Double-A Portland Sea Dogs

Final Score: Sea Dogs 2, New Hampshire Fisher Cats 0

Notable Pitchers:

Williams Jerez (2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, K)

Notable Position Players:

Carlos Asuaje (0-4, K)

Manuel Margot (0-4)

Henry Ramos (3-4, 2B)

• Ramos’s season has largely been hampered by injuries but if yesterday is any indication, he might be rounding into form again. We’re talking about a guy that was enjoying a breakout season here in Portland a year ago before injuries prematurely ended his season and Ramos has the potential to be at least a fourth outfielder, plus he’s still just 23 years old.

High-A Salem Red Sox

Final Score: Myrtle Beach Pelicans 4, Red Sox 0

Notable Position Players:

Mauricio Dubon (0-4, 2 K)

• Dubon, who was having an excellent season with the Low-A Drive, continues to struggle since moving up to Salem. In 21 games, he’s hitting only .200/.274/.227 and has lost much of the helium that he had gained with the Drive. Still, he’s just 21 years old and there’s time to turn his season around.

Low-A Greenville Drive

Final Score: Asheville Tourists 5, Drive 4

Notable Pitchers:

Jalen Beeks (6 IP, 5 H, 2 R, BB, 5 K)

Notable Position Players:

Rafael Devers (2-5, HR)

• Devers’ season has been marked by torrid stretches which have largely offset extended slumps. Having gone 2-5 with a home run in back-to-back games now, he appears to be entering one of those hot streaks at the plate.

Javier Guerra (0-5)

Nick Longhi (1-3, 2 BB)

Danny Mars (1-3, BB, SB)

Yoan Moncada (1-5, 2 K)

Jun 13, 2015; Omaha, NE, USA; Arkansas Razorbacks runner

Short Season-A Lowell Spinners

Final Score: Staten Island Yankees 4, Spinners 3

Notable Pitchers:

Jake Cosart (5 IP, 5 H, 2 R, BB, 2 K)

• Cosart was taken in the third round of last year’s draft as a project arm and his rawness has been transparent this season as he has a 6.86 ERA and more walks than strikeouts. In fact, walks have been a huge problem for him thus far and yesterday’s outing, which saw him only walk one batter in a successful start, is quite encouraging for the hard-throwing right-hander.

Bobby Poyner (0 IP, H, R)

Notable Position Players:

Victor Acosta (1-4, K)

Luis Alexander Basabe (1-5, SB, K)

Andrew Benintendi (1-2, HR, 2 BB)

• After a dull stretch of games, Benintendi is definitely back on track, hitting a home run and drawing two more walks. He’s gotten his slash line up to .250/.429/.472 and he’s back to looking the part of Boston’s first-round draft pick.

Josh Ockimey (0-4, K)
