Minor League Recaps: April 16th, 2013

AAA Toledo Mud Hens (3-10)

L, 4-2 vs. Indianapolis. Consensus top 10 prospect Gerrit Cole shut down Toledo, while Casey Crosby again started strong but unraveled in the 5th inning. Toledo managed 8 hits, but could only scratch across 2 runs.

-LHP Casey Crosby: 5 2/3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 4 BB, 3 K, L. He's now 0-3 with a 7.11 ERA on the season as he makes more and more of a case to be moved to the bullpen.

-LHP Matt Hoffman: 1 1/3 IP, H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, K. Has not given up a run yet in 2013.

-CF Quintin Berry: 2-4, 2B (4), R, BB, SB (6)

-LF Nick Castellanos: 1-4, RBI

-C Bryan Holaday: 1-4, RBI

AA Erie SeaWolves (5-6)

W, 9-6 vs. Bowie. Erie jumped on Kevin Gausman early, scoring 5 runs in the first 2 innings. They needed extra innings to secure the victory, but the 17 hit attack lead by Daniel Fields and James McCann proved to be enough.

-RHP Tyler Stohr: 2/3 IP, H, R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K. Still has not given up an earned run in 2013, while racking up lots of strikeouts out of the bullpen.

-LF Jamie Johnson: 2-5, R, BB

-SS Hernan Perez: 2-6, 2 R, SB (5)

-CF Daniel Fields: 3-6, HR (2), 2 RBI, 2 R, SB (2)

-C James McCann: 4-5, 2B (3), RBI, R

A+ Lakeland Flying Tigers (4-8)

L, 6-5 vs. Brevard County. It took 14 innings, but Lakeland finally fell to Brevard County late Tuesday night. Drew VerHagen was solid in his start, and Will Clinard was outstanding in relief. Dean Green had 4 hits to lead the Lakeland offense, but it wasn't enough.

-RHP Drew VerHagen: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K.

-RHP Will Clinard: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K.

-SS Eugenio Suarez: 2-7, RBI, 2 R

-DH Dean Green: 4-6, RBI

A West Michigan Whitecaps (5-6)

L, 4-0 vs. Lansing. The Whitecaps only managed 3 hits on the day, and just couldn't manage to get anything going offensively. Endrys Briceno was OK in his start, and the bullpen was outstanding, but the lack of offense was troublesome.

-RHP Endrys Briceno: 4 IP, 4 H, 4 R, 3 ER, BB, 2 K, L (0-1)

-RHP Brennan Smith: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K
