Daily Farm Report: Randal Grichuk Homers For Memphis

Hello everyone. Apologies for getting the DFR for last night's games up after today's games have been played, but unfortunately life got in the way today.

Enjoy.

Triple A: Memphis 8 - Round Rock 3

• Randal Grichuk (LF): 2-5, R, HR, 2 RBI
  
• Luke Voit (1B): 2-5, R, RBI, K
• Harrison Bader (CF): 2-5, R, 2B, K
• Carson Kelly (C): 1-5, R, 2 RBI, K
  
• Nick Martini (RF): 4-5, 2 R, HR, RBI, K
• Mike Mayers (SP): 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K
  

Randal Grichuk's game last night got his AAA wRC+ up over 100 for the season, and his K% under 30...Nick Martini continues to rake for the Redbirds, he's having his best season since high A ball in 2014. He's 26 and most likely an organizational soldier, but he's done a great job plugging a hole for Memphis as the big club raids their outfield...Mike Mayers K% has spiked over his last 5 games, he's struck out 36, walked 7, and allowed 3 runs over his last 36 IP.

Double A: Tulsa 4 - Springfield 2

• Magneuris Sierra (LF): 0-4, K
• Oscar Mercado (CF): 0-4, 2 K
  
• Jose Adolis Garcia (RF) 2-4, CS
  
• Andrew Knizner (C): 2-4, 2B, RBI, K
  
• Sandy Alcantara (SP): 6 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 BB, 6 K, 1 HR
  

Andrew Knizner hit his 3rd double in 6 Texas League games. He's also struck out 7 times and walked once...Sandy Alcantara still isn't striking out batters at a rate you'd like to see, but it looked like he starting to limit his walks, however he's walked 8 batters in 12 IP over his last two starts.

Class A Advanced: Palm Beach 4 - Charlotte 3

• Randy Arozarena (DH): 2-4, 2 R, 2B, 3B, K
• Tommy Edman (SS): 2-4, R, RBI
  
• Andy Young (2B): 1-4, R, HR, 2 RBI
  
• Chris Chinea (1B): 1-4
• Blake Drake (CF): 1-4, RBI, K
  
• Austin Wilson (RF): 0-4, 2 K
  
• Jeremy Martinez (C): 0-3
  
• Connor Jones (SP): 6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K, 1 HR
  

Andy Young hit his first Florida State League homer. There's still room on the bandwagon, guys...Randy Arozarena hasn't walked in over a week, but he's got his K% under 20, and his ISO over .200 in a park and league that are brutal on power...The lack of strikeouts for Connor Jones isn't a surprise, the walks have been though. He's inducing grounders at a pretty incredible rate though. His GB% is up over 70 for his pro career, so the walks are a surprise from a guy who can attack the bottom of the zone with his splitter.

Class A Short-Season: State College 5 - Williamsport 3

International free agent Edwin Figuera (SS) was the hitting star for the Spikes going 3-4 with a pair of doubles...Fellow international free agent Josh Lopez (C) went 2-4 with a pair of runs. He's been climbing the lowest rungs of the ladder the last few seasons, and after hitting .305/.388/.468 in Johnson City last year is getting a crack at the NY-Penn League.

Dominican Summer League: DSL Cardinals 4 - DSL Nationals 3
