In this bullpen game, every pitcher gave up their share of Buffalo (Blue Jays AAA) runs. The team was bogged down, moreover, by uninspired offense. Despite drawing 8 walks, they hit 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position, had just four batters record a hit, and never held a lead. By the time Buffalo’s Je’Von Ward hit a homer off Wyatt Olds, it was a 4-2 game that felt out of reach despite not being so.
Portland: W, 2-1 (F/10) (BOX SCORE)

Red Sox fans in Hartford, Connecticut (Rockies AA) that stayed for some extra baseball were treated to Max Ferguson’s third hit of the night driving in what would become the winning run after a game that lacked offensive firepower across the board on Franklin Arias’ night off. This wasn’t due to a lack of runners getting on, as, and stop me if you’ve heard this before in this season organizationally, they couldn’t bring the runners home. This game shouldn’t have been close, but it was. At least Portland pulled it out.
Also notable was John Holobetz putting together one of his best outings of the season in five innings after an opener from a rehabbing Danny Coulombe. I gotta be honest real quick: I don’t really see the appeal of rushing back a 36-year-old mop-up guy with an ERA nearing 6 and an inability to strike guys out to a high level in relief. I’d instead opt to give some younger relief arms some shine or at least some experience. But what do I know?

If you’re playing the “The Drive have still only won once this month” game with me, know that Greenville has now lost thirteen of their last fourteen games. Marcus Phillips couldn’t make it out of the fourth, Shea Sprague got peppered by Hot Rods bats (Rays High-A) and Greenville was hitless in 11 chances with runners in scoring position. Perhaps the one bright spot was Yophery Rodriguez mashing his 10th home run of the year, but even that cut the deficit to 5-2 and Bowling Green would score two in the next inning anyway.
Salem: : L, 5-6 (BOX SCORE)

Salem found themselves in an early 3-1 hole in Fredericksburg (Nationals A) but fought back. In the end, the only home run of the game the RidgeYaks let up back in the first inning ended up being the difference in this one as even Ty Hodge’s two hits to drive runners in couldn’t place Salem in the win column in this hard-fought game.
Have a scorching Saturday.
