Astros Minor League Update - July 26, 2005
I will do my best (for nerds like me) to give a brief daily update on the prior night's minor-league games for the Astros' affiliates:
AAA: Colorado Springs 8, Round Rock 2
- Todd Self went 2-3 to raise his average to .326. Fernando Nieve was rocked for 12 hits, 4 BBs and 7 ER in 6 innings. Round Rock is 53-51, 5 games back of division leader Albuquerque. As an aside, I'm not surprised at all to see that Texas Ex Omar Quintanilla is tearing up AAA for the Rockies (.326/.362/.419 since being acquired from Oakland).
AA: Corpus Christi 7, San Antonio 3
- Charlton Jimenez K'd twice, Dax Norris went 2-4 and Cosmo Kramer buddy Mark Saccomanno hit his 7th HR. The Hooks are 16-16 and trail the 1st place Rock Hounds and Missions by 3 games.
High-A: Salem 2, Wilmington 1
- Chance Douglass pitched 6 strong innings for Salem and the object of my man-crush, Jonny Ash, drove in the game-winning run with a sacrifice fly. Hunter Pence went 0-4 in his Salem debut in CF.
Low-A: Lexington 9, West Virginia 8
- Francisco Caraballo hit his 16th HR in the 6th inning of the Legends' victory.
Class A (Short Season): Jamestown 3, Tri-City 2
- Gaby Sanchez went 2-3 to raise his average to .324, and Tri-City SP Douglas Arguello gave up only 2 runs over 6 innings, but it was not enough for the ValleyCats.
Rookie: Greenville 17, Johnson City 5
- In a game that featured everything you'd expect from a Rookie league game in the duldrums of summer (read: 29 hits and 7 errors), the Astros pounded St. Louis' rookie affiliate. Certainly this helps to mend the scars of last weekend's violent sweep at Busch Stadium. Eli Iorg went 2-3 and drove in 4 runs, and Koby Clemens went 3-5 and scored twice to pace Greenville. Astros' P Corey Bass struck out 4 over 2+ scoreless innings.
