Astros Prospect Report: Games of July 7, 2015

AAA Fresno loses close one to Tacoma: (L 8-7)

Rough outing for Hauschild (which roughly means beefy kid), 6 ER on 11 H in 4.2 innings.   No homers but 2 triples and a double, so he just got banged around a bunch, even though a lot of balls in play were on the ground which is good to see.  Duffy and Heineman were the only multi hit players of the night.  Curious thing is that Tyler White was 0x4 but had 2 RBI on basically the same play, driving in the same runner in both.

AA Corpus Christi get swept by Springfield despite well pitched game: (L 1-0)

Jack Mayfield was 4x4 in his AA debut.  A lot of missed opportunities with 10 guys left on base.  Gregor was the biggest culprit leaving 5 of those on, GIDP twice, K and infield popout, not a great day for him.  Kemmer guned out a guy to prevent a run and was 2x4 with a double to provide the only XBH of the night.  Qualls on rehab started the night working a perfect inning before Alaniz took over limiting the Cardinals to 1 ER over 7 IP.

A+ Jethawks hold Quakes to 0.0 on Richter scale: (W 4-0)

In our first bit of good news for the day Lancaster shut out Rancho Cucamonga on great pitching by Chrismon and Mills (Mills making his team debut).  It helps when two 2014 draft mates give the team an early lead with Fisher taking a walk and Reed two batters later blasting a league-leading 2-R HR (22) to get them on the board early.  Other RBI's by McDonald and Fisher.

A Quad Cities splits double header with Clinton: (W 1-0, L 6-1)

Despite winning the first game the River Bandits bats were very quiet for the night only collecting 4 hits and 2 R total between the 2 games...  Paulino dominated in 6 innings striking out 8 walking none and scattering 5 hits, Thompson held them in check with a perfect inning.  Nothing else of note between the two games that jumps out at me.

Game 1:

Game 2:

R Greeneville gets swept by Kingport: (L 6-4)

Ugh, another sweep against us, first CC then Greeneville.  Both were road losses if that makes you feel better (it doesn't for me).  Mizell did most of the damage for the Astros driving in 3 runs and going 3x4 for the night.  Duarte and Roa with multi hit games.  Delis and Abreu threw 6 scoreless IP to keep the game close but bats never came back.

R GCL Astros vs GCL Braves:

Game suspended in the 2nd inning and nothing of note from our prospects in that time.
