Red Sox Minor Lines: Cameron Cannon hits his first dinger

Pawtucket W 5-3

Gorkys Hernández, RF: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI, 2 K

Marco Hernandez, 2B: 3-4, 1 2B, 2 R, 1 E

Chris Owings, 3B: 2-4, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 R, 4 RBI, 1 K, 1 CS

Rusney Castillo, CF: 0-4, 3 K

Bryce Brentz, DH: 1-4, 1 R, 1 K

Ryan Weber: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 5 BB, 2 K (77 pitches)

Brian Johnson: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K (51 pitches)

Travis Lakins: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (24 pitches)

Bobby Poyner: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (18 pitches)

Well, it’s Owings’ world and we’re just living in it. I’ve talked a few times this week about how good the former major leaguer has been since signing a minor-league deal with the organization and he’s just done the damn thing once again. Owings hit his ninth home run in 31 games on Friday, and amazingly it was his sixth consecutive game with a homer. The man cannot be stopped.

Portland W 3-2

Jarren Duran, CF: 1-3, 1 BB, 1 R, 2 K, 1 SB

C.J. Chatham, SS: 0-3, 1 K, 1 E

Bobby Dalbec, 1B: 1-3, 1 HR, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 K

Joey Curletta, DH: 1-3, 1 K, 1 CS

Marcus Wilson, LF: 0-3, 2 K

Tate Matheny, RF: 2-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 K

Matthew Kent: 6 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 K (96 pitches)

Dedgar Jimenez: 2.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 5 K (32 pitches)

Speaking of power, Dalbec has a little bit of that. One of the Red Sox top prospects and the Double-A leader in home runs, he smashed number 20 on Friday. He had actually been going through a bit of a slump in the home run department, with this latest dinger being his first July 4. Not that we were really worried about his power, but it’s still nice to see him go deep.

Salem W 6-5

Garrett Benge, 3B: 0-4, 1 BB, 3 K

Ryan Fitzgerald, SS: 1-4, 1 BB, 2 R, 2 K

Pedro Castellanos, 1B: 2-5, 1 R, 1 RBI

Edgar Corcino, RF: 3-4, 1 HR, 1 R, 4 RBI

Charlie Madden, DH/C: 2-4, 2 K

Zach Schellenger: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K (24 pitches)

This was a thrilling walk-off win for Salem, who got three runs right off the bat in the third before waiting until the eighth to score again. Castellanos eventually won the contest on a single to drive Fitzgerald in for the winning run. It was Corcino who owned the night, though. As we’ve mentioned before, he is a journeyman who has been around the block a few times. He’s mashing for Salem, though, and with this latest big game his OPS is up to .951 on the year.

Greenville L 0-2

Brandon Howlett, 3B: 0-4, 3 K

Triston Casas, 1B: 1-4, 1 K

Devlin Granberg, DH: 0-4, 2 K

Alan Marrero, C: 2-3, 1 K

Alex Scherff: 6 IP, 9 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 4 K (88 pitches)

This was a tough loss for Scherff and the Drive, as they just couldn’t get going on the plate and finished the day with just three singles. That said, despite the quality start it wasn’t exactly an eye-opening outing for Scherff. Specifically, he was just too hittable, which has been his issue pretty much all year. He’s now allowed 112 hits in 95 ¹⁄₃ innings this year and his ERA is at an even 5.00 for the season.

Lowell G1 W 3-2

Stephen Scott, DH: 1-3, 1 BB, 2 K

Nick Decker, RF: 0-2, 1 BB, 1 K

Antoni Flores, SS: 0-3, 1 K

Kervin Suarez, 2B: 2-3, 1 HR, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 K, 1 CS

Yusniel Padron-Artilles: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 4 BB, 5 K (99 pitches)

Lowell G2 W 5-4

Gilberto Jimenez, CF: 1-4, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB

Cameron Cannon, SS: 1-3, 1 HR, 1 BB, 1 R, 2 RBI, 1 K

Jaxx Groshans, C: 0-4, 3 K

Nicholas Northcut, 3B: 0-2, 2 BB, 2 K

Wil Dalton, RF: 2-3, 1 BB, 1 R, 1 RBI

Jonathan Diaz, DH: 2-4, 1 RBI

It was a couple of very close wins for the Spinners on Friday, who swept the doubleheader. The big story here came in the second game when Cannon smashed his first professional home run. It’s been a tough go at the plate in the infielder’s first professional season, but it’s clearly been too small of a sample to really worry. Still, even if we weren’t worried it still feels good to see the production.

GCL W 10-4

Ceddanne Rafaela, 3B: 3-5, 1 R, 1 E

Bramdon Perez, RF: 2-4, 1 BB, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 RBI

Dominic D’Alessandro, 1B: 1-5, 2 K

Matthew Lugo, SS: 2-4, 1 3B, 3 R, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 SB

Oscar Rangel, C: 3-3, 2 2B, 2 R, 4 RBI

Brock Bell: 2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 1 K

DSL 1 L 7-8

Eduardo Lopez, CF: 0-4, 1 BB, 1 R, 1 K

Darel Belen, RF: 1-4, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 2 K

DSL 2 L 4-9

Denny Daza, SS: 2-5, 1 2B, 1 R, 2 K

Bryan Gonzalez, DH: 0-3, 2 BB, 1 R, 1 K, 1 SB

Moises Barajas, LF: 2-4, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K
