Diego Cartaya and Jason Martin homered, Michael Grove got in the groove, Tulsa had a heartbreaking loss, and Rancho Cucamonga keeps piling up the runs. There was a lot of great action last night down on the farm and we’ve got it covered.

AAA OKC Dodgers

OKC scored 2 in the top of the 9th on a Jason Martin home run, then held on and beat the Sugarland Space Cowboys, the AAA affiliates of the Astros, 2-1.

Marshall Kasowski threw another 0 last night which is his 5th in a row and 10th out of his last 11. His ERA is approaching 2.00, & his average against is just .179 for the year. His 4 seam was 89-93, and he threw it all but 1 pitch, the other being a curveball at 69 mph.

Michael Grove had a great outing tonight for OKC and has his average against this month down to .167, his WHIP at 0.81, and his ERA at 3.12. Grove threw his typical slider, 4 seam, & curveball mix, & hit 96 with the 4 seam, 85 on the slider, & 83 on the curve ball.

Here is every pitch of Brusdar Graterol’s 1-2-3 inning in the 7th for OKC. He threw 9 sinkers that sat 99-100, and he threw 3 sliders, the first of which was 93 mph. Explosive Stuff!

Daniel Zamora picked up his 3rd save of the year by blanking the Space Cowboys after OKC has scored 2 in the top of 9 to take the lead. Zamora had a 4 seam/slider combo with the 4 seam sitting 87-88.

AA Tulsa Drillers

The Drillers pounded out 10 hits to take last night’s game into extra innings, only to lose on a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th.

Another good outing for RHP Kyle Hurt who went 3.2 innings, struck out 6, and gave up just 1 run. In his last 2 outings, the SoCal native has struck out 15 in 7.2 innings. His stuff is big and explosive!

High A Great Lakes

The Loons only scored in 2 innings last night and couldn’t muster enough offense in the Michigan State Capitol and lost 6-3 to the Lansing Lugnuts.

Another good outing for Robbie Peto, especially considering all of the external factors he had to fight through that were out of his control. Peto started tonight and went 4.0, struck out 3, and gave up just 1 run. This one took some grit and composure so well done!

Diego Cartaya hit his 21st home run and 5th of this month and he hit it oppo! Cartaya is hitting .269 on the year with an OPS of .945.

Great outing for Ben Casparius who has some of the best stuff on anyone in the org. His stuff is really, really good.  Casparius threw 2.1 scoreless innings and struck out 3 and walked just 1. Well done Ben, keep up the good work!
