RP Emiliano Teodo: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, HBP, 2 SO, 3.52 ERA
Austin Gomber’s fastball was dipping into the mid-80s, but he was having his most effective start until rain stopped him at two innings. Effectively Starter Two, Josh Sborz pitched two full innings for the first time but gave up a couple of homers.
Emiliano Teodo hit yet another batter with a sinker but located the other four for quality strikes including two swinging strikes. Despite his troubles, his swinging-strike rate is above the league average.

C Julian Brock: 3-5, 2B, HR (2), .257/.341/.486
I harp on Amarillo’s hitter-friendly status, but goodness. Frisco averaged nine runs and over 17 baserunners per night but left the panhandle with a series split.
The last time David Davaliilo placed four runners on base by a combination of walks and hit batters was September 2024. 
Hi-A: Hub City 10, at Wilmington (WAS) 9 (12)

C Ben Hartl: 2-4, BB, HBP, SB (1), .190/.292/.190
The quiet Hub City offense recovered from a 5-2 7th-inning deficit and scored in every extra inning. Joey Danielson was imperfect for the first time, walking three of seven batters. In the bottom of the 10th, Jesus Gamez had two outs and a 2-2 count but issued two more balls to bring home the tying run. The batter: Devin Fitz-Gerald, now hitting .333/.463/.519.
Lo-A: Hickory 2, Salem (BOS) 4
Hickory: 6 hits, 5 walks, 7 strikeouts
Opponent: 10 hits, 0 walks, 13 strikeouts
Record: 12-3, 3 G up
SP Jesus Lafalaise: 4.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 0 BB, 6 SO, 76 P / 47 S, 0.73 ERA
RP Michael Trausch: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO, 0.00 ERA
RF Hector Osorio: 3-4, 2B, .269/.424/.558
LF Paulino Santana: 0-1, 3 BB, SB (7), .302/.464/.415
The win streak ends at nine.
Baseball America said the following about Paulino Santana in ranking him Texas’s #22 prospect: “His speed, defense and arm all settled in around average or slightly better, giving him a fair chance to stick in center field. Doing so would be a boon for his future, since his offense is unlikely to profile in a corner.”
Santana hasn’t played a minute in center this season, so let’s check out that offense. The primary criticisms were poor swing decisions and over-aggressiveness versus non-fastballs. I lack the data and observations to comment specifically about the latter, but the former appears to have improved substantially. Last year in 67 plate appearances at the level, Santana drew four walks and struck out 27 times. In a nearly equal number of 2026 appearances, those figures are 12 and 17, respectively. That K rate is still elevated but vastly improved. He’s swinging much less often and making much better contact when he does swing.

Dustin Harris is an Astro following a waiver claim. He’d batted .250/.438/.333 in six games for the White Sox after being called up to replace the injured Austin Hays, but Chicago had been grooming infield prospect Sam Antonacci for grass duty all season in AAA and decided he was ready, at Harris’s expense.
