ssA: Salem-Keizer lost to Boise 7-4

Salem-Keizer: 2B Raynor Campbell: 3 for 5, 3B, 2B
Salem-Keizer: C Andrew Burg: 1 for 2, 2 BB

Salem-Keizer: SP Shane Kaufman: 5.0 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 5 K--1 WP
Salem-Keizer: RP Matt Graham: 2.0 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB--1 HR

Campbell extended his hitting streak to seven games with the Volcanoes' only multi-hit line that included his 2nd triple and 6th double.  Burg also reached base three times.

Kaufman had not allowed more than four hits in any of his previous five appearances (two starts).  He yielded 8 H this time but just 2 R.  With 5 K and 0 BB, he also lifted his K/BB ratio above 2.00.  Graham made his second relief appearance following two starts.  He has been too hittable in his pro career so far with 21 H and 3 HR in 14.1 IP (.344 BAA).

R: Giants defeated Indians 3-2

Scottsdale: 2B Wes Hobson: 2 for 4, 3B, BB
Scottsdale: RF Devin Harris: 2 for 4, HR, 2B

Scottsdale: SP Kendry Flores: 5.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
Scottsdale: RP Ryan Bean: 2.0 IP, 1 BB, 4 K--1 WP, 1 BK

Playing in his eleventh pro game, Harris had his 1st pro HR and 3rd double.  Hobson was one of two other rookie Giants with two hits as he reached base three times.

Making his fifth start, Flores had his longest start of the season and his first start with no earned runs, as well as his first start with no walks.  His ERA remains just above 7.50, but he got his first win.  Bean, who had struck out just three batters in his previous four appearances, struck out half his eight batters.

DSL: Giants defeated Yankees1 9-5

Dominican: CF Jesus Galindo: 2 for 2, 2B, 2 BB, SB
Dominican: SP Luis Angeles: 4.0 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
Dominican: RP Yeini Martinez: 4.0+ IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB

Batting ninth, Galindo (19.10 y.o.) reached base in all four plate appearances and had 5 RBIs.  He also had his 24th SB.  Breaking the stereotype, he appears to be the kind of hitter willing to walk off the island given his 25 BB but just 17 H (.200 AVG).  Despite not striking anyone out, Angeles (20.7 y.o.) and Martinez (19.7 y.o.) allowed just 1 ER (although 5 R) through 8.0 IP.  Both have ERAs below 2.00.
