Greeneville
Johnson City scored four in the 5th, and went on to win 5-2. Ruben Alaniz allowed 8H/5R (4ER), 2K:1BB. Garrett Bullock gave up two hits, 3K:2BB in 3.1IP of relief, and Jamaine Cotton threw a scoreless 9th. It was his first scoreless outing since July 6 (five appearances). Telvin Nash hit his 9th homer - a two-run shot - in the 4th, providing all the runs, while Merritt, Wallace, Nidiffer, and Chris Lovett provided the other hits.
Man of the Match: Telvin Nash
GCL Astros
Hard to believe this game was scoreless going into the 6th. The GCL Marlins whoop up on the GCL Astros 13-2. Jose Perdomo threw 6IP, 4H/4R (2ER), 5K:3BB. Raul Rivera and Juan Mojica each gave up 3ER, while Rafael Feliz allowed three unearned runs in 0.1IP. The GCL Astros committed six errors: Ditthardt, two from Fernandez, Genoves, and two from Chan-Jong Moon. Jose Monzon and Enrique Fernandez had two hits each, while Ryan Ditthardt and Jose Vargas provided the two other hits. Chan-Jong Moon, playing at 3rd, did draw two walks.
Man of the Match: Ugh. Jose Perdomo?
DSL Astros
The DSL Astros didn't get a hit until Jose Solano singled with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, and the DSL Dodgers obviously win 5-0. Enderson Franco threw 5IP, 4H/2ER, 1K:0BB, while Cristian Hirland allowed 8H/3ER, 2K:0BB in 3IP. Edgar Ferreira threw a scoreless 9th, though allowing two walks and a wild pitch. There was clearly not much going on offensively, with Solano's 9th inning single. But Yonathan Mejia drew a walk, and Luis De La Rosa drew two walks.
Man of the Match: Enderson Franco, I suppose.

Astros sign five international players
So the Astros signed five international players as Wade/Heck try to rebuild the farm system:
16-year old RHP Alexander Martinez, from Nicaragua
17-year old LHP Kilby Pena, from Dominican Republic)
17-year old RHP Enderson Franco from Venezuela
16-year old IF Luca Martone from Italy
16-year old IF Jonathan Mejia, from Dominican Republic
Wade:
“It adds depth to the system. The work we’re doing on the international front is a critical component of our effort to put together a strong, deep and productive player development system.”
Incidentally, the addition of the team in the GCL and the to-be-completed Dominican Academy will help. Wade:
“The more advanced high school kids, like (first-round draftee) Jiovanni Mier, have a suitable landing spot with our Greenville club. We talk about the uncertainty of the draft and U.S. kids. I think to a large extent it’s a real crapshoot with kids and how you try to project body types and with proper nutrition how they’ll change.
“It’s really a long-range projection. These kids will get some time under their belt in the Dominican summer league, and this time next year, when the new complex is open, we’ll create a greater structure for them to move over here and become productive.”
