AAA: Round Rock 5, Oklahoma City (LAD) 0
Round Rock: 8 hits, 4 walks, 8 strikeouts
Opponent: 4 hits, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts
Record: 19-22, 9 GB
SP Adrian Houser: 8.2 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 4 SO, 92 P / 61 S, 5.03 ERA
RP Codi Heuer: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 SO, 3.00 ERA
CF Alejandro Osuna: 2-4, 2 2B
SS Jonathan Ornelas: 2-4, 2B, .188/.297/.212
Adrian Houser held a no-hitter into the 7th and nearly tossed a shutout.
Alejandro Osuna had two opposite-field doubles down the line. One was a bloop that took a funny hop, the other a soft liner (76.7 MPH but honestly looked sharper off the bat), but they count as much as any blast off the wall.
After 28 games without an extra-base hit, Jonathan Ornelas has two in two days.
AA: Frisco 12, Corpus Christi (HOU) 9
Frisco: 12 hits, 7 walks, 4 strikeouts
Opponent: 12 hits, 1 walk, 10 strikeouts
Record: 21-14, tied for first
SP Kohl Drake: 5 IP, 6 H (1 HR), 4 R, 0 BB, 6 SO, 76 P / 53 S, 2.96 ERA
LF Aaron Zavala: 2-4, 3B, BB, .256/.434/.439
SS Sebastian Walcott: 2-4, HR (), BB, .252/.360/.409
RF Abi Ortiz: 3-4, 2B, HR (5), .268/.348/.463
2B Cam Cauley: 2-3, 2B, BB, SB (12), .232/.307/.360
Abi Ortiz ended the game with a grand slam, capping a seven-run 9th. Sebastian Walcott homered in the 8th to Corpus’s lead to four. Kohl Drake went walkless for the first time but allowed a season-high six hits, all for extra bases.
Hi-A: Hub City 6, @Greenville (BOS) 9
Hub City: 8 hits, 3 walks, 12 strikeouts
Opponent: 14 hits, 6 walks, 6 strikeouts
Record: 17-18, 3 GB
SP Aidan Curry: 1.1 IP, 5 H (1 HR), 7 R, 3 BB, 1 SO, 52 P / 31 S, 8.15 ERA
DH Keith Jones II: 1-4, HR (4), BB, .248/.408/.396
1B Arturo Disla: 2-4, BB, .238/.299/.402
CF Dylan Dreiling: 1-5, HR (3), .224/.331/.353
Boy, another tough day at the office for Aidan Curry. He’s striking out plenty of batters (on the whole, not yesterday), but nothing else is working out. Hub City has been outscored 29-12 in the 1st inning. Since consecutive 1-0 wins, the Spartanburgers have lost eight of ten.
Lo-A: Hickory 3, Kannapolis (CHW) 14
Hickory: 7 hits, 2 walks, 8 strikeouts
Opponent: 15 hits, 8 walks, 11 strikeouts
Record: 16-18, 3.5 GB
SP Kamdyn Perry: 3 IP, 6 H (2 HR), 6 R, 3 BB, 2 SO, 55 P / 29 S, 6.65 ERA
RP Brock Porter: 2 IP, 3 H (1 HR), 1 R, 1 BB, 3 SO, 3.15 ERA
CF Yeremi Cabrera: 3-4, 3 2B, .206/.342/.258
Kamdyn Perry’s line isn’t good (.267/.366/.372) but isn’t bad enough to warrant a 6.55 ERA. Unfortunately, his strand rate is awful, courtesy of last night and an earlier outing in which nearly everyone who reached base scored. Perry also has a combined no-hitter and another in which he threw five no-hit innings.
Yesterday’s 47 pitches were a season high for Brock Porter. Opponents are hitting .181/.314/.306 with 13 hits and 14 combined walks and HBPs.

Five Years Ago Yesterday
I wrote about changes to the summer draft, various mock drafts (with some names you might not wish to see).
I screwed up a spreadsheet intended for today’s “2007-2024” item, so I uploaded my sporadic 2020 reports through mid-May to the website.
