8/21 Minor League Report! SHAW!

New Orleans 8, Albuquerque 16

Yeah, it was Parnell who started tonight, and yeah, he got lit up. Bobby gave up 6 runs (5 earned) on 7 hits in just 2.1 innings to take his second loss of the season. It's not like his bullpen did anything to help him out, though. Tim McNab, Eddie Camacho, and Jose Santiago (especially Santiago) all were equally ineffective, those 3 gave up 10 runs, 9 earned, in 3.2 innings on 12 hits.

Binghamton 0, New Hampshire 2

A not so good night for the pitching prospects continued with Michael Antonini in Binghamton, he got touched up for 2 runs on 5 hits and 4 walks in 3.2 innings to take his 2nd EL loss, as Binghamton lost 2-0. For a change, the bullpen was very good with 5.1 innings of 4 hit shutout ball, but the offense could muster nothing tonight.

The offense had 7 hits and 2 walks, but left every one of those runners stranded. Ryan Church, in what may have been his final rehab game (he's rumored to be coming up tomorrow, YAY!), went 0 for 4 out of the leadoff spot. Ambi Concepcion (0 for 3, BB, K, .244), Saloman Manriquez (0 for 4, K, .276) and Jose Coronado (0 for 4, .255) also took 0-fers. Mike Carp and Caleb Stewart had multi hit games.

St. Lucie 6, Palm Beach 2 - Game 1

Nick Carr was one out away from his 2nd straight victory, but had to settle for 4.2 innings of 1 hit 1 run ball. Nick Waechter picked up the win with 2 innings of 1 run ball, and German Marte got the final out of the game to pick up his 9th save.

The Mets put up back to back 3 spots in the 5th and 6th innings, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 6-1 lead. Josh Thole (5th, solo), and Joe Holden (1st, 2 run) hit homers in the 5th, and then Thole and DJ Wabick had run scoring hits in the 6th to power the late attack.

The offense had just 3 hits and walk, stranding all 5 runners (HBP). Ruben Tejada (1 for 3, .228), Ezequiel Carrera (1 for 3, K, .272) and Jason Jacobs (1 for 2, BB, .238, PB (7)) had the hits, everyone else took 0-fers.
