The lack of quality hitting prospects is starting to show up in these days of summer as offenses struggled outside of Lakewood.

Worcester 12, Lehigh Valley 3

Hey! We had an old friend alert as Kolby Allard got the start for the IronPigs and actually pitched not too shabby. He allowed seven runs in five innings, but only three were earned thanks to a fielding error by Otto Kemp in the third innings with two outs that gave the WooSox four runs in the inning. Christian Cairo had a two RBI triple in the fourth inning to at least make it interesting for a while, but two more runs allowed by Allard and a nightmare relief outing for Evan Gates (2/3 IP, three hits, three walks, five runs allowed) salted this game away.

Hartford 7, Reading 4

Jean Cabrera continued his horrible season by giving up six runs in 4 2/3 innings for the Fightin’ Phils, chalking up yet another loss on his year. The offense did not help him at all, only notching three hits, though they did draw nine (!) walks from the Yard Goats, but outside a three-run home run from Pedro Leon, the big hit eluded them, wasting those scoring chances. Meanwhile, it might be time to officially declare Cabrera’s season a complete loss and let him try to recoup whatever confidence they can out of him by putting him in the lowest level they can, Roy Halladay style, to see if he can rediscover something, anything.

Jersey Shore 7, Greenville 6

Five different BlueClaws had multihit games on the night, led by Devin Saltiban and his three-run home run. Jersey Shore in total amassed eleven hits and backed a strong bullpen performance to outslug the Drive and walk them off. Who hit the walk off?

Tyler Pettroni joined Saltiban by hitting a two-run home run in the bottom of the ninth to clinch the win for Jersey Shore, the only win in the minor league organization for the Phillies on the day.

Bradenton 8, Clearwater 3

Your hitting stars for the day for Clearwater were Alirio Ferrebus and Juan Villvicencio, both of whom were 2 for 4 on the night. Villavicencio had a double and a two-run home run while Ferrebus had a single and an RBI double. Sadly, they were about the only positives for the Threshers as the rest of the offense had a combined one hit, the relief pitching struggled with MT Morrissey giving up five runs in his inning of work and the Marauders marauded the Clearwater lineup.
