Jagger Haynes Pounded In Triple-A Debut As Chihuahuas Clubbed

Left-handed starter Jagger Haynes learned quickly about life in Triple-A environments as he gave up the first five of a seven-run third inning as the El Paso Chihuahuas were throttled by the host Las Vegas Aviators 15-9.

Padres right-handed reliever Jeremiah Estrada made his third rehab appearance and second for the Chihuahuas, pitching a perfect seventh inning, striking out two. He threw 11 pitches, 10 for strikes. Estrada is coming back from right knee inflammation that has sidelined him since June 5.

Haynes, Padres Mission's No. 13 prospect who was making his Triple-A debut after being promoted from Double-A San Antonio, only got one out in the third inning as he surrendered four hits and four walks while striking out four. In fact, the first three Chihuahuas pitchers gave up five runs each, with right-handers Daison Acosta and Logan Gillaspie doing the deed in one inning and 2⅔ innings, respectively.

The Chihuahuas tried to keep pace offensively. Leadoff hitter Bryce Johnson had a pair of doubles among his three hits, driving in two and scoring once. Nick Solak, Marcos Castanon, Mason McCoy, Blake Hunt and Dustin Harris each had two hits as the Chihuahuas outhit the Aviators 17-15. McCoy also drove in a pair and scored twice, while stealing a base and Hunt had a triple.

Las Vegas led 11-2 after four innings and 15-3 after six before the Chihuahuas made a late push to make things look a little more respectable.

Missions Misfire, Get Blanked Again By RoughRiders

Right-handed starter Ian Koenig had a rough start and the offense had just five hits as the host Double-A San Antonio Missions were blanked for the second game in a row, 10-0 by the Frisco RoughRiders. The Missions haven't scored in 20 innings.

Koenig surrendered six runs (five earned) on seven hits and no walks with four strikeouts over five innings. Right-hander Bernard Jose gave up a run in two innings and right-hander Clay Edmondson three runs in two-thirds of an inning, the fifth time in six outings he has allowed a run. Catcher Chris Sargent pitched the final 1⅓ innings and didn't allow a hit. The RoughRiders scored five times in the fifth to take control.

Ryan Jackson had a double leading off the second inning among the Missions' five hits. The Missions did put up a threat in the bottom of the ninth as, with two outs, Albert Fabian and Kai Murphy singled, forcing a pitching change. Wyatt Hoffman struck out to end the game.

Ryan Wideman Provides Spark, Steals 53rd In TinCaps' Triumph

Ryan Wideman had three hits, three RBIs and two stolen bases to pull into a tie for the minor-league lead and Rosman Verdugo drove in the go-ahead run as the host High-A Fort Wayne TinCaps dropped the Lake County Captains 8-3.

Wideman, Padres Mission's No. 4 prospect, stole his ninth and 10 bases since joining the TinCaps, giving him 53 for the season, matching Peyton Graham of the Double-A Erie SeaWolves and moving past Asbel Gonzalez of the High-A Quad Cities River Bandits, who has 52. Justin DeCriscio had two hits (including a double), two RBIs and two runs scored and Luke Cantwell was on base in all four plate appearances with two hits and two walks, driving in one and scoring another. Carlos Rodriguez also scored twice without the benefit of a hit, walking once and reaching on an error.

TinCaps left-handed starter Kash Mayfield, Padres Mission's No. 2 prospect, lasted 2⅔ innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks, striking out three. But those would be the only runs the TinCaps would allow as left-hander Javier Chacon punched out six and yielded two hits over three innings, left-hander Braian Salazar, in his Midwest League-leading 33rd appearance, fanned four in and allowed just one hit in two innings and right-hander Jose Leclerc pitched a scoreless ninth in his minor-league rehab assignment.

Cantwell had an RBI single in the second inning to tie it, then the Captains scored a pair in the top of the third. The TinCaps would tie it in the bottom of the fifth on Wideman's two-run single, then Verdugo put Fort Wayne ahead to stay with an RBI single in the sixth. After Jack Costello made it 5-3 with a run-scoring single in the seventh, the TinCaps put this one out of reach with three runs in the eighth on DeCriscio's two-run double and Wideman's RBI single.

Kruz Schoolcraft, 4-Run Fifth Provide Spark For Storm

Left-handed starter Kruz Schoolcraft turned in a solid start despite a bout of wildness and Jose Verdugo went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBIs as the host Low-A Lake Elsinore Storm toppled the Visalia Rawhide 5-1.

Schoolcraft, Padres Mission's No. 5 prospect, walked five, but allowed just one run on four hits while striking out four. Right-hander Jordan Valenzuela struck out three in 2⅔ innings, allowing just one hit and walking one. Right-hander Yoesmerli Beltre went the final two innings, striking out three and yielding just a hit.

Bradley Frye had a pair of hits and scored twice and Yoiber Ocopio also had two hits with an RBI and a run scored.

The score was 1-1, with the Storm getting a third-inning sacrifice fly from Yimy Tovar, when they broke things open in the fifth. Frye had a leadoff single, Jorge Quintana had a double and Ocopio had his go-ahead RBI single. Following a pitching change, Tovar walked and a wild pitch plated Quintana to put the Storm up 3-1. Verdugo then singled home a pair of runs to make it 5-1.
