After posting a winning record last week, the Astros’ AAA Fresno Grizzlies went just 1-5 this week. Pitching was the main culprit, as the team gave up eight or more runs in all five losses. The strong crop of position players took a hit as well, with Teoscar Hernandez and Tony Kemp going to the majors.
Stung by the Bees
After splitting the first two games of a four-game home series against the Salt Lake Bees, the Grizzlies fell 12-9 on April 24. Starter Keegan Yuhl coughed up nine runs (eight earned) in four innings.
