The Bisons beat the Indianapolis Indians 9-3 on Tuesday, starting a nine-game homestand on the right track.

 

A strong outing for starter Scott Copeland, and big offensive nights for Andy Burns (three-run home run), A.J. Jimenez (2-4 with a home run), Jesus Montero (4-5) and Junior Lake (3-2 with three RBI) led to the Herd's fourth-straight defeat of Indianapolis this season.

 

Burns connected for what may have been the most important hit of the game in the sixth. The Bisons' second baseman broke a tie score, mashing a three-run home run to left against Indians' starter Steven Brault, putting the Herd up 4-1.

 

"It looked like Burns' homer to give us the 4-1 lead kind of helped everybody relax," Bisons' manager Gary Allenson said postgame. "We did a really good job the second half of the game. It was too different games."

 

Tuesday got off to a less-than perfect start for Copeland, as leadoff batter Pedro Florimon took the fourth pitch of the game deep for a solo-home run.

 

"It was really a wakeup call," Copeland said of the quick home run. "It kind of woke me up and got me going."

 

Copeland pitched effectively after Florimon's leadoff shot, retiring 13 in a row at one point. He walked his first two hitters of the game in the sixth, but fanned three in the inning, keeping the game tied at one. Copeland finished with a line of 6.0 innings, three hits, six strikeouts and one earned run, as he wins his first game as a Bison since last Aug. 26.

 

"Before the first two innings, it wasn't very good," Copeland said of his outing. "But after that, I kind of got in a good groove."

 

"Initially he was having a tough time getting the ball down," Allenson said of Copeland. "He gave up the solo-homer leading off the game there. He got away with repeating his fastball and didn't get hurt by it. He settled down and did a pretty good job."

 

The righty starter pitched for Buffalo in 2014 and 2015, before making 13 starts with the LG Twins of the Korean Baseball Organization earlier in 2016.

 

"It was a little different, I learned a lot of stuff, but hopefully I can get back to the show," Copeland said of his stint in Korea. "Strike zones were smaller, fields were smaller, but I definitely got better as a pitcher."

 

Catcher A.J. Jimenez tied-up the score for the Herd in the third, knocking a leadoff homer to even the game at one.

 

After Burns' blast, Goft Ngoepe knocked a RBI single off the glove of a diving Ryan Goins into centerfield in the seventh, cutting the Bisons' lead to 4-2. Aaron Loup, on the mound in relief of Copeland, benefitted from a constant bugaboo for the Bisons' offensively this year, in the form of an inning-ending double play.

 

Brault left following Burns home run in the sixth, giving way to Lithuanian-born Dovydas Neverauskas. In the seventh, the Bisons found themselves with the bases loaded, when Junior Lake tapped a two-run single, forcing Neverauskas from the game. John Kuchno then stranded a pair of runners on base, fanning Andy Burns.

 

Bo Schultz yielded a RBI-single to Indy's Elias Diaz in the eighth, as the Herd's lead held at 6-3 entering the bottom of the eighth.

 

Eight hitters came to the plate in the eighth, as Buffalo scored three times in the bottom of the inning. Dalton Pompey reached on a bunt single, stole second and moved to third on a throwing error, and scored on a single by Matt Dominguez. A batter later, Jesus Montero knocked his fourth hit, bringing home Ryan Goins. Finally, Junior Lake knocked a single to score Buffalo's final run.

 

Chad Girodo pitched a scoreless inning in the ninth to seal the Herd's victory.

 

Tomorrow, Scott Diamond looks to bounce back from a rough outing his last time out, in which he allowed six earned runs in a loss to Syracuse. He will square off against Indianapolis' starter Trevor Williams on Wednesday, with first pitch set for 7:05 p.m. from Coca-Cola Field. The first 3,000 fans to enter through the Inspire Dental Gate at Swan will receive an Aaron Sanchez bobblehead.

 

BISONS NOTES:

Prior to Tuesdays game, infielder Alexi Casilla was activated off the disabled list… A.J. Jimenez third-inning blast was just his third of the year, and first since May 24, which was the last time any Bison catcher connected for a home run… Jesus Montero picks up his fifth multi-hit game in his last nine contests… The Herd clinches its first series win over Indianapolis since the Bisons' championship season of 2004… Burns extends his hitting streak to seven games, and his three-run home run gives him his second three-RBI game this year.

