Minor League Recap for 8/11
Notes -- Great night in Greenville last night. Horacio Ramirez made his first rehab start, Kyle Davies tossed six nasty innings, and Andy Marte and Scott Thorman both left the yard in the G-Braves 4-0 shutout. Anthony Lerew had another poor outing, but Jake Stevens is rolling again in Rome. Richmond and Danville were both washed out, and with the tropical storm and hurricane moving through the southeast over the next few days, look for more games to be postponed.
Player of the day -- Kyle Davies (Greenville) 6.0 IP, H, 3 BB, 6 SO (W 4-0, 2.80)
Norfolk Tides (NYM) at Richmond Braves -- Scheduled doubleheader has been postponed and will be made up as part of back-to-back doubleheaders on August 25th and 26th.
Record: 62-53, 1 ahead of Durham
Streak: Lost 1
Jacksonville Suns (LA) 0, Greenville Braves 4 -- Box Score
Horacio Ramirez worked two scoreless innings in his first rehab start, allowing one hit and one walk, but it was Kyle Davies who was the star of the show, giving up just one hit over six shutout innings, walking three and fanning six as the Braves blank the Suns 4-0.
3B Andy Marte provided the big stick with is 19th homer of the season on a 2-for-4 night with two RBI. 1B Scott Thorman also went deep for the seventh time in a G-Braves uniform, and RF Jackson Melian added his third, both of the solo variety.
Davies earned the victory with his outstanding performance, moving to 4-0 with a 2.80 ERA. Macay McBride shut the door with a perfect ninth, striking out one in the process.
Additional Stats:
CF Kelly Johnson 0-4, R, 2 K

Kinston Indians 6, Myrtle Beach Pelicans 4 -- Box Score
Anthony Lerew still isn't quite on form as witnessed by last night's performance. Lerew allowed four runs on seven hits, two walks, and five strikeouts in five innings - and also gave up two home runs - as the Pelicans lose to the Indians 6-4.
3B Wes Timmons was 1-for-3 with a double and RBI, and both 1B Isaac Iorg and DH Alonzo Ruelas were 1-for-4, stole a base, and drove in a run in the loss. C Brian McCann was 1-for-4 with a run scored.

Rome Braves 1, Lexington Legends (HOU) 2 -- Box Score
Jake Stevens had yet another strong outing, allowing one unearned run on three hits, no walks, and seven strikeouts in six innings, but it was all for naught since the Rome offense couldn't get anything working in the 2-1 loss to Lexington.
The Braves managed just five hits on the night, with the only run coming off of a Carlos Guzman solo shot in the second inning. It was his 13th homer of the season on a 1-for-2 night, and he also drew a walk, which is always worth a mention for Guzman. CF Matt Esquivel was moved down to the ninth spot in the order to work out of his funk and responded with a 1-for-2 night with a walk and a strikeout. C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, LF Josh Burrus, and SS Diory Hernandez had the remaining three hits.
Stevens wasn't involved in the decision, but did lower his ERA to 2.33 in the process. Devin Anderson took the loss, allowing a run on one hit, a walk, and a strikeout in two innings of relief.

2B Martin Prado 0-4

CF Johan Silva hit his third homer of the season on a 1-for-3, one RBI day, and 3B Maximiliano Ramirez was 1-for-3 with a double and also knocked in a run. 2B Danny Brazeale had the only other Braves hit, going 1-for-2.
Wiggins falls to 0-3 with a 7.01 ERA after the loss. Donavon Hendricks tossed 2 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, allowing one hit and striking out one.
