Minor League Recap 5/25

Written by Greg Fertel | 25 May 2008

Scranton loses to Indianapolis, 6-4.

Jeff Marquez got the start, allowing 6 runs (3 earned) on 9 hits and 3 walks in 6 innings of work, striking out 2 in the process. One aspect that is encouraging is that his sinker seemed to be working beautifully, garnering a 14-2 groundout-flyout ratio.
Chris Britton pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
Eic Duncan was 0 for 5.
Rehabbing Wilson Betemit was 1 for 4 with a walk.

Jason Lane was 2 for 5 with a double.
JD Closser was 2 for 4.

Trenton shuts out Altoona, 1-0.

Alfredo Aceves got the start and was ballin'. In 9 shutout innings, Aceves scattered 4 singles and walked none while striking out 6. He also had a 13-8 groundout-flyout ratio.

Charleston loses to Augusta, 9-4.

Zachary McAllister got the start and allowed 9 runs (4 earned) on 9 hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings of work, striking out 4 in the process. Although the numbers look ugly, he didn't pitch as badly as the numbers indicate. Shoddy defense by Brandon Laird (2 errors) led to many of the runs. If Brandon doesn't commit the errors, from my estimation, ZM probably allows 2 runs in that same span.
Craig Heyer allowed a hit in 2 2/3 innings of relief, while striking out 3. However, the hit he allowed happened to be a bases clearing triple allowing 3 inherited runners to score.
Austin Krum was 0 for 3.
Justin Snyder was 2 for 5 with a double.
Brandon Laird was 0 for 5 with 3 strikeouts.
Austin Romine, dhing, was 1 for 3.
Carmen Angelini was 0 for 4.

Walter Ibarra was 2 for 4 with 2 doubles.
Braedyn Pruitt was 2 for 3 with a walk.