Bowie, MD - Jon Berti drove in two runs and stole two bases and Rowdy Tellez added two hits and an RBI as the Fisher Cats opened a six-game roadtrip with a 6-2 win at Bowie on Tuesday night.

 

New Hampshire (53-61) scored three times in the top of the fourth inning. Jason Leblebijian singled and Derrick Loveless reached on an error. Christian Lopes singled, his third hit of the game, to drive in Leblebijian. Lopes then stole second and when Bowie made an error on the throw, Loveless scored. Richard Urena then doubled to drive in Lopes to put the Fisher Cats up 3-0.

 

The Baysox (49-66) cut the lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth inning by taking advantage of the wildness of starter Shane Dawson, who walked the bases loaded before yielding to reliever Brady Dragmire. Dragmire (3-5), who earned the win in relief induced a doubleplay as one run scored. Henry Uuruita beat out an infield single as a second run scored.

 

New Hampshire scored the game's final three runs. Berti walked and stole second, scoring on a double by Rowdy Tellez for a 4-2 lead in the seventh. Berti ripped a two-run single with the bases loaded in the top of the eighth and added another stolen base to give the Fisher Cats some breathing room en route to the win.

 

Dawson worked into the fifth inning, allowing two runs on three hits, but he walked a career high six batters. New Hampshire relievers were strong again. In addition to Dragmire's two scoreless innings, Colton Turner, Wil Browning and Murphy Smith combined to keep the Baysox off the board.

 

The series with Bowie continues on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. RHP Wilmer Font (1-0, 3.60) starts for the Fisher Cats against Baysox RHP David Hess (4-10, 5.55).

 

The Fisher Cats return to Northeast Delta Dental on Monday, August 15 to start a homestand with the Binghamton Mets. Join us as we begin our Back To School Celebration with a Pencil Bag Giveaway to the first 1,000 kids. For tickets, visit www.nhfishercats.com.

LANSING, Mich. - Carl Wise returned from the Disabled List with a four-hit game capped by a two-out RBI single in the bottom of the 13th inning, and the Lansing Lugnuts (23-22, 59-56) completed a sweep of the Fort Wayne TinCaps (18-27, 54-61), 4-3, in a Tuesday matinee at Cooley Law School Stadium.

 

After losing three in a row to Bowling Green to open the homestand, the Lugnuts won four in a row against the TinCaps to regain momentum and build a 4.0-game playoff lead.

 

With one out in the 13th, Juan Kelly slugged a double to center against TinCaps reliever Corey Kimber (Loss, 2-2). Ryan Hissey was intentionally walked, Justin Atkinson moved both runners up a base, and Connor Panas was intentionally walked to load the bases. That brought up Wise, who stroked a 3-2 pitch to deep left-center, touching off a jubilant celebration.

 

It was Wise's second game-winning hit against Fort Wayne in 2016. The first was on April 19th, an RBI single in the ninth that provided the Lugnuts' first walk-off win of the year.

 

The Lugs grabbed an early 3-0 lead with a three-run 2nd-inning rally against Fort Wayne starter Thomas Dorminy. Carl Wise led off with a single, J.C. Cardenas doubled him home, Andrew Guillotte followed with an RBI single, and John La Prise capped matters with a sacrifice fly.

 

Lansing starter Angel Perdomo made the lead stand up through six scoreless innings, striking out five.

 

Fort Wayne rallied late. Carlos Belen homered off Tom Robson in the eighth, drawing the TinCaps within 3-1. In the ninth, the 'Caps tied the game against Andrew Case (Blown Save, 1) on a fielding error by third baseman Wise and an RBI single by Rod Boykin. Case responded by setting down three of the next four hitters, stranding the bases loaded.

 

The TinCaps went 0-for-12 in extra innings, dispatched in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth innings by Jackson Lowery, and through the thirteenth by Tayler Saucedo (Win, 8-9).

 

Wednesday is a league-wide off day, followed by a four-game series for the Lugnuts at West Michigan stretching from Thursday through Sunday.

 

The next Lugnuts home game is on Monday, August 15th, opening a seven-game homestand. For more information or to purchase your tickets, call 517-485-4500 or visit lansinglugnuts.com.

