The #6 prospect for the Orioles threw 67 pitches in three innings with three hits, three walks, and three strikeouts. Not great, but very symmetrical. He was reportedly hitting 96 on the radar gun which is pretty swoon worthy from a lefty. Luis Ysla followed with three innings of relief, giving up two runs. Luis Gonzalez and Josh Lucas each pitched an inning apiece. It was a slow day on offense as the Tides picked up only four hits in the game. Two of those were from Stevie Wilkerson, who is hitting a gaudy .455 on the young season. D.J. Stewart had a nice day at the plate with a double and two walks, and Jaycob Brugman hit his first home run of the year. Ryan Mountcastle and Chance Sisco both went 0-for-2 with a walk. Bowie Baysox 6, Harrisburg Senators (WAS) 2If you�re a Zac Lowther fan, this was a fun game for you! And for me, as I consider myself a Zac Lowther fan. Currently ranked the #8 prospect for the Orioles, Lowther had a great season debut, going five shutout innings with two hits, two walks, and six strikeouts. Both Senators runs came off of Brian Gonzalez, who pitched two innings in relief. Tanner Chleborad finished things off with two scoreless innings in which he picked up four strikeouts. The Baysox had a big third inning in which Rylan Bannon hit a bases-loaded double that gave the team a 3-0 lead. The next batter, #1 prospect Yusniel Diaz, hit his first home run of the season to make it 5-0. Diaz also walked twice. A Preston Palmeiro RBI single in the sixth inning knocked in the sixth run. Frederick Keys 11 Jason Motte Jersey , Winston-Salem Dash (CWS) 10It was a wild one in Frederick! While the Keys were being shutout through the first four innings of the game, starting pitcher Matthias Dietz was having a rough go of it. Dietz gave up six runs in just three innings pitched. He did face four batters in the fourth inning but was pulled without recording an out. He walked four, including three in that disastrous fourth inning. He left with the bases loaded and relief pitcher Luis Perez allowed all three to score. After that, the bullpen settled down and gave the Keys time to come back. Perez and David Lebron combined to pitch five scoreless innings. The Keys picked up a single run in the fifth on a Mason McCoy single but then scored a whopping eight runs in the eighth inning, highlighted by a grand slam from Yeltsin Gudino. Gudino also doubled in the fifth inning and had the Keys only two extra base hits. The Keys turned to Diogenes Almengo in the ninth inning for the three-run save, but he blew it. Four runs later the Dash had taken a 10-9 lead, but the Keys weren�t finished. A single from Kirvin Moesquit and a walk by Gudino set up back-to-back RBI singles from Stuart Levy and McCoy to walk it off.

It is right on top of you, and it moves. It�s tough to make contact, and he barreled it up.�Hicks, who was facing his sixth batter http://www.stlouiscardinalsteamshop.com/authentic-marcell-ozuna-jersey , gave Candelario most of the credit.�I was sharp and I was trying to pound the strike zone,� he said. �He just got good wood on it and the ball left the yard.

I just have to get better.�Candelario�s second career game-ending homer was made more special by the presence of his family.�This is a blast,� he said in a postgame television interview. �To do this, not just in front of the fans, but in front of my family.�Marcell Ozuna homered twice for St. Louis, which has lost four of six. The Cardinals hold a slim lead for the second NL wild-card spot.�I�m trying to be more aggressive,� Ozuna said. �When my shoulder was hurting, I couldn�t stay inside, but now I feel better and I can hit that pitch.�The Tigers won their third in a row.�That�s a lot of fun,� manager Ron Gardenhire said. �Those guys are in a pennant race and we�re not, but we stepped up and got a victory. Those are the moments you enjoy.�Hicks (3-4) retired the first five batters he faced, but rookie Victor Reyes slapped a 102 mph fastball to left with one out in the ninth, and Candelario hit his 18th homer on the next pitch.�Candy is still learning at this level, but he�s a strong young man,� Gardenhire said. �He has some tough at-bats, but he can also do that.�Detroit closer Shane Greene (3-6) worked a scoreless ninth.Tigers starter Daniel Norris allowed three runs on four hits and a walk in five innings. He struck out seven and gave up both of Ozuna�s homers.�I learned not to throw him a fastball over the plate,� he said.Norris was making his second start after missing four months with groin surgery and was starting at home for the first time since April 20.�It was great to be out there in front of our fans, wearing our white jerseys and feeling healthy Brett Cecil Jersey ,� he said. �It�s been a long road back.�Cardinals starter Austin Gomber gave up three runs on six hits and three walks in six-plus innings, striking out six.Ozuna led off the second with a home run, much to the delight of the large contingent of Cardinals fans. The Tigers made it 1-all in the bottom of the inning on Dawel Lugo�s RBI groundout.Ozuna connected for his 20th homer to begin the fourth. He also hit two home runs against Washington on Tuesday.The Cardinals took a 3-1 lead in the fifth when Kolten Wong doubled, took third when Norris balked and scored on Francisco Pena�s sacrifice fly.Gomber retired the first two batters in the bottom half, but Reyes beat out a bunt single and the Tigers loaded the bases on Candelario�s base hit and Goodrum�s walk.

Since then, playing more regularly, he is batting .261 in 60 games and hit his first career homer last week in New York.�Once I gave him a chance, he�s worked hard to become a major league player, and we expect him to stay here next year,� Gardenhire said.THROWBACK WEEKENDThe Tigers are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their 1968 World Series win over the Cardinals during the weekend series.
