Astros Minor League Report - Games of August 18
AAA: Round Rock 3, Nashville 1 - 1.5 GB
Carlos Hernandez pitched seven shutout innings as the Express defeated the Sounds in Nashville. Carlos' ERA is still a shiny 5.67 on the season, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. Barry Wesson homered for the Express, and Charles Gipson made Robin Roberts proud with a pair of doubles and an RBI.
AA: Wichita 10, Corpus Christi 3 - 2.0 GB
Hooks' pitchers suffered a rare terrible evening as the Wranglers crushed Corpus. Mike Rodriguez had three hits for the Hooks, and Charlton Jimerson added two hits (including his 15th HR) and struck out once. Dax Norris homered for the second straight game.
High A: Salem 4, Kinston 2 - 1.5 game lead
Matt Albers continued his impressive climb back to prospectdom with seven great innings and ten strikeouts, and the Avalanche ralled for a pair of runs in the ninth to defeat Kinston. Jonny Ash had two hits, two walks and drove in the go-ahead runs in the ninth.
Low A: Lexington 8, Greensboro 2 - 5 GB
Despite another HR from Brian McCann, the Legends routed Greensboro. Three Legends pitchers combined to scatter six hits. Edwin Maysonet had a three-hit game, and Louis Santangelo, Mitch Einertson and Drew Sutton had two hits apiece.
Short Season A: Lowell 8, Tri-City 3 - 5.5 GB
Little to report from this one other than Matt Cunningham's seventh HR.
Rookie: Pulaski 8, Greenville 7 - 20 GB
Greenville could not hold onto a 7-3 lead and lost late (again). Eli Iorg busted out with a four-hit night, and Jhon Florentino blasted a three-run HR for the Astros.
