Red Sox Minor Lines: Mike Shawaryn is dominating

Pawtucket PPD

Portland G1 W 5-0

Brock Holt: 1-3

Rafael Devers: 1-3, 1 HR, 1 R, 4 RBI

Nick Longhi: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 K

Tzu-Wei Lin: 2-3, 1 SB

Jalen Beeks: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 8 K

Ty Buttrey: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K

Portland G2 L 0-2

Danny Mars: 1-3, 2 K, 1 CS

Josh Tobias: 0-3, 1 K

Rafael Devers: 0-2, 1 BB, 1 K

Nick Longhi: 0-2, 1 BB

Tzu-Wei Lin: 1-3

Jamie Callahan: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Devers didn’t do a lot of damage in this double-header, but when he did make contact it went a long way, and it just so happened to come with the bases loaded. Meanwhile, Holt started his rehab, and with the Red Sox’ trouble at third base, hopefully it won’t be a long assignment. The best part of this day, though, was Beeks, who has been dominating Double-A this year. The jury is still out on whether or not he can stick in the rotation, but the talent is clearly there.

Salem G1 W 8-6

Tate Matheny: 0-2, 2 BB, 2 R, 2 K

Michael Chavis: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K

Josh Ockimey: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 K

Austin Rei: 0-4, 2 K

Salem G2 W 3-2

Tate Matheny: 0-3

Michael Chavis: 2-2, 1 HR, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB

Josh Ockimey: 1-3, 1 K

Kyri Washington: 0-3, 1 K

Roniel Raudes: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 4 BB, 2 K

Austin Glorius: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Despite the five shutout innings, it was a bit of a step back for Raudes after his last spectacular outing. The four walks certainly stand out, since he’s a pitcher who relies on his command more than the stuff. It’s been a mildly disappointing year for the righty, but it’s important to remember he is just 19 years old. Meanwhile, Chavis hit another home run and continues to have his best season as a pro.

Greenville W 3-2 (F/12)

Santiago Espinal: 0-6, 1 K, 1 E

Tyler Hill: 0-5, 1 BB, 1 R, 2 K

Bobby Dalbec: 2-6, 1 HR, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K, 1 E

Yoan Aybar: 1-5, 1 R, 1 K

Lorenzo Cedrola: 2-5, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K

Mike Shawaryn: 6 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 12 K

Stephen Nogosek: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K

Shawaryn has been phenomenal since getting lit up in his first start of the season, but this outing was his masterpiece. Easily a career-high in strikeouts, Shawaryn was able to do this in just 86 pitches. Over his last five starts, he’s pitched to a 1.32 ERA with 42 strikeouts and 6 walks in 27 ¹⁄₃ innings. Expect last year’s fifth round pick to end the year in Salem if he keeps this up.
