Final Score: Norfolk 12, Pawtucket Red Sox 2

Notable Pitchers:

Keith Couch (3 IP, 10 H, 9 R)

Jeff Bianchi (1 IP, 0 H, 0 R)

* Bianchi, an infielder who saw time in Boston this season, made his second mound appearance of the season. After the disaster that is now the Pawtucket staff you may see more of Bianchi.

Notable Position Players:

Allen Craig (0-3)

Jackie Bradley (1-4)

Garin Cecchini (2-3)

Double-A Portland Sea Dogs

Final Score: Portland Sea Dogs 3, Trenton 2 (10 innings).

Notable Pitchers:

Justin Haley (5 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 7 K)

Madison Younginer (3 IP, 0 H, 0 R)

Notable Position Players:

Manuel Margot (0-5)

Sam Travis (0-3, R)

Tim Roberson (2-4, 2B, RBI)

* Roberson is an undrafted player who is a 26-year-old catcher. The right-handed hitting Roberson is now batting .325 for the season and has no walks in 83 at bats. So much for the Red Sox OBP model.

Rafael Devers (1-4, 2B, RBI)

Michael Chavis (1-4, 2B, R)

Nick Longhi (0-4)

Yoan Moncada (1-3, RBI, SB (18th))

Javier Guerra (2-4)

* Guerra continues to hover around the .300 mark (.309) while playing excellent defense.The month of July has been rewarding for Guerra with a .435 average. Don’t expect much in the speed department from the lithe shortstop with only one steal in six attempts.

Short Season A Lowell Spinners

Final Score: Lowell 2, Tri-City 1

Notable Pitchers:

Logan Boyd (2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K)

Dioscar Romero (4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 5 BB, 2 K)

* Romero is a 20-year-old right-hander and it is not difficult to determine his area of need – control. This season in 25.1 innings Tomero has issued 16 walks. Last season with the GCL Red Sox it was 28 passes in 34.1 innings.

Notable Position Players:

Jeremy Rivera (0-3)

Josh Ockimey (1-3, RBI)

Chad De La Guerra (2-3, R, 2B)

Gulf Coast League Red Sox (Rookie)

Final Score: GCL Red Sox 9. GCL Rays 1

Notable Pitchers:

Anderson Espinoza (4 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K)

Jalen Williams (3 IP, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K)

* Williams stands out physically at 6′ 4″ and 210 pounds. The 20-year-old right-hander – a 16th round selection in 2013 – throws in the low 90s and is attempting to develop secondary pitches so that ne can vacate the GCL.

Notable Position Players:

Yomar Valentine (0-4)

Yoan Aybar (2-4), R, 2B, RBI)

Jerry Downs (2-3, 3 R, 2 doubles, 2 RBI)

Kyri Washington (2-4, 3 RBI)
