Dominican Summer League (Rookie-FRL)

Late on Tuesday morning, the 21-5 DSL Astros Blue defeated the DSL Marlins, 7-1.

Felipe Tejada (1-0, 3.32) started for the Astros, earning the win and allowing just three baserunners while striking out seven in five innings. His GameScore of 71 was nearly triple that of his Marlins counterpart, Miguel De Los Santos (0-2, 3.52), who racked up a 24 in the category. De Los Santos allowed six runs in three innings for the loss.

Batavia Muckdogs (4-15)

New York-Penn League (Class-A Short Season)

Tuesday night, the Muckdogs dropped a 5-1 home decision to the 9-10 Brooklyn Cyclones at Dwyer Stadium, in front of 591 die-hard fans.

The Muckdogs scored their lone run early, when Corey Bird bunted safely to lead off the game, advanced to second on a Nabil Crismatt wild pitch, took third on an Eric Gutierrez sacrifice fly, and scored on another Crismatt wild pitch. Unfortunately for the good guys, it was the only run they could muster, totaling just four hits for the game.

The Cyclones got on the board in the fifth inning, on a Hengelbert Rojas RBI-groundout, then scored again in the sixth to take the lead on a Blake Tiberi sacrifice fly. Brooklyn added a run in the eighth on a Jacob Zanon sacrifice fly, then scored two more in the ninth on two more sacrifice flies, by Arnaldo Berrios and Nick Sergakis.

Perez, a 21-year-old right-handed pitcher, was Miami's fifth round selection here in the 2016 draft out of Missouri State. He's only allowed five baserunners in his first seven innings of professional ball.

South Atlantic League (Single-A)

The Grasshoppers defeated the visiting 42-40 West Virginia Power, 2-1 at NewBridge Bank Park with 3,938 in attendance on Tuesday night for their sixth win in a row.

Pitching was the name of the game for both teams, as both staffs combined to allow only six hits in total. Chuck Weaver (9-4, 2.37) started and won for the Hoppers, earning a 68 GameScore in six innings, allowing two hits, two walks, one earned run, and striking out three. He got 47-of-79 pitches over the plate. Bret Helton (4-6, 3.81) started and lost for the Power, and allowed two earned runs on four hits and two walks whiles striking out seven. CJ Robinson pitched a perfect ninth for his 15th save of the season for Greensboro.

Greensboro got on the board in the first inning, when Anfernee Seymore walked, stole second, then scored on a Josh Naylor single into right field for a 1-0 lead.

The Power tied it in the fourth, when Logan Ratledge singled, stole second, took third on a Carlos Munoz single, and scored on a Ryan Nagle sacrifice fly. The Grasshoppers took their lead back right away and held onto it, with an Aaron Blanton RBI-double in the bottom of the frame to score Justin Twine.

Florida State League (Single-A Advanced)

Jacksonville Suns (35-47)

Southern League (Double-A)

The Suns defeated the 44-37 Biloxi Shuckers on Tuesday, with 1,865 in attendance at MGM Park in the second game of the five game series. The Shuckers and Suns have now split the first two contests.

Jacksonville scored first, on a Garrett Weber first inning RBI-single, and Biloxi answered with a Javier Betancourt RBI-double in the third. The Suns took the lead for good in the fifth, when Yefri Perez stole his 38th base of the season then took home on an error by opposing third baseman Gabriel Noriega.

The Suns scored two insurance runs in the sixth, on a throwing error by Shuckers catcher Jacob Nottingham, and a Yefri Perez RBI-double. Biloxi finished the game with four errors. Coincidentally, the Suns didn't make any.

He had 57-of-86 pitches in the zone and finished with a 71 GameScore. Taylor Jungmann (0-1, 5.00) lost by giving up six walks and three hits in five innings, somehow for only two runs.

New Orleans Zephyrs (39-44)

Pacific Coast League (Triple-A)

The 46-40 Round Rock Express shutout the Zephyrs, 8-0 at Zephyr Field with 2,881 fans watching. Yohander Mendez (1-0, 0.00) pitched five shutout innings for the win, giving up three walks and three hits while striking out seven. Asher Wojciechowski (2-3, 6.30) was less impressive, allowing seven runs in 2.2 innings on seven hits and two walks. Although he did get 44-of-75 pitches over the plate, he finished with a impressive (for the wrong reasons) GameScore of 1 (one).

I don't think you really want to read too much into the how, so lets just say that the Express tattooed Wojciechowski for seven runs on seven hits, including three home runs. We'll just hope that Asher grows from this experience.
