The Diamondbacks Minor League affiliates combined for a 2-2 record last night. Visalia won again, which tied their franchise-best win streak with 12 straight games in a row. That tied a mark set in July 2014, with record keeping in minor league games non-existent prior to 2004.
Here are the stars from last night’s games:
3 Stars: Visalia RHP Justin Vernia 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R (1 ER), 2 BB, 4 K, W (1-0)
2 Stars: Jackson 1B Pavin Smith 3 for 5, HR (4), 3 RBI
1 Star: Visalia C Renae Martinez 3 for 3, 2B, BB, RBI, R
0 Stars: Kane County LHP Franklyn Soriano 3+ IP, 4 H, 6 R (4 ER), 4 BB, 3 K, L (2-1)
(AAA) Reno Aces 5, Fresno Grizzlies 9: Jon Duplantier struggled badly in the first inning, allowing 5 straight baserunners to open the game and would have been worse if Tyler Heineman didn’t throw out two runners on the bases.
