High Class A: Jupiter Hammerheads
W 7-2 @ Tampa Yankees
Brent Keys, LF: 2-for-5, 1 BB
Austin Barnes, DH: 0-for-2, 3 BB, 1 SO
Austin Nola, SS: 1-for-4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 SO
Justin Nicolino, SP: 6.0 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 SO
Justin Nicolino's transition to the Florida State League has been bumpy, to say the least. Nicolino has struggled to miss bats, striking out an average of 3.9 batters per nine innings before yesterday. He finally looked like his old self again, cleaving through a talented Tampa Yankees lineup that includes Mason Williams and Gary Sanchez. Nicolino's ERA fell to 3.32.
Low Class A: Greensboro Grasshoppers
W 8-7 vs. Hagerstown Suns
Viosergy Rosa, 1B: 3-for-5, 2 R, 1 HR, 2 BB
Mason Hope, SP: 5.0 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO, 1 HR
Viosergy Rosa hit a total of five home runs in his first three professional seasons. This year in Greensboro, Rosa has hit nine home runs in just 150 plate appearances. Rosa was drafted in the 29th round in 2010. He is currently hitting .254/.355/.507.
After walking 11 batters across his previous three starts, Mason Hope's control seemed better against Hagerstown. Unfortunately, the 20-year-old right-hander gave up a home run at a very inopportune time. The very real, very oddly named Will Piwnica-Worms went yard off Hope with the bases loaded in the fourth inning.
