White Sox Minor Keys: June 11, 2022

It may not happen that often given the records of at least half of the teams involved, so let’s take a second on this Sunday morning to note that all six White Sox minor-league affiliates won their games on Saturday night.

Also, Seby Zavala is on his way up from Charlotte to replace Yasmani Grandal, but I’ll hold off on a longer post until seeing what kind of absence we’re dealing with.

Charlotte 3, Louisville 1

  • Adam Haseley went 2-for-4 with a double.
  • Yolbert Sánchez also went 2-for-4, with a stolen base.
  • Romy González was 0-for-3 with a strikeout.

Notes:

*González was one of six players ejected in a bench-clearing incident after Mark Payton was knocked down with a high-and-tight pitch.

*Which made Yermín Mercedes’ game-tying blast in the ninth, followed by Blake Rutherford’s go-ahead two-run double, extra satisfying.

Birmingham 5, Pensacola 1

  • Lenyn Sosa went 0-for-3 with two walks and a strikeout.
  • Yoelqui Céspedes was 1-for-4 with a triple and two strikeouts.

Notes:

*The Barons scored all thir runs in the eighth inning.

Winston-Salem 7, Greensboro 3

  • Oscar Colás went 2-for-5 with his fifth homer.
  • Bryan Ramos was 0-for-5 with a strikeout.
  • Luis Mieses, 1-for-3 with a walk.
  • Adam Hackenberg was 0-for-2 with a double and a strikeout.

Notes:

*The Dash erased a 3-0 deficit starting in the fifth inning, so comebacks abound.

*Here’s Colas’ homer:

Kannapolis 2, Down East 1

  • Wes Kath went 1-for-4 with a double and a strikeout.
  • Colson Montgomery was 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and an HBP.
  • DJ Gladney, 0-for-4 with two strikeouts.
  • James Beard singled, struck out, got plunked and stole two bases.
  • Jared Kelley: 3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 35 of 57 pitches for strikes.

Highlights:

*Kelley’s six strike threes:

ACL White Sox 5, ACL Dodgers 4 (7 innings)

  • Cam Butler went 1-for-4.
  • Luis Pineda, 1-for-4 with a homer.
  • Dario Borrero singled all three trips.
  • Alvaro Aguero was 1-for-2 with a walk.
  • Emerson Talavera: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K
  • Carlos Hinestroza: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
  • Erick Bello: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K

Notes:

*The ACL Sox erased early deficits of 3-0 and 4-1.

DSL White Sox 8, DSL BAL Orange 0 (7 innings)

  • Erick Hernandez went 2-for-3 with two walks and a stolen base.
  • Ryan Burrowes singled twice, struck out twice and got plunked once.
  • Loidel Chapelli made his debut: 2-for-4 with a double and a walk.
  • Carlos Jimenez made outs all four times up, but two were sac flies.
