Things are about to ramp up for Eddie's Farm, meaning these are about to get longer. Yippee.
Round Rock
Off.
Corpus (29-28)
Despite getting eight hits, the Hooks were shutout 3-0 at Midland. Tyler Lumsden continued his renaissance by going 6IP, 4H/3R (1ER), 3K:5BB. Nelson Payano and Brian Wabick threw 2IP, 2H/0ER. The Hooks GIDPd four times, so that hurts, and were 1x7 w/RISP. Jack Shuck was 3x4, and Lou Santangelo was 2x3 for the multi-hit games.
Man of the Match: Shuck.
Lancaster (18-41)
Brandon Barnes hit for the cycle (a day after Freddy Parejo hit for the cycle) in a 7-4 win over Visalia. Shane Wolf threw 6IP, 8H/4R (3ER), 5K:1BB, and Mike Modica tossed three perfect innings for his first save of the season. Barnes' ABs: Homer (1st inning), strikeout (3rd), triple (5th inning), double (7th inning), single (8th inning). So Barnes was 4x5 with 3RBI, and Albert Cartwright was 2x4 with 3RBI. Freddy Parejo was 2x4, and has four straight multi-hit games to give him a .357/.386/.595 line over his last ten games.
Man of the Match: Barnes
Lexington (30-30)
Off.
DSL Astros (2-7)
The DSL Astros lost a 2-0 lead for a 4-0 loss to the DSL Rays. Jose Montero threw 4IP, 1H/0ER, 5K:3BB while bullpen of Leonardo Alayon and Francisco Baso gave up 4ER in 5IP. Carlos Alcantara was 2x3 with a double, while Yonathan Mejia had the lone RBI.
Man of the Match: Jose Montero.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.

Astros remain aggressive on the international market
That Dominican facility is really starting to pay off as Ben Badler reports the Astros have signed two "top Dominican arms:" 16-year old RHP Michael Feliz ($400,000) and 17-year old RHP Jose Montero ($350,000).
Baseball America's Ben Badler, on Feliz:
Feliz had originally agreed to terms with the A's for $800,000 in March, but Oakland voided his contract when Feliz tested positive for the anabolic steroid Stanozolol and received a 50-game suspension from Major League Baseball. According to scouts who have followed Feliz this year, Feliz was regularly hitting 92-93 mph with his fastball before his positive drug test, but in more recent months has been topping out at 91 mph. Beyond pure arm strength, Feliz, who is from Azua, also has a projectable 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame with feel for a curveball and a changeup.
On Montero:
Montero is another power arm with a projectable frame. The 6-foot-4 righthander from San Pedro de Macoris can pitch at 89-92 mph and has touched 93 for some scouts. Montero throws a slider and an occasional changeup, though his secondary stuff and feel for pitching isn't as refined as Feliz. Latin American sources have said the Yankees and Padres were among the other teams courting Montero.
