MAHONING VALLEY 4, BROOKLYN 1 (Box)

The bats of Brooklyn got a rude awakening early in the season, as the Mahoning Valley Scrappers had the rehabbing Danny Salazar toeing the rubber. It’s not that Danny Salazar is the be-all, end-all, but he’s a bona fide major leaguer with great stuff. Predictably, the Cyclones had difficulty against the rehabbing big league pitcher. Only Jeremy Wolf and Ricardo Cespedes were able to gets hits off of Salazar, while Carl Stajduhar and Walter Rasquin were able to draw walks. The Scrappers, meanwhile, had no such problems against Nicolas Debora, knocking him around for four runs on seven hits over just three innings. Gunnar Kines and Conner O'Neil were able to keep Mahoning Valley in check, but the offense was unable to get much going. The scored a run off of Zach Plesac, nephew of Dan Plesac, in the sixth, but failed to do anything else.

• 2B Walter Rasquin: 1-3, BB, CS (2)
• 1B Matt Winaker: 0-3, BB, K
• RF Jose Miguel Medina: 1-4, R, 2B, 2 K, SB (13)
• LF Quinn Brodey: 1-4, 2B, RBI, 3 K
• 3B Carl Stajduhar: 0-2, BB, K, HBP; Staj was hit in the head by Jonathan Teaney in the ninth, but was able to get up and leave the field on his own power
• PR Reed Gamache: 0-0
• CF Ricardo Cespedes: 1-3, BB, 2 K
• C Carlos Sanchez: 0-4, PB (5); Sanchez has looked bad behind the plate at virtually every aspect of catcher defense in the looks I’ve had
• DH Jeremy Wolf: 1-4, 2 K
• SS Franklin Correa: 0-3, 2 K, E
• RHP Nicolas Debora: 3.0 IP, 7 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, WP, HB, L (0-1)

Rookie - Kingsport Mets (7-10)

NO GAME (SCHEDULE)

Rookie - GCL Mets (5-8)

GCL MARLINS 13, GCL METS 3 (Box)

The GCL Marlins nickel-and-dimed Jaison Vilera for three runs over six innings, but the GCL Mets were able to tie things at 3-3 after scoring a run in the fourth, fifth, and sixth. In the eighth, newly-signed free agent Ryan McAuliffe completely dropped the ball, loading up the bases with walks and allowing a few runs to score. He was replaced by ‘the other’ Luis Mateo, who, not to be outdone, allowed a bunch of hits and runs. In total, McAuliffe and Mateo combined to allow eight runs- six earned- on four hits, four walks, a wild pitch, and a hit batsman, all in 0.2 innings worth of work. Miguel Gutierrez allowed two more runs in the ninth, but at that point, already down 11-3, did two more runs really matter?

• CF Guillermo Granadillo: 0-5, E (1)
• 2B Hansel Moreno: 1-4, R, 3B, BB, K, SB (5), E (1); With a plus arm, smooth hands, and good speed, Moreno has until now been known more as a defense-first player, but he has put on about ten pounds over the last year or so and has been hitting the ball with a lot more authority
• 3B Kenny Hernandez: 1-3, 2B, RBI, 2 E (1, 2), HBP
• 1B Luis Montero: 0-4, 2 K
• DH Mark Vientos: 1-3, 2 R, 2B, K, HBP
• SS Gregory Guerrero: 0-3, K, E (2)
• LF Kenny Bautista: 1-3, RBI, BB, 2 K
• RF Raul Beracierta: 1-4, RBI
• C Luis Lebron: 0-4, 2 K
• RHP Jaison Vilera: 6.0 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, BLK, WP; With a heavy sinker and advanced changeup, Vilera is one of many GCL pitchers to keep an eye on
• RHP Eric Villanueva: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
• RHP Ryan McAuliffe: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, WP, L (0-1)
• RHP Luis Mateo: 0.1 IP, 3 H, 4 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, HB
• LHP Miguel Gutierrez: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, WP, 2 HB
