Louisville the only affiliate underway so far today. 0-0 in the Top of the 4th. Billy is 1-1 with a walk and the Bats' only hit so far, a single. Two stolen bases so far, one of second and one of third, to give him 13 on the year. Still with only one caught stealing.
Dayton is absolutely underway right now. They are up 2-0.
Louisville wasted a good effort in Yohan Pino's first start for the Bats: 5.1 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 2 BB. 3 K. Hamilton and Phipps had the only Louisville hits in a 2-1 loss. Phipps' was a HR. Mark Prior threw two scoreless innings, with 0 BB, 3 K.
Dayton's bullpen (Bender, Chacin) gave up six runs in the final two innings and the Dragons fell 7-5. Winker, heating up and batting fourth, hit his first HR of the season. He also walked twice. Junior Arias had a couple hits.
Chris Berset, of all people, has a HR and 2B for Bakersfield. Moscot fared better this time: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 4 K. But the Blaze trail 4-2 after six.
Daniel Renken got roughed up in the first inning. Pensacola trails 4-0 in the second.
However, Tucker Barnhart's double puts him at .325. At .325, Barnhart is quite a player. On the other hand, it's April.
Dominic D'Anna's 3-run HR has Bakersfield tied 5-5 after eight.
Have to give Moscot some time, he skipped a level. Good chance he will get better over time.
Kyle McMyne was not up to the challenge of the bottom of the ninth. Bakersfield comes up short, 6-5.
Michael Gilmartin had a pair of doubles.
Donald Lutz's second hit of the game was a 2-run HR, his fifth, and Pensacola now trails 6-3 in the sixth.
In spite of the poor results, Renken walked none and fanned six in his five innings.
Man, hope Lutz keeps it up. He would be a perfect (and low-cost/controllable) solution to the Reds LF questions (although I still holdout forlorn hope to re-sign Choo).