PRINCETON, WV- The Princeton Rays (23-21) dropped the final game of their series against the Bluefield Blue Jays (25-21) by a score of 9-1 on Tuesday at H.P. Hunnicutt Field.

 

The loss meant Princeton and Bluefield tied in the four-game series, but the Rays still hold a 4-3 lead over the Blue Jays in the overall Mercer Cup series standings.

 

Bluefield quickly took a 5-0 lead through three innings on Tuesday, boosted by a grand slam home run off the bat of Blue Jays second baseman Javier Monzon in the third inning.

 

Despite all but one Rays batter recording at least one hit on the night, Princeton notched its sole run of the game in the fourth inning on RBI-single by center fielder Emilio Gustave that scored first baseman Bobby Melley, who got on base with a double.

 

Bluefield went on to rack up three more runs in the fifth and one in the sixth to extend their lead to 9-1. Two of those insurance runs came from solo home runs by Monzon, his second home run of the night, and one from Blue Jays third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., his fifth of the season.

 

On the mound for Princeton, starter Sam Long pitched two and one-third innings, giving up three runs on three hits and striking out three in his first loss of the season.

 

Reliever Eric Diomartich made his Princeton debut after being promoted from the Gulf Coast League Rays on Sunday, surrendering six runs on six hits and stricking out three in three and two-thirds innings of work.

 

Fellow reliever Austin Sweet closed out the game with three scoreless innings and four strikeouts for the Rays in the loss.

Francisco Mejia Update

 

http://i.imgur.com/LzQqBDI.png

 

Hit Streak: 48 games

 

Indians catching prospect Francisco Mejia got the drama out of the way early again on Tuesday, stretching his historic hitting streak to 48 consecutive games with a double in his first at-bat in Class A Advanced Lynchburg's 2-1 win at Potomac. The streak is the longest in Minor League Baseball in 62 years.

 

Mejia's streak is the seventh-longest in Minor League history and the longest since Roman Mejias hit in 55 straight for Waco in 1954. Next up on the list are Jack Ness and Harry Chozen, who hit in 50 straight games in 1915 and '45, respectively.

 

Mejia's first-inning double marked the second consecutive game that he extended his streak with a two-bagger in his first at-bat and the fourth time in six games that he notched a base hit in his first at-bat of the game. The Hillcats backstop tacked on two singles in a 3-for-4 effort and has collected three or more hits six times during the 48-game span.

 

Mejia has posted a .389/.415/.601 slash line with 13 doubles, two triples, eight homers and 41 RBIs during his streak, which began more than two months ago on May 27.

 

Two days before the non-waiver Trade Deadline, Mejia, the Indians' No. 4 prospect, was the centerpiece in a proposed deal between the Indians and Brewers that would have sent him and two more of Cleveland's Top 30 Prospects -- shortstop Yu-Cheng Chang and outfielder Greg Allen -- along with reliever Shawn Armstrong to Milwaukee for catcher Jonathan Lucroy. The deal was nixed the day before the Deadline, though, when Lucroy exercised his no-trade clause.

 

The MiLB hit streak record is 69, set by Joe Wilhoit in 1919. Joe DiMaggio, whose big league record hit streak of 56 games is being celebrated for its 75th anniversary this season, had a 61-game Minor League hit streak in 1933, second-longest of all-time.

 

Perhaps most impressive in Mejia's current run is how he's hurdled major obstacles that could've potentially led to a hitless night.

 

Mejia was promoted to Lynchburg 24 games into the streak, and he has had three layoffs of four days or more during his incredible run: four days due to the Midwest League All-Star Game on June 21, in which he fittingly registered a hit; four days due to the SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game on July 10, in which he also recorded a hit; and he was sidelined from July 18-22 while dealing with the stomach flu. He then blocked out the commotion that surrounded him for several days as the Trade Deadline approached. Also adding to the marvel, Mejia has been his team's catcher in 38 of the 48 games, while serving as the designated hitter in the others.

