After one great day with only one game, the schedule was a little more robust on Wednesday.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (47-43)
The International League All-Stars earned a 4-3 win over the Pacific Coast League All-Stars. Jhan Marinez allowed a solo home run in his inning of work.
Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (9-9)
Jacob Faria walked a career-high five batters, but he was still effective in Montgomery's 4-1 win over Tennessee. He was able to work out of trouble he was in, striking out eight and only allowing two hits in six scoreless innings. Tommy Coyle's two-run homer in the third started the scoring, and Cameron Seitzer and Justin O'Conner added RBI hits later in the inning.
Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (7-13)
Taylor Guerrieri was challenged in his latest start, a 6-4 loss to Tampa. He retired the first two batters he faced before walking Carlos Beltran, who later scored the first run of the game. He had trouble finding the strike zone and finished with three runs -- two earned -- allowed on five hits and four walks in 3 2/3 innings with no strikeouts. Marty Gantt's home run in the fifth opened the scoring for the Stone Crabs, but their three-run rally in the ninth fell short.
Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (11-9)
Greg Harris shut down his old organization in Bowling Green's 6-2 win over Great Lakes. He did not allow a hit until the fourth inning, and that was the only hit he allowed in his no-run, five-inning appearance with six strikeouts. The Hot Rods jumped out to a 5-0 lead through five innings, and Justin Williams' seventh home run later added insurance.
Short-Season Hudson Valley Renegades (12-12)
Hudson Valley was unable to muster much offense in its 5-1 loss to Aberdeen. Already down 3-0 in the fifth, Taylor Hawkins' two-out single got the Renegades on the board. Striking out 15 times proved to be problematic for the Hudson Valley bats, and Greg Maisto allowed three runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Rookie Princeton Rays (12-8)
Garrett Fulenchek picked up his first win in the organization in Princeton's 8-3 win over Kingsport. After Blake Bivens allowed two runs in four innings, Fulenchek, acquired from Atlanta for international bonus money, tossed a scoreless inning of relief. Brett Sullivan hit his first professional home run in the fourth to give Princeton a 3-2 lead in the fourth, and Angel Perez's first home run in the U.S. added insurance later. Kewby Meyer also went deep.
Rookie Gulf Coast League Rays (4-16)
The GCL Rays were postponed.
