Not a great sign for how your season is going when a pretty good outing like this drops your ERA to 7.60, but it was indeed a pretty good outing for the Cuban right-hander and ideally he could start stringing together more starts like this.
In other action, on a fairly quiet night with the Lookouts and Dragons taking a breather:
Alex Blandino, Louisville: 2-4, BB, RBI
Aristides Aquino, Louisville: 1-3, BB, RBI
Juan Graterol, Louisville: 2-4, RBI
RJ Alaniz, Louisville: 1.1 innings, 0 hits, walks, or runs, 2 strikeouts
Joe Mantiply, Louisville: 1 inning, 0 hits, walks, or runs, 3 strikeouts
Jonathan India, Daytona: 2-4, 2B
Drew Mount, Daytona: 1-3. This was all the offense the Tortugas had.
John Ghyzel and Dauri Moreta both pitched 2 scoreless innings in relief of Wennington Romero (5 innings, 4 earned runs)
Danny Lantigua, Greeneville: 1-4, 2B
Carlos Reina, Greeneville: 2-3, 2 doubles, BB
Raul Juarez, Greeneville: 1-4, HR, RBI
Cristian Olivo, Greeneville: 1-2, BB, RBI
Raul Wallace, Greeneville: 2 innings, 0 hits, walks, or runs, 2 strikeouts. Impressive pitching debut for the converted outfielder from the Dominican Republic.
Jonathan Willems, Billings: 2-5, BB, RBI. Young infielder (20) proved to be overmatched in Dayton and is looking to get back on track in Montana.
Reniel Ozuna, Billings: 1-3, HR, 2 walks, RBI. Similar story as Willems.
Leonardo Seminati, Billings: 2-5. Probably my favorite Italian in the Reds system!
TJ Hopkins, Billings: 2-5, 2B, 2 RBI. Senior sign out of South Carolina who seems to have some abilities.
Justin McGregor, Billings: 5 innings, 6 hits, 1 walk, 3 strikeouts, 2 runs. You may or may not recall that McGregor is last year's 31st rounder out of Oral Roberts.
Nick Travieso, Billings: 0.2 innings, 1 hit, 3 walks, 1 strikeout, 3 runs, 1 earned run. Not the ideal comeback but still, the first appearance for the 2012 first round pick since around the time that Ken Bone was a thing.
Frainger Aranguren, Billings: 1.1 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 strikeouts, 0 runs
Ryan Dunne, Billings: 1 inning, all zeros, 1 strikeout
Ashton Creal, AZL Reds: 2-5, RBI. This year's 21st rounder out of that higher learning institution we all know and love, John A. Logan College.
Chadwick Tromp, AZL Reds: 2-3, 2 RBI. The prodigal son returns. They're forming in a straight line. They're goin through a tight wind. The kids are losing their minds. Chadwick Tromp!
Wendell Marrero, AZL Reds: 1-4, HR, RBI. First hit is a HR for the 18-year-old 11th rounder out of Puerto Rico.
Caleb Van Blake, AZL Reds: 2-3, BB, stolen base
Fidel Castro, AZL Reds: 1-1. El Comandante is quickly becoming a Redszone legend.
Rafael Franco, AZL Reds: 1-4. Franco's small sample size numbers may not jump out at you (.264/.360/.322 between this year and last year in the AZL) but it seems worth noting this centerfielder from Mexico turns just 18 tomorrow. Feliz cumpleaños, Rafael!
Esmil Torres, DSL Reds: 2 walks. Who knows what on Earth to make of this but Torres has just 4 hits in 26 at-bats yet has walked 14 times, compared to just 5 strikeouts.
Darlin Guzman, DSL Reds: 1-4, 2B, BB
Ilvin Fernandez, DSL Reds: 2-4, 2B. Fernandez, a 17-year-old Dominican shortstop signed last season, is hitting .395 through 11 games in the DSL.
Lenniell Perez, DSL Reds: 1-4, 2B, 2 RBI
Williams Yanez, DSL Reds: 3.1 innings, 1 hit, 0 walks, 2 strikeouts, 0 runs
