Tigers Minor League Baseball Blog

The SeaWolves were held to just four hits and one run as they finished their mediocre season with a 4-1 loss to Akron.  Brandon Douglas accounted for the lone Erie run with a solo homer in the third inning, his first since joining the SeaWolves.  Douglas wraps up a 63 game stint in his first minor league season with four different spots ranging from the Gulf Coast League to Double A.  Douglas was the Tigers eleventh round draft pick in this year’s draft and he finished the season with a solid .323 average over his four stops.

Daniel Christensen fell to 7-10 with the loss.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on eight hits and three walks with four strikeouts in six innings.

You’d think it’d be hard to be find a high note in a game where the pitchers gave up seven runs, but Guillermo Moscoso struck out ten in six innings in his win over Akron.  He did give up four runs (three earned) on five hits and a walk but the ten strikeouts puts him at 122 on the season in just 86 2/3 innings.

Casper Wells hit a two run homer in the 9-7 win.  Pedro Cotto tripled twice and drove in two runs.

Erie beat Connecticut 7-4 and it was Ryan Roberson who led the way at the plate.  He went two for four and one of those hits was a big three run blast that put Erie on the board.  Casper Wells also had a nice game and he went two for five with a homerun, two RBIs and a run. 

Josh Rainwater improved to 10-6 with a solid start.  He gave up three runs on five hits and four walks with a strikeout in 6 2/3 innings.

Casper Wells went yard three times in the SeaWolves 11-2 win over Harrisburg.  He finished with five RBIs and he joined three other hitters who left the park.

Lucas French improved to 6-11 with a nice start.  He gave up one run on seven hits and a walk with eight strikeouts in seven innings.

The SeaWolves scored four runs in the first inning and then held on to beat Reading 4-3.  Guillermo Moscoso had an impressive outing the mound and he won his first start since getting promoted to Erie.  He gave up one unearned run on three hits and a walk with ten strikeouts in six innings.  He now has 82 strikeouts in 58 innings this year and he only has fourteen walks and a .190 batting average against.  Not bad for a guy who didn’t show up many prospect lists last year.

Jeff Frazier went two for four with a double, two RBIs and a run.  William Rhymes was a perfect four for four with a double, a triple and a run.
