Astros Prospect Report: Games of June 13, 2016

AAA Fresno Grizzlies: WON 4-1 over the Sacramento River Cats (SFG)

Jake Mayfield's three-run home runs lifts Grizzlies past Sacramento. Mayfield faced Mike Broadway in the ninth inning. Broadway allowed a single to Matt Duffy and a double to Tyler Heineman with the score tied at 1-1. Mayfield blasted a 1-2 pitch to left center to put the Griz up 4-1 with two outs in the top of the ninth.

Mike Hauschild pitched seven innings of one-run baseball for Fresno and struck out seven. Juan Minaya picked up the win with his work in a clean eighth inning. James Hoyt picked up his 13th save of the season, striking out the side.

AA Corpus Christi: WON 8-1 over the San Antonio Missions (SDP)

Every single hitter in the Hooks lineup reached base at least once with the exception of Conrad Gregor, who was 0-4 on the night.  Derek Fisher had a pair of walks in his efforts for the evening.

Alex Bregman was 1-4 with a single and a walk, scoring two runs in the contest.

Nick Tanielu (2-5 with a double and a home run en route to a four-RBI night) and Roberto Pena (2-4 with two solo home runs) each had big nights, as did Alejandro Garcia.

High-A Lancaster: LOST 8-1 to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes (LAD)

Low-A Quad Cities: WON 12-0 over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (MIL)

The still-Kyle Tucker-less River Bandits rode a veritable gold rush of singles, doubles, and walks to a rout of the visiting Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Monday behind superlative efforts on the hill from Justin Ferrell, who won his third game, and Albert Abreu in relief, who earned the four innings save.

Six different Bandits had more than one hit, and every single hitter for the Astros Single-A team had at least one hit.  Anthony Hermelyn, Christian Correa, Kristian Trompiz, Pat Porter, and Connor Goedert each had doubled in the game.  Every other hit by the team (out of sixteen total hits) was a single, and the hit parade was accompanied by seven walks of Bandits hitters.

On the hill, Ferrell was more than up to the task. He allowed a double and two singles while walking one hitter and striking out two in five innings of work.

Albert Abreu entered the game and was effectively wild.  He walked three hitters over his four innings, but struck out six and allowed just one hit - a double - in a pleasantly-improved appearance for him after a rocky start to the 2016 season.
