Class A: Kane County Cougars 4 Burlington Bees 2
After awful start in which he gave up six runs and failed to get out of the second inning, Mack Lemieux’s start in this game looks much better in comparison. Mack Lemieux went five innings, and though he gave up just one run and six hits, he walked five batters, hit a batter, and threw three wild pitches. Lemieux faced two batters in the sixth inning without recording an out, and was relieved by Rafael Pujols. Pujols went 1.2 innings, and though he was hitless, he walked three batters and was tagged for unearned run thanks to a throwing error by Eudy Ramos. Kyler Stout threw 2.1 perfect innings, and struck out three.
In the first inning, after a groundout by Jose Caballero, Yoel Yanqui was hit by a pitch, and then Yan Sanchez singled, putting runners on first and second. After a pitching change, and a Ryan Grotjohn fly out, Yanqui and Sanchez pulled a double steal, only for Jancarlos Cintron to walk and load the based. With the bases load and two outs, Tra Holmes came through with a two out single that scored Yanqui and Sanchez. Yan Sanchez would be in the middle of the action in the third inning, when he would single, steal second, and then score on a Ryan Grotjohn double. Kane County would add an insurance run in the sixth inning, with Eudy Ramos hitting a double to lead off the inning, and Yoel Yanqui would single, scoring Ramos. Ryan Grotjohn was 2-4 with a pair of doubles. Yan Sanchez was 1-4 with a walk and two steals.
Class A Short-Season: Hillsboro Hops 1 @ Tri-City Dust Devils 4
Luis Frias went 4.1 innings and gave up just one hit and one run, and struck out seven, but walked four batters. Frias looks even better if you exclude the fifth inning, as the first four innings were scoreless with just one hit, two walks, and still with the seven strikeouts. Frias walked the first batter he faced in the fifth, who was caught stealing immediately by catcher Ryan January, only for Frias to walk the next batter. Brian Christian would get the next two outs, but allow the inherited runner to score. Christian went 2.2 innings, giving up one hit and one walk, while striking out three. Justin Garcia’s eighth inning would cost the Hops the game, as he gave up three runs on a hit and a walk.

Rookie: DSL D-backs1 6 vs DSL Padres 3
Argenis Bravo pitched five scoreless innings, and gave up just three hits and walked none, while striking out three. Rael Santos allowed one hit, but was extremely wild, throwing four wild pitches, walked three batters and hit two, and allowed three runs to score. Santos pitched the sixth and gave up two runs, and pitched to two batters in the seventh, and failed to get an out, and was charged with a third run as well. Aside from letting the one of the inherited runners to score, Jhonny Valdez pitched two innings, giving up a hit and two walks, while striking out two.
