First Place Phillies Drop Game with Braves; August 20, 2014

Game Reports, , ,

The GCL Phillies entered their game with the GCL Braves tied with the Yankees for first place in the GCL Northwest Division.  They dropped a 4-0 decision to fall a game back with a 31-21 record and 7 games remaining in the season.

Denton Keys scattered 8 hits and a walk through 6 innings.  One of the two runs he allowed was unearned, set up by an errant pick off attempt in the third inning.  He allowed an earned run in the fourth on a bunt single, hit-and-run single, and a sacrifice fly.  Although he allowed 9 base runners, Keys benefited from double plays in the first and second innings, and a caught stealing in the fourth inning.  Continue reading First Place Phillies Drop Game with Braves; August 20, 2014 →

Box Score Recap – 8/20/2014

Box Score Recap

Lehigh Valley was stymied by Pawtucket pitching, managing just three hits and four walks. MAG threw two scoreless innings of relief, allowing a walk and striking out one. Kelly Dugan was 2-3 with two doubles plus two walks for Reading as Severino Gonzalez shutout Bowie for six innings and the bullpen completed the job. Gonzalez was throwing strikes, about 2/3 on the night, and he’s allowed 2R, 8H, 4BB and 13Ks in 13IP over two starts since being skipped at the beginning of the month to keep his innings down as he finishes out his first full season as a starter. Seems like the rest did him some good.

Roman Quinn was a triple short of the cycle, including his sixth home run of the year. Art Charles hit his second in as many nights (16), and Mark Leiter was strong over seven innings – he struck out seven after striking out 10 in 6.2 last time out. He’s walked just 35 men in 135 IP this year over two levels. I imagine he’ll start the spring fighting for a spot in Reading’s rotation. Jia Tromp hit his 13th home run, tying a Williamsport franchise record, shared by Zach Green from 2013. And I imagine the off-season can’t come soon enough for Chris Oliver. Another pretty good performance from Denton Keys – 2R 1ER 8H 1BB 6K in 6IP – he’s had four pretty good ones in a row. His offense did just about nothing to support him.
