4/11 Minor League Report! MURPHY, EVANS, CARP!

New Orleans 1, Round Rock 2

This was a pitchers duel the whole way, as Joselo Diaz shone for a second straight outing (coming off a 6 ip, 3 h, 2 er, bb, 5 K outing) - going 7 shutout innings, allowing 5 hits and K-ing 5. Duaner Sanchez, on what is expected to be the front end of his first back to back in almost 2 years, threw a scoreless inning, although he threw more balls (7), then strikes (5), in his (7+5=12) total pitches. Ivan Maldonado blew the save, and the game, in the 9th. The only players with hits were Argenis Reyes and Jesus Feliciano.

Savannah 3, Columbus 8

This game was never in doubt, as Columbus scored 4 in the 2nd and didn't look back, opening up an 8-0 lead after 6. Elvin Ramirez got roughed up for 5 runs in 2.2 innings, and Maikel Cleto didn't do much better, getting touched for 3 in his 3 innings of work. Offensively, Greg Veloz had a 3 run homer, but his average has sunk to .176. Francisco Pena allowed 6 SBs in 8 attempts, and also had 2 passed balls, and he went 1 for 4, so it was a rough night for the young catcher.
