Down on the farm April 19: Myers suffers minor injury

Myers fouled a ball off his foot Thursday, but it doesn't seem to be serious at all.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (10-5) ***Featured game of the day***

A three run seventh inning broke a 2-2 tie and gave Durham a 5-2 win over Charlotte Thursday morning. The Knights picked up both of their runs with one out on the first inning when Bryan Anderson singled against Jake Odorizzi, but he was able to settle down quickly. After five batters reached in that inning, he would only allow two more to get on in his final four. He struck out eight and yielded four hits and three walks, throwing 60% of his pitches for strikes. The Bulls struck back with a run of their own in the first on a Wil Myers groundout, after they inexplicably chose to have Hak-Ju Lee bunt Jason Bourgeois to third base. They tied the game in the fourth, and singles by Lee, Myers and a double by Vince Belnome helped drive in three in the seventh. Along with Lee, Tim Beckham and Rich Thompson each had two hits, and Bourgeois had three hits and two steals.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (7-7)

A four run 13th inning by Mobile sunk Montgomery in their 8-4 loss to the BayBears. In that inning, Mobile plated their first run against Neil Schenk with a one out sac fly by Jon Griffin. That was followed by a two out double by minor league veteran Brent Clevlen and a two run single by Garrett Webber to extend the lead to four. That left Enny Romero with nothing to show for a solid start that saw him allow three runs in 5.1 innings while striking out seven and only walking one. After Zach Quate allowed Mobile's fourth run, Braulio Lara, C.J. Riefenhauser and Marquis Fleming each threw two scoreless innings, with Riefenhauser fanning four of the six batters he faced. Montgomery banged out seven extra base hits but was just one for 11 with runners in scoring position. Kevin Kiermaier hit two triples while Mikie Mahtook and Cameron Seitzer each had a pair of doubles.

Class-A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (5-9)

Despite outhitting Jupiter eight to seven, the Stone Crabs couldn't get a hit with a runner in scoring position and fell 5-0 to the Hammerheads. In the second inning, Jupiter collected three runs on four hits against Roberto Gomez, allowing former Florida Gator Anthony DeSclafani to cruise through five scoreless innings, striking out seven. Gomez only lasted four innings, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out four. Jake Partridge relieved him and struck out five while only allowing a run in three innings. Richie Shaffer, Kyeong Kang and Curt Casali each had two hits, all singles.

Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (10-3)

Although he was wild, Blake Snell and the entire Hot Rods staff worked out of trouble in their 6-0 win over Great Lakes. Snell walked four and only struck out three in five innings, but the Loons could only muster two hits against him. Bowling Green walked seven batters total, but they couldn't get a hit with runners in scoring position and left 10 runners on base. The game was tied at zero through five before a two out error allowed Bowling Green to extend their sixth inning. After that, Justin O'Conner and Patrick Leonard hit back to back singles to plate two runs. It was one of five errors on the night for Great Lakes, and only two Bowling Green runs were earned. O'Conner and Ryan Dunn each had two hits, and Ben Kline's double was the only extra base hit in the game.
