Dunedin Blue Jays @ St. Lucie Mets (Loss 0-2)

One bad inning did in the D-Jays Wednesday. in the 4th inning the Mets were able to scrap together 2 runs off of Conner Green. Green pitched a solid 5 innings other then the issues is the 4th. He stuck out 5 and walked 2 over the 5 innings of work. Brad Allen came on and pitched a dominant 3 innings to keep the D-Jays in the game. He struck out 4 in 3 innings and did not allow a base runner.

Offensively the D-Jays could not get anything going. Matt Dean being one of the few exceptions as he hit 2 doubles but was not able to get around to score. The 4 hits were just not enough to get the machine moving. The Mets pitchers puzzled the D-Jays all game.

Line of the game

Brad Allen 3 IP, 0 hits, 0 runs, 0 walks, 4 K’s

Lansing Lugnuts vs South Bend Cubs (Win 6-4)

More from Toronto Blue Jays Prospects

Pitching for both sides had issues in this game. Jesus Tinoco worked hard through 6 innings and was able to grind out a quality start. He did allow all 4 runs to the Cubs on 8 hits but was able to strike out 4. Dusty Isaacs gets the win as he pitched the remaining 3 innings and and shut down the Cubs for the remainder.

On offense the Lugnuts strung enough consistency together that they were able to slowly take the win from the Cubs. A couple 2 run innings mixed in with a pair of 1 run innings proved to be enough. Both teams collected 11 hits in the game but the runs piled up in favor of the Lugnut attack. Josh Almonte stole a pair of bases and scored twice. Michael De La Cruz also stole a base and collected 2 hits with an RBI. A well balanced offense won this game for the Lugnuts

Line of the game

Josh Almonte 1-3 with 2 runs scored, a double, and 2 stolen bases

It was a mixed bag for Canadians pitching against the Aqua Sox. Francisco Rios got things started and allowed 1 run through 3 innings of work. Josh DeGraaf came on and got hit hard for 2 more runs in his 1 innings of work. DeGraaf allowed 3 hits and walked 2 in that innings. Brandon Hinkle allowed only 1 hit in 3 innings of work and would eventually be awarded the win. Andrew Case then shut the door and picked up his 5 save on the season.

The C’s got things off to a hot start as the piled on 3 runs in the first inning. The offense would not keep that pace though. The C’s mounted a comeback late and were able to score a run in each of the last 2 innings that would be good for the win. Justin Atkinson collected 2 doubles and was 2-4 for the game with an RBI. Andrew Guillotte collected 3 hits out of the lead off spot and kept the offense going.
