*All results from games played on Thursday, July 16, 2015

Triple-A - Las Vegas 51s (73-59)_______________________________________

LAS VEGAS 10, NEW ORLEANS 6 (Box)

What happens in Vegas, also often happens, uh, elsewhere in the Pacific Coast League.

• 2B Dilson Herrera: 0-4, R, RBI, 2 BB, 2 K
• CF Darrell Ceciliani: 1-4, R, 2B, 2 RBI
• PH Dan Rohlfing: 0-1, K
• 3B Eric Campbell: 1-2, 2 R, 3 BB
• 1B Johnny Monell: 4-5, 2 R, HR, 4 RBI, K; Have a day, Mr. Monell
• C Kevin Plawecki: 2-5, R, 2B, RBI, K
• RF-LF Brandon Allen: 1-5, 3B, 2 RBI, 2 K
• SS Matt Reynolds: 1-3, R, K
• PH-SS Danny Muno: 0-2, 2 K
• LF-CF Eric Young Jr.: 2-5, R, 2B
• P Darin Gorski: 1-2, R
• RF Travis Taijeron: 1-2, K
• P Darin Gorski: 5.0 IP, 10 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 2 K
• P Cody Satterwhite: 1.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K; His name hasn't come up as a potential September bullpen arm, but it's a big arm and all things considered, he's done pretty well for Vegas this year.
• P Chase Huchingson: 1.0 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 0 K
• P Zach Thornton: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Double-A - Binghamton Mets (69-59)_____________________________________

BINGHAMTON 3, ERIE 1 (Box)

If you are in a Double-A playoff race, there are worse strategies out there than a six inning rehab start from Steven Matz. That, and a two-run bomb from Josh Rodriguez is all the B-Mets needed to extend their lead to three games over Trenton for a wild card spot.

• 2B L.J. Mazzilli: 1-4, K
• SS T.J. Rivera: 1-4, R, K
• 3B Josh Rodriguez: 1-4, R, HR, 2 RBI, K
• DH Brock Peterson: 0-3, BB, K
• 1B Vince Belnome: 0-3, 2 K
• CF Joe Benson: 1-3, R, 2B
• LF Jonathan Galvez: 1-2, RBI
• C Xorge Carrillo: 1-3
• RF Jared King: 1-3
• REHAB ALERT: P Steven Matz: 6.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K; That'll play
• P Gabriel Ynoa: 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K; Some scuttlebutt that Ynoa might be a September call-up to help fortify the pen. The stuff certainly could play up there, but I wonder if this is just unsourced "well, he's on the 40" speculation.
• P Jon Velasquez: 1.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (30-28 // 65-63)_____________________________________

NO GAME (SCHEDULE)

Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (37-19 // 76-50)__________________________________

SAVANNAH 4, ASHEVILLE 3 (Box)

Savanah also beat Asheville 4-3 the last time I did a daily reports. Gnats went 30-6 in the interim. There is a reason Jose Leger won BA's best managerial candidate in this league. Dude gets it.

• 2B Jonathan Johnson: 0-5
• SS Luis Guillorme: 4-5, R, 2 2B, SB; Guillorme has heated up as the weather has gotten warmer (though I guess it always hot in Savannah. He is starting to get a bit of national attention now, and you all probably know my feelings on the glove by now, but the slash and bunt style he uses at the plate is a tough road to take as defenses and spray charts get better at higher levels. Tough to bet against 80 makeup guys though.
• RF Wuilmer Becerra: 0-4, R, BB, SB
• 3B Eudor Garcia: 2-5, R, 2 RBI; Garcia has quietly put together a pretty nice season for the Sand Gnats, though the K-rate and defensive profile bear further watching.
• 1B Michael Katz: 1-2, R, 2 BB, K
• LF John Mora: 0-3, BB
• DH Tomas Nido: 1-4, 2 RBI, 2 K
• PR-DH Oswald Caraballo: 0-0
• C Natanael Ramos: 1-4, K
• CF Patrick Biondi: 0-3, BB, 2 K
• P Casey Delgado: 6.1 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 4 K
• P Ben Griset: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
• P Luis Mateo: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 1 K
• P Alberto Baldonado: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

SS-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (30-33)_______________________________________

HUDSON VALLEY 4, BROOKLYN 0 (Box)

Wasn't planning on dropping in on a Brooklyn team that is prospect poor and just playing out the string, but then they promoted Desmond Lindsay. You win again, JW.

• SS Alfredo Reyes: 1-4, K, SB
• 2B Vincent Siena: 0-2, 2 BB
• 3B David Thompson: 1-4, K, SB
• DH Jeff Diehl: 1-4
• 1B Zach Mathieu: 1-4, 2B, K
• LF Hengelbert Rojas: 1-4
• CF Desmond Lindsay: 0-4, 2 K; BUST
• RF Enmanuel Zabala: 0-4, 2 K
• C Manuel Hilario: 0-2, BB, K, 2 E
• P Gaby Almonte: 6.0 IP, 10 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
• P Brandon Welch: 3.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
• P Ruben Reyes: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
• P Christian Montgomery: 1.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (35-27)__________________________

KINGSPORT 1, GREENEVILE 0 (Box)

Behind a strong slot from 2014 overslot prep pick Eric Manoah, Kingsport is starting to pull away in the Appy League West playoff race.

• LF Kevin Kaczmarski: 2-5, 2B
• 2B Luis Carpio: 0-5, 2 K; Probably not the best day to drop this commentary in, but I only do one of these a month: Carpio has a better case as the #1 prospect in the system then most of the names that will be bandied about for that honor this offseason.
• 1B Dash Winningham: 0-4, 3 K
• DH Patrick Mazeika: 2-3, R, BB, SB
• 3B Luis Ortega: 1-4, K
• SS Milton Ramos: 2-2, RBI; After a short slump upon his return to Kingsport, Ramos has been tearing the cover off the ball. Hitting .343 over his last ten games, and I was impressed with the bat.
• CF Ivan Wilson: 0-3, BB, K
• RF Arnaldo Berrios: 1-4, 3 K
• C Darryl Knight: 0-3
• P Erik Manoah: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 6 K
• P Chase Ingram: 2.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K
• P Witt Haggard: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

• 1B Victor Moscote: 0-3, R, BB
• 3B Franklin Correa: 2-3, R, BB, E
• DH Yeffry De Aza: 1-2, 2 RBI
• RF Kenneth Bautista: 1-4, 3B, 2 RBI, 2 K

• SS Miguel Patino: 0-3, 2 K, E
• P Joel Huertas: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 8 K
• P Max Wotell: 1.1 IP, 0 H, 3 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K

I like Dash Winningham, but we have rules around this place.
