Today’s report is brought to you by the Honda EU2200i portable generator. No, I didn’t nab a sponsor. I mean literally. It’s running the fridge and wifi after the storm that ripped through central Austin yesterday. My place actually missed the worst of the hail by about one-half mile, but we received 1.5 inches of rain in about 15 minutes. Not even the residue of Harvey put so much water in my yard in such a short period.
Box Scores
AAA: Round Rock 4, Reno (ARI) 5
Round Rock: 10 hits, 0 walks, 10 strikeouts
Opponent: 8 hits, 6 walks, 5 strikeouts
Record: 25-28, 8.5 GB
SP Robert Dugger: 3.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 4 BB, 1 SO, 63 P / 31 S, 18.26 ERA
RP Michael Plassmeyer: 3.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 SO, 3.25 ERA
RP Emiliano Teodo: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 SO, 7.04 ERA
3B Cody Freeman: 2-4, HR (4), .287/.335/.433
The worst weather also spared Round Rock but did delay the proceedings. Emiliano Teodo didn’t miss any bats but didn’t get himself into excessive trouble with his control. Robert Dugger is still trying to regain his form.
AA: Frisco 2, at Amarillo (ARI) 11
Frisco: 3 hits, 1 walk, 9 strikeouts
Opponent: 13 hits, 7 walks, 8 strikeouts
Record: 27-19, 0.5 G up
SP Kohl Drake: 0.2 IP, 2 H (1 HR), 2 R, 2 BB, 2 SO, 35 P / 19 S, 2.97 ERA
RP Florencio Serrano: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 SO, 3.29 ERA
LF Aaron Zavala: 1-3, HR (4), BB, .258/.429/.417
2B Keyber Rodriguez: 1-4, HR (2), .279/.327/.381
Six elongated plate appearances were enough to end Kohl Drake’s night very early. Florencio Serrano let one of three inherited runners score but certainly did his job in keeping the game close and sparing more bullpen usage. Amarillo opened things up in the middle innings. Aaron Zavala is one homer shy of his 2023 and 2024 total.
Hi-A: Hub City 7, Winston-Salem (CHW) 6
Hub City: 9 hits, 7 walks, 6 strikeouts
Opponent: 9 hits, 3 walks, 11 strikeouts
Record: 25-22, 0.5 GB
SP Aidan Curry: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 6 SO, 77 P / 49 S, 6.31 ERA
RP Joey Danielson: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 0 SO, 2.45 ERA
2B Casey Cook: 1-3, 2 BB, SB (11), .164/.256/.217
CF Dylan Dreiling: 2-5, 3B, SB (8), .224/.337/.378
3B Gleider Figuereo: 2-3, HR (8), HBP, .240/.315/.418
C Julian Brock: 2-4, SB (5), .183/.258/.261
Hub City always led after the 3rd but the game was still a back-and-forth affair with the Dash scoring in each of the last four innings. Casey Cook’s bases-loaded walk in the 8th would prove critical. Gleider Figuereo is second in the organization with eight homers.
Lo-A: rain
