5/18 Minor League Report! Evans!

New Orleans 5, Nashville 8

Willie Collazo's 2nd start didn't go nearly as well as his first, but he did leave with a 5-4 lead, but the combination of Joselo Diaz and Nelson Figueroa blew it in the 6th, allowing 3 runs.

The Zs offense was paced by 3 hits a piece from Jesus Feliciano and Victor Mendez, with Mendez hitting a 3 run homer in the 3rd. Anderson Hernandez (0 for 3, 2 BBs, K, .186), Chris Aguila (0 for 4, BB, K, .276) and Argenis Reyes (0 for 1, run, 2 BBs, .246) took 0-fers. The Zs fell to 21-22.

Binghamton 5, Erie 10

Bobby Parnell snapped a string of 3 straight solid outings (2 runs each, over 6.1, 5 and 7 innings) by getting absolutely BOMBED for 6 runs on 7 hits and 5 walks over 5 innings. Parnell's biggest culprit this season has been his walks. He's now walked 28 in 46 innings, a ridiculous 5.47 per 9 innings. Contrast that to only 24 Ks, or 4.70 per 9. He's got a 2.13 GO/FO ratio, and is holding EL batters to a .246 average, so the walks are the only thing holding Parnell back. Joe Hietpas (2 ip, er) and German Marte (2 ip, 3 er) put the game out of reach in relief.

Dan Murphy, Nick Evans and Caleb Stewart had multi hit games for the Mets, who fell to 2 under .500, 20-22. Eric Reed (0 for 4, K, .000), Jose Coronado (0 for 4, run, BB, .243), and Emmanuel Garcia (0 for 3, BB, .206) all went hitless. By the way - what would this be called? Rafael Arroyo 0 for 0, 4 BBs?

St. Lucie 1, Dunedin 3

Dillon Gee didn't pitch terribly (wasn't good, but wasn't horrible), allowing 4 hits and 3 runs over 5 innings, but the Met offense was held to a run on 7 hits, in losing their 35th game of the season. Emary Frederick and Ryan Coultas pitched 3 scoreless innings in relief, giving the offense a chance, but nothing happened.

Ruben Tejada, since hitting bottom around .200 a week ago, has gone 9 for his last 30 with a homer, 4 RBI, a walk and 3 Ks. He had another multi hit game today, his 5th in his last 9 GP. Bradley Hubbert also had a multi hit game. Luis Rivera (0 for 4, .237), DJ Wabick (0 for 4, .265), Salvador Paniagua (0 for 4, 2 Ks) and Chris Fournier (0 for 3, K, .500) had hitless games.

Savannah 5, Greenville 13

Scott Moviel also snapped a recent string of good starts, allowing 6 hits and 7 runs (2 earned) over 4.2 innings. A Joaquin Rodriguez 1 out error in the 4th opened the door for 3 runs in that inning, and a pair of errors by Matt Bouchard (his 16th) and Moviel (his 3rd) opened the floodgates for 2 more. Edgar Ramirez and Julio Polanco didn't fare much better, giving up 2 runs and 4 runs over 0.1 ip and 3 ip, respectively.

Greg Veloz (0 for 5, 2 Ks, .222) and Jacob Elgsti (0 for 4, 2 Ks, .220) took 0-fers, while Casey Craig, Carlos Guzman and Jose Jimenez had 2 hit games.
