OKC got a come from behind win last night, scoring 3 in the ninth to come out on top 7-6 against
Ryan Rowland-Smith struggled while putting the RedHawks behind early. He went 4.2 IP giving up 9H/6ER with 2K:3BB. Jordan Lyles gave 2 IP of scoreless ball, allowing 2H. Rowland-Smith has struggled tremendously this season after competing for the Astros 5th starter job in spring training. He’s 2-9 with a 6.34 ERA through 98 innings with 82K:39BB and 124 hits allowed while trying to pitch with some nasty blisters this year.
Several RedHawks had nice nights at the plate. 3B-Chris Johnson led the charge, going 3x4 with 2 2B, 1 HR, 2R/3RBI and 1 BB.
Man of the Match: Chris Johnson
Corpus avoided the sweep, beating
Brett Oberholtzer pitched well in his 5th start for CC, going 6 IP with 5H/2ER and 7K:1BB. Daniel Meszaros had a good outing in relief, throwing 2 IP with 2H and 5K. If Oberholtzer was affected by being traded, he hasn’t shown it on the mound. His numbers for CC are nearly identical to his stats in
SS-Jonathan Villar went 3x4 with 3R/1RBI and 2 SB. CF-Brandon Barnes was 3x5 with 2 2B and 1RBI. RF-Adam Bailey went 2x5 with 1 2B and 3RBI. 3B-Brandon Wikoff was 2x4 with 1 2B, 2R/2RBI and 1 SB. As mentioned in last weeks live chat, Wikoff is making a case for consideration as a solid utility prospect. He’s spent meaning full time this year at 2B, 3B, and SS, while hitting .308/.397/.355. He doesn’t show much power, but think Jeff Keppinger if he took walks instead of hitting doubles and you’ve got a good picture of Wikoff.

How surprising is it that OKC is 1st in winning % for all of Eddie's Farm? (.474) Also, Corpus is dead last at .368.
Of course OKC is still last in their division (but could finish 2nd or 3rd if they keep winning).
You have no idea how accurate you are picking Springer.
In the second game, his baserunning was absolutely explosive. The Spinners guessed right and performed a perfect pitch out, and he still beat it out by two steps.
Looks good going back on flyballs too.
Thanks Keith! Sometimes it's tough piecing these recaps together from box scores and play-by-plays. Nothing beats a good eyewitness account like you just gave.
