Was at the game last night.

It's kinda too bad that the juggernaut has been broken up, with Betts, Wilkerson, and Shaw moving up.

Marerro is amazing at short - i saw him get to a ball in the hole to save a run that everyone in the ballpark had already chalked up. His double was a rope, but he hit into one dp and would hit into another, but their ss was a butcher.

Couch has been good but was giving up lasers last night. Those 10 hits weren't cheapies.

Love Sean Coyle - in the Brock Holt mold.

STORIES

PAWSOX

Game Story

Anthony Ranaudo tossed seven dominant innings, combining with two relievers on a three-hitter while Christian Vazquez homered and drove home four runs as the Pawtucket Red Sox blanked the Durham Bulls, 7-0, on Friday night at Durham Bulls Athletic Park to salvage a split in the four-game series.

Ranaudo (6-4) allowed two baserunners, a second-inning double to Justin Christian and a third-inning single to Cole Figueroa while striking out seven. He threw 95 pitches and retired the final 13 batters he faced in matching his longest outing of the season.

Jose Valdez (eighth inning) and Chris Resop (ninth inning, one hit) finished the shutout as Pawtucket pitching combined to retire 19 of the final 20 batters.

Vazquez started his big night with a two-out, three-run homer in the first inning against Bulls starter Enny Romero. Vazquez’s blast to right, the first homer of his Triple-A career, scored Corey Brown and Travis Shaw who had each singled.

SEADOGS

Game Story

Keith Couch doesn’t hang many breaking balls.And Christian Walker doesn’t miss many.

Walker crushed his league-leading 16th home run Friday night to help the Bowie Baysox to a 6-4 win over the Portland Sea Dogs at Hadlock Field.

The loss was the first for Couch (7-1). He was his usual controlled self, walking one and throwing 60 of his 93 pitches for strikes.

But Bowie, the second-best hitting team in the Eastern League to Portland, touched Couch for 10 hits and four runs.

“He was around the strike zone,” Portland Manager Billy McMillon said. “That’s a good, veteran ball club over there. They put together some good at-bats.”

Walker, a first baseman and one of the Orioles’ top prospects, is batting .312. He also popped up and struck out against Couch.

“He had a good mix of stuff. He could throw anything in any count,” Walker said.

It was the first home run Couch allowed in 742/3 innings.

Walker is a former college teammate of Red Sox and former Sea Dogs center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. They stay in touch. Walker knows Bradley is scuffling at the plate but has seen him turn it around before.

“Everybody struggles,” Walker said. “It’s a matter of making adjustments and sticking to what he knows.”

SALEM

Game Story

Edison Sanchez singled home David Nick off of Sox reliever Kyle Kraus with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Hillcats over the Red Sox 2-1. Salem’s last four losses have been by one run in the dying stages of games.

Salem opened the scoring in the top of the second as Kevin Heller led off with a single and stole second. The throw from Hillcats catcher Joseph Odom was wild, which allowed Heller to make it to third. Mario Martinez promptly singled him home to put the Sox up 1-0.

Lynchburg tied the score at one in the bottom of the third as shortstop Jose Peraza hit his first home run of the season over the left field wall.

Both Salem starter Luis Diaz and Lynchburg’s Wes Parsons turned in solid seven-inning performances, but neither pitcher figured in the decision as the game was left to Kraus and Ryan Kelly for the Hillcats.

In the ninth, David Nick laced a one-out double to right. Eric Garcia singled on a shallow pop-up not deep enough to score Nick, which left him at third. Will Skinner grounded out, setting the stage for Sanchez’s game-winning single.

DRIVE

Game Story

Good pitching will win a lot of games, and the Rome Braves (19-41) pitching staff was proof of that on Friday night, as they stymied the Greenville Drive (29-30) offense in a 6-1 victory in the series opener.

Rome starter Tyler Brosius (1-3) was the story of the night, as he kept the Drive hitless through his six innings of work. He allowed one unearned run and four walks and struck out one.

The Braves took a 1-0 lead in the fourth after Jacob Schrader's triple and Carlos Franco's RBI groundout, and they added four more runs in the fifth against Teddy Stankiewicz (4-4). Johan Camargo and Victor Caratini hit RBI singles in the frame, and Ross Wilson and Franco connected for RBI doubles.

Wendell Rijo was responsible for both the Drive's only run and their first hit on the night, as he walked in the fifth and scored on a Rome error, and he laced a seventh-inning double to end the no-hit attempt.

Franco continued his hot hitting in the seventh inning with an RBI double against Jonathan Aro. He finished the night 2-4 with three RBI. Schrader had three hits for Rome, while Camargo and Connor Oliver added two hits apiece.
