Tennessee tied 3-3 in the 7th. I love these morning games that I can check during lunch. Tseng with 4 K's during 3 shutout innings before getting lifted.

 

""Mobile Top of the 4th Kevin Cron singles on a sharp ground ball to third baseman Jeimer Candelario, deflected by pitcher Jen-Ho Tseng." Then pitching change.

 

Chesny Young, with another HR, he leads the Cubs system with 2HR.

 

Corey Black has amazingly gone 1.1 innings without a single walk.

Wonder how serious it is.

Tennessee loses game, 5-4, despite outhitting 15-7.

Candelario not surprisingly is having a slow start in AA, Smokies got the first two guys on in the 9th, but Candelario hit into DP and McKinney K'd to end it.

Other team got their last two runs by bunching a walk by Black, two walks by Acevedo, an error (Penalver), and a stolen base around a single single.

Eddy Julio Martinez homer.

[UMFan83]

JavyBomb

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Contreras goes 3 for 4

 

Almora with 2 walks and 2 Ks

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Contreras now 4 for 5 with a double

 

Vogelbach 3 for 4 with a 2B, BB, and K

[JennieGarthAlgar]

So sounds like it was a good day, all around

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Great day. 4 BB for Almora through 4 games. Contreras just keeps hitting. Nice to see those two start out strong. Plus a JavyBomb! I am anxious to see Eloy and Eddy Martinez in person in a few weeks.

Same thought, it's totally empty there.

Chesny Young is off to a hot start and showing surprising pop. Actually the start isn't all that hot for him. He hit .327/.384/.409 between short season A and Low-A two years ago and .320/.392/.386 between Low-A and High-A last year while walking more than he struck out. So getting off to a .350/.458 start with 4 BBs against 1 K isn't all that shocking. But the .650 SLG is. It's just SSS and will clearly correct over time but he hit this one deep.
