Pawtucket L 5-6
Mookie Betts: 3-5, 2 2B
Alex Hassan: 1-5, K
Bryce Brentz: 2-4, HR, K
Travis Shaw: 0-4, K
Garin Cecchini: 1-4, HR, 2 K
Deven Marrero: 0-4, K
Heath Hembree: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 1 K
Cecchini's season as a whole is still a mess, but he's hitting .302/.351/.491 in August. A sign that the old Cecchini is returning, or just a glimpse of the Ghost of Cecchini Past?
Portland W 7-1
Michael Almanzar: 1-5, 2B, K
Man, Portland used to be the most interesting team in the entire system. Now we're down to this.
Salem W 9-1
Carlos Asuaje: 1-5, 2B
Manuel Margot: 3-4, HR, CS
Salem, on the other hand, has only gotten better. Four of Margot's twelve homers on the season have now come in August. Margot's season has had its ups and downs, but on the whole he's living up to the hype at all of 19 years of age.
Greenville L 2-3
Cole Sturgeon: 0-4, K
Tzu-Wei Lin: 1-4, 2 K
Sam Travis: 0-4, 3 K
Teddy Stankiewicz: 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 0 BB, 6 K
Teddy Stankiewicz is an (unfortunately) rare sight in the lower levels of Boston's farm system: a pitcher who doesn't walk everyone and their grandmother. He's allowed eight free passes over 58 innings in his last ten games.
Lowell W 9-1
Danny Mars: 0-4, BB, 2 K
