Espinal went 3-3 with his fourth HR and Austin Meadows went 2-5.  Reese McGuire was 1-4.  Barrett Barnes went 1-5 and struck out four times.  Cody Dickson gave up three runs on four hits and two walks in five innings.  He struck out four.  Tyler Eppler threw the last four innings, allowing no runs on two hits and no walks, while fanning six.

-- The West Virginia Power scored in each of the first seven innings and slipped past Lexington, 8-7.  Pablo Reyes (pictured) went 4-4 with a double and his ninth HR.  Taylor Gushue was 2-3 with his third HR and Jordan Luplow 2-4 with a double.  Cole Tucker was 1-5 and Connor Joe 1-4.  Starter Alex McRae gave up six runs on nine hits in four innings, although he managed to strike out six.  Yeudy Garcia threw the final five innings to get the win.  He allowed just one unearned run, one hit and one walk, while striking out four.

-- The West Virginia Black Bears edged Auburn, 4-3.  Like many of this year's college draftees, J.T. Brubaker gradually seems to be overcoming some initial problems.  He threw shutout ball for the second time in three starts, going five innings and allowing just two hits and two walks.  He fanned five and threw 53 of 76 pitches for strikes.  Maximo Rivera and Deybi Garcia each had two hits.  Kevin Newman went 1-4 to extend his hitting streak to eight games (albeit with just ten hits).  Kevin Kramer was 0-4 with three strikeouts.

-- Bristol beat Danville, 7-6, in eleven innings.  Carlos Munoz went 3-5 with two doubles and three RBIs.  Jordan George went 2-6 and singled in the winning run with two outs in the top of the 11th following an intentional walk to Munoz.  Erik Lunde was 2-6 with a triple and Henrry Rosario was 2-5.  Trae Arbet entered the game after Logan Ratledge got hit by a pitch and went 2-4.  Gage Hinsz gave up three runs, two earned, in three innings on four hit and a walk.  He struck out one.  Tanner Anderson struck out five in three innings of relief, but also blew a one-run lead in the bottom of the 9th.

-- The GCL Pirates got torched by the Braves, 10-3.  Chris Plitt gave up seven runs on seven hits in three and a third innings.  He did strike out six while walking none.  Jhoan Herrera was 2-3 with a double.  Ke'Bryan Hayes didn't play.  He came out during his last game, so he may have some sort of minor injury.

-- No result was available for the DSL Pirates.
