Down on the farm: Wyatt Crowell strikes out eight

A lot of swing and miss for the lefty

A recap of Thursday’s minor league action.

Oklahoma City Comets

• The Comets fell to the River Cats, 5-4.

• Esteury Ruiz (LF) drove in two runs and reached base twice. He’s hitting just under .300 with 34 stolen bases with OKC.

• Edgardo Henriquez (RHP) struck out one in a scoreless inning. It seems like he’s fully built up, so just a matter of time before the Dodgers activate him from the injured list.

• Alexis Díaz (RHP) went 1.1 innings. He struck out one and issued a walk. I’m guessing he’ll need a couple more weeks in OKC before the Dodgers consider calling him up.

Tulsa Drillers

• The Drillers won a close one, defeating the RoughRiders, 7-6.

• Kendall Simmons (3B) hit a grand slam for his first home run of the season.

• Noah Miller (SS) recorded two hits, reached with a walk and drove in a team-high three runs.

• Peter Heubeck (RHP) went five innings and allowed only two hits. He issued four walks, which led to four runs.

• Jeisson Cabrera (RHP) struck out the side in a scoreless inning, lowering his ERA on the season to 1.13.

Great Lakes Loons

• It was a quiet day for the offense, as they fell to the TinCaps, 7-1.

• Zyhir Hope (DH) had a two-hit day.

• Mike Sirota (LF) reached twice and drove in a run. His updated OPS with the Loons is 1.083.

• Wyatt Crowell (LHP) struck out eight in five innings, though he allowed four runs.

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes

• The Quakes won their first game of the series, defeating the Giants, 8-5.

• Jaron Elkins (CF) had a three-hit day and drove in two runs.

• Eduardo Quintero (DH) had a hit and three walks. His updated OPS with RC is now 1.028.

• Samuel Munoz (LF) reached base four times and drove in two runs.

• Samuel Sanchez (RHP) allowed five runs in 4.2 innings.
