Tiger Minor League Wrap – April 12th

Toledo 9, Scranton 5
Brian Peterson went 2 for 4 with a double, as did newcomer Tike Redman. Zach Miner started for the Mud Hens and allowed 4 runs in 4 innings.

Altoona 4, Erie 2
Humberto Sanchez wasn’t quite as sharp as his last start, and wasn’t helped by his own defense. He allowed 4 runs, two of which were earned, in 5 innings of work. He also allowed 7 hits and two walks while K’ing 4. Brent Clevlen was 1 for 3 with a walk and Tony Giarratano doubled in 4 trips.

Lakeland 6, Dunedin 4
Gil Meija was 3 for 3 with a walk, Brent Dlugach was 3 for 4 with a stolen base, and Nick McIntyre went 2 for 3 to power the Lakeland attack. Kevin Whelan retired all 3 hitters, including 2 strike outs to pick up his 3rd save. In 3 appearances he’s retired all 9 batters he’s faced, striking out 6.

West Michigan 7, South Bend 5
Wil Rhymes was 3 for 5 to raise his average to .414. At age 23 in low A ball, he’s not really classified as a prospect, but is still having a nice start to the season. Michael Hollimon reached base 4 times to raise his average to .409. With Rhymes and Hollimon at the top of the order it’s no surprise that Cameron Maybin has 7 RBI, 3 of which he picked up on his first professional homer. Lucas French got the start and only allowed two hits in six innings while striking out 4. The bad news is he also walked 4.
