Twins Minor League Report (6/10): DanSan The Man

RED WINGS REPORT

Rochester 3, Indianapolis 5

Box Score

After a two-hour and thirty-seven minute rain delay, the Red Wings didn’t get a ton of offense. The offense that they did get, however, all came from the recently demoted Danny Santana. Santana, who had only played 24 AAA games before this season, went 4-for-5 with a double, his second in as many nights. (Do you think someone told him that Polanco was promoted and was playing in his spot at Target Field?)

Oswaldo Arcia was 1-for-4 and had an RBI double. He’s batting a AAA-season high .175.

Pat Dean cruised through four innings before allowing two runs in each of the fifth and sixth frames. He struck out four and allowed two walks and seven hits in his six innings of work. He took the loss to drop to 5-4.

Alex Meyer worked an inning and gave up a run. He walked one and struck out one.

A.J. Achter abandoned Meyer’s runner and struck out two batters while getting the last six outs.

Rochester has dropped a game and a half behind Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

CHATTANOOGA CHATTER

Chattanooga 6, Jackson 2

Box Score

The lineup looked a little different sans Polanco, but the result was the same: A win.

Byron Buxton was 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Travis Harrison moved into Polanco’s two-hole and tripled. Miguel Sano was 2-for-5 from the five-spot. He doubled and also committed his 13th error.

Heiker Meneses - playing shortstop in Polanco’s absence - had three hits (including a triple), two runs scored and three RBI.

Greg Peavey went six strong innings, allowing only two hits. He struck out three and walked one.

Nick Burdi relieved Peavey and struck out four of the seven batters he faced in two innings of work. He’s lowered his ERA to a season-low 4.44, mostly due to being dominant over the last month.

D.J. Johnson gave up the only two runs Jackson scored in the bottom of the ninth.

The Lookouts are now 35-23 and have extended their Southern League lead to 3.5 games thanks to its current six-game winning streak.

MIRACLE MATTERS

Ft. Myers 4, Lakeland 0 (5 innings)

Box Score

Instead of a double-header, the Miracle played more like a half-header, having their game cut short due to rain.

Fort Myers scored four runs in the first two innings to secure the lead and the win. Chad Christensen led the offense going 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI. Despite most batters only getting two plate appearances, six of the nine batters recorded at least one hit.

Mat Batts gets credit for a complete-game shutout, striking out one, walking one and allowing four hits.

The Miracle, who will play two games tomorrow, are 28-30 and one game away from being eliminated from first-half playoff contention.

KERNELS NUGGETS

Cedar Rapids 1, Great Lakes 2

Box Score

Not a lot of offense on either side of the ball on Wednesday, with the teams accumulating for only 10 hits. The Kernels had six of those, but unfortunately, those hits led to only one run.

Edgar Corcino, who had hit safely in all nine of his games this year, was moved to the top of the lineup recently. Today, he failed to hit safely. Nick Gordon was 0-for-4 in the two-spot.

Brian Navarreto had two hits and the catching duo of Alex Real and Brett Doe each had a double.

Felix Jorge went eight strong innings striking out four and allowing only four hits and a walk. He allowed a home run.

Cameron Booser walked one and struck out two in a relatively clean ninth. (Aside from the walk and balk.)

Cedar Rapids remains 3.5 games behind Quad Cities.

The DSL affiliate won this morning. Bonus baby Huascar Ynoa pitched four innings of no-hit ball. He’s yet to give up a run in his seven innings of work. He walked three and struck out two today.
