Rays prospects and minor leagues: Ott yawns through another outing

After an eight-day absence, Adrian Rondon was back on the field for Princeton, and he played the entire game.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (55-72)

Curt Casali's walkoff single gave Durham a 11-inning, 3-2 win over Norfolk. With one out and runners on the corners, Casali's single to center scored Jaff Decker. Just two innings later, the Bulls were down to their last out when Taylor Motter sent the game to extras with a game-tying single. Earlier in the game, Richie Shaffer hit his 10th home run. Jaime Schultz struck out six and walked six in three innings, and four relievers combined to toss eight scoreless frames.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (29-24)

Brent Honeywell went pitch-for-pitch with former No. 4 pick Kohl Stewart, but Montgomery fell short in a 2-1 loss to Chattanooga. Jake Bauers scored on a Granden Goetzman groundout in the second inning, but that would be it for the Biscuits. Meanwhile, Honeywell dominated the Lookouts through six scoreless innings, striking out five, walking none and yielding just four hits. Chattanooga took the lead with two outs in the eighth against Kyle Winkler.

Class-A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (28-24)

Charlotte was postponed.

Class-A Bowling Green Hot Rods (34-19)

Kevin Padlo ended a home run drought in Bowling Green's 5-2 win over Great Lakes. The Loons actually went up 1-0 early, but David Rodriguez singled to tie the game in the fifth, and the go-ahead run scored on a double play. Rodriguez gave the Hot Rods the lead again with an RBI single in the seventh, and Kevin Padlo's two-run dinger an inning later, his first home run since July 30, added insurance. Jose Mujica threw seven strong innings, allowing two runs on four hits and no walks with five strikeouts.

Short-Season Hudson Valley Renegades (35-22)

After allowing a first-inning run, Travis Ott dominated his old club in Hudson Valley's 2-1 win over Auburn. It took just three batters for the Doubledays to take a lead, but the Renegades evened it up in their half of the inning. Ott cruised from there, allowing just the run on three hits and a walk in six innings with five strikeouts. Both runs were conceded by Auburn on groundouts.

Rookie Princeton Rays (28-24)

Princeton trailed 4-0 after just one half inning, but it battled back for an 11-6 win over Kingsport. Starter Edrick Agosto would be charged with all six runs -- four earned -- in 3 1/3 innings, and neither Orlando Romero nor Reign Letkeman out of the bullpen were charged with runs. Princeton scored one in the first and three in the second, and Emilio Gustave's two-run homer in the third gave it its first lead. After Kingsport went ahead again in the fourth, Princeton sent nine to the plate in the bottom half of the inning and scored five times. Adrian Rondon returned to the lineup and had a hit and a walk.

Rookie Gulf Coast League Rays (23-26)

Jesus Sanchez and Jose Tonton homered in the GCL Rays' 16-5 drubbing of the GCL Orioles. Tonton's two-run shot capped a four-run second inning before the GCL Orioles answered with three of their own. However, a two-run double by Juan Carlos Arias helped power another four-run frame for the GCL Rays in the third. Aside from that three-run second, Jhonleider Salinas -- acquired in last month's Brandon Guyer trade -- pitched well in his first win in his new organization, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk in five innings.
