Astros Minor League Report - Games of August 15
AAA: Oklahoma 9, Round Rock 5
The Express fell 1.5 games behind the RedHawks with the loss. Oklahoma jumped out to an 8-0 lead and held on late. Roberto Giron reminded fans why he's 29 and still in AAA, allowing 8 runs in 1 1/3 inning of work. Scott MacRae held the 'Hawks at bay with 5 2/3 scoreless innings, and Todd Self did all that he could do with his bat, providing four hits, including a two-run homer in the eighth, but the early hole was too much to overcome. Mike Coolbaugh hit his team-leading 26th home run for Round Rock.
AA: Tulsa 5, Corpus Christi 4
After such great play of late, it is awkward to see the Hooks on the wrong side of a score. Defense was the killer, with the Drillers getting three unearned runs off of Phillip Barzilla thanks to an error by 2B Eric Riggs. Riggs and 1B J.R. Phillips each homered for the Hooks, and Phillips totaled three hits on the night. Charlton Jimerson was 0-4 with one strikeout. Barzilla deserved better, throwing five innings and allowing only two earned runs and three hits while striking out nine against four walks.
High A: Kinston 8, Salem 4
Josh Muecke was roughed up (relatively), allowing four earned runs in five-plus innings. Jonny Ash had three hits in a triumphant return to the starting lineup after a beaning last week, and Ben Zobrist had two more hits for the Avalanche.
Low A: Greensboro 4, Lexington 2
The Grasshoppers rallied for four runs in the eighth to knock the Legends. Frankie Caraballo belted his 23rd HR for the Legends, and SS Edwin Mayonset had four hits including a homer. The bullpen spoiled an outstanding start for Chad Reineke, who allowed only two hits in six scoreless innings while striking out ten.
Short Season A: Tri-City 5, Vermont 1
Great night for starting pitcher Ryan McKeller, a 22 year-old RHP who was the Astros 38th round pick in the 2001 draft. McKeller allowed only a single hit while striking out ten in seven innings for the Valley Cats, and Brian Bogusevic rebounded from his last outing, which was horrendous, with two scoreless frames to earn the save. Eight of the nine starters registered a hit for Tri-City.
Rookie: Greenville was idle.
