Reds Minor League Baseball Blog

The Mudcats finished up playing against the Reds former affiliate and the end result was a 3-1 loss.  Todd Frazier singled and drove in a run while Chris Heisey drew a walk and scored the lone run.

Derrik Lutz took the loss and he fell to 0-2.  He gave up two runs on two hits and two walks in 2/3 of an innings.

You don’t see this every day.  The Mudcats were outhit 11-7 but on the scoreboard, it was a blowout the other way with a final score of 12-3.  The Mudcats capitalized on four errors that led to seven unearned runs and they drew six walks.  Juan Francisco had just one hit but it was a three run blast while Logan Parker tripled and drove in three runs.  Sean Henry also had a productive game and he went one for four with a homerun, two runs and two RBIs.

Dallas Buck threw a nice game and he improved to 2-0.  He gave up one run on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

Not too many teams can survive a nine run inning and that’s what the Mudcats gave up in the second inning yesterday.  Most of those came off of Misael DeJesus, who was credited with eight of those runs on five hits and three walks in just 1 1/3 innings.  The loss dropped him to 1-1 on the season.

Sean Henry was one of the hitting stars.  He went two for four with a double, two RBIs and a run.  Jose Castro was two for two with a run.

The Mudcats dropped their third straight and they fell to 4-5 on he season with a rough day at the plate in a 4-0 loss to Mobile.  They picked up just four hits, all of which were singles.  There were no hitting stars in this one folks.

James Avery took the loss and he fell to 0-1 on the season.  He gave up four runs, but just one was earned, on five hits and a walk with seven strikeouts in six innings.  Ruben Medina threw two shutout innings and he struck out two to close out the game.

Zero runs and just five hits does not a win make.  All five of the Mudcats hits were singles and only one hitter, leadoff hitter Sean Henry, had a multi-hit game with two safeties in the 2-0 loss.

A decent start by Travis Wood went to waste.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on five hits and a walk with three strikeouts.
