Down on the Farm - 4/14/13

AAA - Memphis 10 Oklahoma City 3

The RedHawks (5-5) took a 3-2 lead into the 7th, and the bullpen fell apart from there as the Redbirds scored 8 times over the final three innings en route to a 10-3 win. Jordan Lyles pitched 5 strong innings allowing just 2 runs on 5 hits, but left without a decision. The offense was paced by 3 hits from Trevor Crowe, 2 hits and 2 walks from Robbie Grossman, and the 2013 debut of Fernando Martinez who went 0 for 3 in his first rehab start, but did drive in a run. Jake Elmore extended his hitting streak to 9 games with a double and Brandon Laird also had a pair of hits in a losing effort.

AA - Tulsa 6 Corpus Christi 3

The Hooks (7-3) managed just 5 hits, 2 of them by catcher Carlos Perez, as they came up short against Drillers, falling 6-3. Nick Tropeano (0-2) started for Corpus and went 5 innings allowing 3 runs on 5 hits while fanning 4. Austin Wates stole his 5th base of the year, but the Hooks were just 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position.

Advanced A - Lancaster 6 Modesto 1

The JetHawks (7-3) scored 5 times in the 8th inning highlighted by a 3-run homer from Matt Duffy, his fourth of the year, and defeated the Nuts 6-1. Backup catcher MP Cokinos added a solo homer, and Preston Tucker, Brandon Meredith and Andrew Aplin all contributed two hits apiece to pace an 11-hit attack. Chris Devenski fanned 7 in 4 scoreless innings of relief work to earn his second win of the year.

Low A - Quad Cities 3 Peoria 2

Rio Ruiz slugged his first home run of the season and Carlos Perdomo was 2 for 3 with a run scored starting in place of Carlos Correa as Quad Cities improved to 7-2 with a 3-2 win over the Chiefs. Vincent Velasquez started and pitched 5 solid innings to improve to 2-0 on the season while John Neely tossed a scoreless 9th to earn his first save.
