4/14 Minor League Report! NANDO! Antonini!

New Orleans 6, Round Rock 7

Ivan Maldonado is having an insane start to his season. In 4 outings totalling 4.1 innings, he's allowed 10 hits and 5 walks (a staggering 3.46 WHIP), and 11 runs, 10 earned, a grotesque 20.77 era. And he turns 28 this June. Not good. At all. He came into a 6-3 game, and allowed a run, and left with 2 on. Nate Field allowed both of those runs to score, and then one of his own, taking the loss. Fernando Tatis had a homer, and drove in 2, aand single RBI went to Argenis Reyes, Michel Abreu, Caleb Stewart and Tony Armas

Binghamton 6, Akron 3

Jon Niese was victimized by his defense, as Jose Coronado made 2 errors and Emmanuel Garcia made 1, leading to 3 unearned runs off Niese. Niese allowed 5 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 4. He struggled with his command at times, and was lifted after just 4.2 innings. The high powered Binghamton lineup was 1 hit thru 5, but exploded for a 4 spot in the 6th, and 2 in the 9th, rolling to their 3rd straight victory. Fernando Martinez paced the 11 hit attack with 3 hits, and Mike Carp had 2. Emmanuel Garcia continued to struggle mightily, taking an 0-fer, dropping his average to a frigid .150.