 

Here is a look at how Mejia reached via hit over the past two months to set the longest streak of 2016 in pro baseball:

Richard Urena

 

http://www.milb.com/assets/images/1/5/0/194538150/cuts/Urena_960_ks3llg33_6j08t0r5.jpg

 

http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20160809&content_id=194531170&fext=.jsp&vkey=news_milb

 

Richard Urena began his professional career as a 17-year-old in the Dominican Summer League in 2013, and in each season since, he has earned a promotion.

 

So it should come as no surprise that Toronto's top prospect, who was bumped up from Class A Advanced Dunedin at the beginning of the month, is looking as comfortable as ever since arriving in New Hampshire a week ago.

 

"I was really happy when they told me," said Urena of the latest promotion, through teammate and translator Jorge Saez. "I couldn't wait to get up here."

 

He has made that abundantly clear since joining the Fisher Cats after leaving Dunedin, hitting .305 on the heels of a six-game hitting streak in which he collected 14 hits.

 

Urena hasn't slowed for a second as he has hit safely in his first five games for New Hampshire, including a three-hit debut and three multi-hit efforts.

 

"It's definitely helped me," he said about having dealt with in-season promotions in the past. "I feel like I put myself in a good position because I work very hard at just trying to get better. It's helped me move up."

 

For Urena, the only differences he has noticed thus far at this new level is that the players are more experienced, so his instant success at the Double-A level has simply been a matter of maintaining his routine while staying dedicated to his work ethic.

 

"It's nothing more than working hard in the cage, working hard out here and trusting in my own abilities," Urena said. "I'm just doing the same thing."

 

The 20-year-old is also working hard at shortstop, committing only one error in his first 45 innings at the position for New Hampshire. But it his plate prowess that has drawn the attention of those who hadn't seen him play prior to his arrival in the Eastern League.

 

The tool are starting to all come together, and most importantly it seems the mentality and maturity are in line with everything.

 

The current post-season plan is for Urena to return to his hometown of San Francisco de Macoris in the Dominican Republic to play winter ball with the Gigantes de Cibao, where he played nine games last year.

 

Until that time, he is looking to continue to showcase himself at this new level in hopes of getting that next promotion at some point in the near future.

 

"I just want to continue going good the rest of the year and just keep coming out here and continuing to get better and see what happens at the end of the year," said Urena.

Josh Palacios

 

http://wpmedia.theprovince.com/2016/08/new-vancouver-canadian-josh-palacios-shown-with-auburn-unive1.jpeg?quality=60&strip=all&w=840&h=630&crop=1

 

http://theprovince.com/sports/baseball/canadians-outfielder-palacios-sure-knows-his-baseball

 

You can learn a lot about Josh Palacios in a single sentence.

 

“My favourite player of all time is Roberto Clemente,” the Vancouver Canadians centre fielder explains when asked about his baseball heroes.

 

Palacios, a fourth-round draft pick of the Toronto Blue Jays in June, turned 21 two weeks ago. Clemente, the Pittsburgh Pirates legendary right fielder, died on Dec. 31, 1972.

 

Before you start questioning whether Palacios was playing for the crowd with that answer and merely trying to sound astute, consider that he comes from a baseball family. His uncle, Rey Palacios, was a backup catcher in the bigs with the Kansas City Royals from 1988-90. Dad Richard Palacios was skilled enough as a pitcher that he got a look from the Detroit Tigers, according to his son.

 

Father is also apparently gifted enough as a coach that he’s helping turning out future pros. Along with Josh, there’s his younger brother Richie, 19, who hit .329, with six home runs, 38 runs batted in and 32 steals for Towson University in 54 games this season as a freshman with the Baltimore-area NCAA program.

 

“From what my parents and my uncle and my grandfather told me, and the video that I got to watch, he’s hands-down my favourite player on and off the field,” Josh said of Clemente, who was well known for his charity work and died in a plane crash while en route to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.

 

Growing up in Brooklyn, Palacios also admits an affinity for Derek Jeter, although he contends that “everyone in New York is somewhat of a Jeter guy or girl.”

 

“I was a Yankees fan, so when it was Blue Jays (who drafted him), at first I like ‘All right,’” said the 6-foot-1, 193-pound left-handed hitter. “The longer I am here, though, the more I grow to appreciate the organization and how well we are treated. I’m so grateful for the opportunity and them giving me a fair chance.”

