Red Sox Minor Lines: Another good start for Roniel Raudes

Pawtucket W 6-0

Aneury Tavarez: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 R, 1 K

Bryce Brentz: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 R, 3 RBI, 1 K

Rafael Devers: 2-4, 1 K

Chandler Shepherd: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Ty Buttrey: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K

Jamie Callahan: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K

Robby Scott: 1.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Noe Ramirez: 0.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

All Brentz does is hit extra-base hits, apparently. He was mostly written off heading into the year, with no other team claiming him off waivers when he was available after spring training. He’s making everyone look dumb now, and he’ll get another chance in the majors soon enough. Meanwhile, another multi-hit day for Devers and a hell of a day for Johnny Bullpen.

Portland L 6-9

Danny Mars: 1-3, 2 BB, 1 R

Michael Chavis: 1-5, 1 RBI, 1 K

Josh Tobias: 2-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K

Jake Cosart: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Luis Ysla: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K

I’ve made it pretty clear this year that I’m a big Mars (the player, not the planet) fan, but one of his issues is that he hasn’t been patient enough. If he’s not going to hit for power (and he’s not), he’s going to need to draw some walks if he wants to carve out a role in the majors. He did so on Tuesday, and hopefully that’s a trend that can continue.

Salem W 1-0

Josh Ockimey: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 K

Tate Matheny: 0-3

Roniel Raudes: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4 K

It hasn’t been the smoothest of years for Raudes, who entered the season with plenty of hype but has suffered from health questions and inconsistency on the mound. He’s been much better of late, though, and has a 1.54 ERA over his last four starts. The K/BB aren’t overly impressive, but he’s always been someone who relies more on command than eye-popping peripherals.

Lowell L 1-9

Jared Oliver: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K

GCL Red Sox L 7-10 (F/10)

Cole Brannen: 2-5, 1 R, 1 SB

Oddanier Mosqueda: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 3 K
