AAA - Fresno 4 Oklahoma City 1
Jarred Cosart logged a quality start, but the RedHawks bats were silent as they fell to Fresno by a score of 4-1. Brett Wallace reached base 4 times (2 singles, 2 walks) and raised his average since his demotion to .319, and Austin Wates added a pair of doubles and drove in the only run for the RedHawks (27-19), but they were about the only bright spots on offense. Philip Humber made his second appearance for the RedHawks, but struggled to find the strike zone and walked 2 of the 4 hitters he faced and hit a third before getting relieved by Kevin Chapman.
AA - Corpus Christi 10 Northwest Arkansas 4
Bobby Doran improved his record to 6-1 as the Hooks (27-19) cruised to a 10-4 win over the Naturals. Jonathan Meyer homered and drove in 4 and Max Stassi hit a pair of doubles and drove in 3 to lead the 13-hit attack. Stassi has now hit in 9 straight and he's 13 for 34 during that stretch raising his average on the year to .306. Nick Tropeano pitched the final four innings to earn his 5th save of the season.
Advanced A - Lancaster 8 Inland Empire 7
In a sloppy game featuring 8 errors, 18 strikeouts and 3 wild pitches, the JetHawks (26-20) edged out the 66ers 8-7. Carlos Perdomo and Preston Tucker each drove in a pair of runs and 8 different JetHawks scored at least once in the win. Delino DeShields Jr. entered the game as a defensive substitution and added a pair of stolen bases. Theron Geith (5-0, 2.29) earned the win with a scoreless 8th inning and Travis Ballew closed it out with a scoreless 9th for his 8th save.
Low A - Wisconsin 7 Quad Cities 4
Quad Cities (23-22) didn't get a hit until Terrell Joyce's home run to lead off the 7th inning and their late rally came up short as they were defeated 7-4 by the Timber Rattlers. Roberto Pena added a 2-run double and Carlos Correa drew a pair of walks and scored a run in a losing effort. Vincent Velasquez worked the final 4 innings and allowed just one hit while fanning 8.

Week 6 in Review
Humber is out. Ankiel is out. F-Mart is back in AAA. Edgar Gonzalez is an Astro again... BUT, despite a 2-4 week, the boys showed a lot of fight and nearly swept a 3-game series with the Angels before a bullpen meltdown in the final game of the series. Hey, it's progress...

The week started out well with a series win over the Mariners, but things quickly soured as the Astros franchise stayed winless at Fenway Park. Things aren't going to get any easier next week either with upcoming series against the Yankees and Tigers.

Astros Minor League Players to Keep an Eye On
AAA - Marc Krauss 1B/RF
Acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks as part of the Chris Johnson trade last season, Krauss is off to a solid start this seasons for AAA Oklahoma City. In 19 games, Krauss is 21 for 64 (.328) and he leads the team with 20 runs batted in. He's also slugged a team high 4 home runs, but more notably, he's only struck out ten times. A second round pick in 2009, Krauss had a decent showing this spring with the Astros posting a .476 on base percentage albeit in limited action. Krauss is the reigning PCL Player of the Week.
AA - Asher Wojciechowski RHP
Wojo came over to the Astros last season from Toronto in the J.A. Happ deal. In parts of two seasons with the Corpus Christi Hooks, Wojo has appeared in 13 games and posted an ERA of 1.62 and a WHIP of 0.95. This year, he's been even more impressive opening the year with 4 straight scoreless outings spanning 18 innings. Even when he did finally get scored on, he only allowed 2 runs in 5 innings of work. He's struck out 25 in 23 innings in 2013 while allowing just 13 hits and 6 walks.
Advanced A - Nolan Fontana SS
Houston's second round pick from 2012 is hammering the ball in 2013 hitting .387 with an on base percentage up over .500 thanks to an organization-best 24 walks. He's been particularly tough on lefties in the early going with 8 hits in 14 at bats and 9 runs batted in. He's hit six doubles, two triples, two homers, stolen four bases, and driven in 18 on the year, good for third best on the JetHawks. He also leads the team with 20 runs scored.
A - Vincent Velasquez RHP
A 2nd Round Pick back in 2010, Velasquez missed all of 2011 with Tommy John surgery. Limited to just 9 starts a year ago, he's off to a terrific start in 2013 allowing just 3 runs in 23 innings of work, good for an ERA of 1.17 and opposing hitters are hitting just .130 against him. Velasquez has an organization-best 3 wins to go along with 2 saves in 5 appearances, and he struck out a season-high 8 in his last start (5 shutout innings).
