Games of Tuesday, May 11
A number of solid, yet few spectacular, performances on the farm tonight made this decision tricky, but I'm awarding the macePOD to Carson Spiers, Daytona: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K.
The undrafted rookie and former Clemson reliever is too old for low-A, but the 23-year old has made a couple solid starts to begin the year as he tries the transition to a starting role.
Other notables:
Mark Payton, Louisville: 2-5, R
Scott Heineman, Louisville: 2-5
Ashton Goudeau, Louisville: 5 IP, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K. Who? I missed the Reds claiming the former 27th-rounder last week from the Rockies. The Arkansas native has pitched nearly 600 MiLB innings in seven different orgs.
Braden Shipley, Louisville: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K; 1-1 with the bat
Brad Brach, Louisville: IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Alejo Lopez, Chattanooga: 2-4, 2B, R, 2 RBI. Slashing .414/.485/.968 through first week.
Mark Kolozsvary, Chattanooga: 2-3, 2B, R, RBI. A goofy .643/.737/2.165 line so far. I'll always have a soft spot for 5'8, 180 pounders.
Hunter Greene, Chattanooga: 5 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K. Gave up a longball, but I love how he pounded the zone. 83 pitches, 60 for strikes.
Michael Byrne, Chattanooga: 4 IP, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Brian Rey, Dayton: 2-5, HR, R, RBI, SB. Five HRs in six games.
Quin Cotton, Dayton: 3-5, SB
Eric Yang, Dayton: 2-4, BB
Miguel Hernandez, Dayton: 2-4, HR, R, RBI, BB, SB
Eddy Demurias, Dayton: 2 IP, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K
Braxton Roxby, Dayton: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K
Tyler Callihan, Daytona: 2-3, 2B, BB, R, RBI, SB