 

Baseball America tagged Palacios in their draft preview as a “potentially above-average bat thanks to his natural rhythm at the plate and his feel for hitting.”

 

He hit .385 in 34 games with Auburn this NCAA season, adding five home runs and 23 runs batted in for the eastern Alabama team. He missed more than a month with a wrist injury.

 

The Blue Jays gave Palacios a signing bonus of $438,100, according to Baseball America, and assigned him to their rookie-level Gulf Coast League team in Florida. He hit .265 in 13 games there before being promoted to Vancouver.

 

Going into Monday, he had hit .294 in 14 games with the C’s.

 

“The family is excited,” he said. “Vancouver is the farthest I’ve been from New York in terms of distance, but everybody is excited because you’re moving up.

 

“My parents know how it goes. It helps. My dad has been through it. My uncle has been through it. They know exactly what is going on.”

John La Prise

 

http://jaysprospects.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/laprisecropped-300x199.jpg

 

http://jaysprospects.com/2016/08/08/john-la-prise-lansing/

 

Changing positions is a common occurrence for many minor leaguers. That’s why it’s important for scouts to discover players that have the ability to move around the diamond as needed for future opportunities in the game.

 

That’s exactly what happened when Blue Jays scouts encouraged the organization to take a flyer on John La Prise during the 2015 draft. Performing primarily as a third baseman and an outfielder at the University of Virginia; the Blue Jays envisioned the prospect playing up the middle as a second baseman when they picked him in the 19th round.

 

Beginning his transformation during extended spring training, La Prise found some of the initial footwork involved with the position challenging as he was recovering from hip surgery from an injury he suffered last summer.

 

“I was working on a lot of defensive specific drills in extended,” explained La Prise. “Coming off of hip surgery, I was trying to get a wider base for my fielding. It really helped me get into the swing of things. It got me into my daily routines so I would be ready for my time in Lansing.”

 

“The footwork is definitely different for the 4-6-3 double play” La Prise added. “It was tough being wide and able to pivot as well. All of those idiosyncrasies in the footwork made it a tough process. I think extended helped me a lot in that area.”

 

The hard work has paid off as La Prise is one of the Lugnuts best defenders. Currently sporting a .966 fielding percentage, while taken part in 25 double plays, and assisting on another 132 is a strong inductor that the young infielder is developing well at his new position.

 

His play doesn’t end in the field though as La Prise has been a steady hitter in the Lugnuts lineup this season. Known for his capability to hit line drives, it makes complete sense why the Blue Jays wanted to move the prospect to the middle of the diamond where there’s less emphasis on hitting for power.

 

“I’m trying to keep my plate approach simple and do whatever the team needs me to do,” stated La Prise. “Sometimes I think I try to be too big and try to hit home runs, so I try to keep it simple hit line drives and help the team win.”

 

Maintaining a .274/.338/.335 slash line in Lansing has been a nice way to kick off his time in low-A ball. Recording 49 hits in 179 at-bats, La Prise has notched 10 extra base hits, which includes: nine doubles, and a triple.

 

Making advances in the batter’s box thanks to the help of Lansing Lugnuts hitting coach Donnie Murphy, La Prise discusses what he has liked about working with the former big leaguer.

 

“I love working with Donnie,” said La Prise. “Donnie played in the big leagues for nine years so he definitely knows his stuff. He gives great advice and keeps you even keel every night.”

 

The admiration goes both ways as Murphy is impressed with the way La Prise has been able to bounce back after a major operation.

 

“I’m impressed with the way John La Prise has been able to step into the lineup after hip surgery a year ago,” stated Murphy. “John has a natural feel for the game. He played for a great college program and it’s shown here. He’s playing great baseball.”

 

Crediting a lot of his success in baseball on the fact that he played numerous sports in high school; La Prise sees some direct correlations between the skills he attained in soccer and basketball to those he uses on the diamond every night.

 

“In soccer and basketball there’s a lot of agility and side movements,” explained La Prise. “I loved playing whatever sport was in season and I definitely feel it helped me in baseball.”

 

His love for baseball has paid huge dividends in his life to date and for the Blue Jays who could’ve potentially found a future major leaguer late in the process.

 

But no matter how long his transition takes at second base, fans of the Toronto Blue Jays will continue to follow John La Prise for years to come.
