Walter allowed his 1st hit & recorded his 5th strikeout in a scoreless 3rd.

Walter allowed a run on 3 hits on the 4th, but did pick up his 6th strikeout.

 

[JM3]

B2b strikeouts to end the inning (last inning it was strikeout/groundout.

Line so far for Ramirez...

3 IP
0 runs
3 hits
3 walks
1 hpb
5 strikeouts

He has not been so fortunate in the 4th.

 

[JM3]

JDE had a nice streak going to lower his ERA to 4.46 on July 16th. After 8 runs, 6 earned, in 3 innings so far today, it's 6.40.

Mercifully they finally pulled JDE after 3 more runs in the 4th.

Except, not that merciful since they brought in Jordan DiValerio & he allowed a 2-run homer to the 1st hitter.

JDE's final line (don't look if squeamish):

3.2 IP
12 runs
10 ER
10 hits
2 walks

Luis Talavera didn't really help, allowing a hit & a walk (& there was a double steal of home), allowing both inherited runners to score.

Salem down 3-1.

 

[JM3]

Walter allowed a run on 3 hits on the 4th, but did pick up his 6th strikeout.

Walter walked his 1st batter in the 5th, but no runs.

Valdez rbi groundout, 6-1 Worcester lead top 6.

 

[Manzivino]

Luis Guerrero pitched a 1-2-3 9th for Portland to earn his 18th save & lower his ERA to 1.55.

Corey Rosier was 3-3 with a double & a walk.

Tyler McDonough was 3-4 with a steal (17).

Nick Yorke was 2-3 with a walk.

Matthew Lugo was 2-4 (with 2 more strikeouts).

Guerrero seems like he's over his control issues post-Futures game, in 7 appearances in August he has a K/BB of 12/2 in 9.2 shutout innings. He should end up in Boston sometime next year.

Castro double, 13-4.

I know it's mostly just a heater, but I'm really starting to get aboard the Castro train. I think he's far enough away that they can leave him unprotected in the Rule 5 this year but he's starting to approach that Bonaci/Stephen Scott tier of bubble guys.

 

[JM3]

Walter walked his 1st batter in the 5th, but no runs.

Walter's final line:

5 IP
1 run
4 hits
1 walk
6 strikeouts

77 pitches, 51 strikes

Justin Hagenman in for the 6th.

Agree on all accounts. Need to give Castro a nice bump in the next rankings.

& I'd like to see Guerrero get a long look in Spring Training next year.

They are (were?) 1 game back of a playoff spot, but this has to be like the 5th ridiculous blown game in the last couple weeks.
