Arizona Fall League: Games of October 15


I apologize for not letting you know I'd be gone for a few days.  Today we start catching up.  A big day for Eddie Rosario.  Walks are prominent in deciding games.

EDIT--I see I'm out of order, because I haven't done games of October 14 yet.  Sorry about that, too.  They'll be coming up later.

PEORIA 5, GLENDALE 4 IN PEORIA

Twins:  Eddie Rosario was 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI.
Glendale:  Tucker Barnhart (Cincinnati) was 1-for-3 with a walk and a double.
Peoria:  Japhet Amador (Houston) was 2-for-4 with a home run.  Cameron Rupp (Philadelphia) was 2-for-4 and scored once.  Jason Adam (Kansas City) pitched four shutout innings, giving up two hits and no walks with two strikeouts.
The game:  Peoria led 4-0 after four, but Glendale came back with three in the fifth and one in the sixth to tie it.  In the seventh four walks, three of them coming with two out, forced in the go-ahead and ultimately winning run.

MESA 7, SCOTTSDALE 4 IN MESA

Scottsdale:  Angel Villalona (San Francisco) was 2-for-3 with a walk and two RBIs.
Mesa:  Albert Almora (Cubs) was 2-for-4 with a walk and two doubles, scoring once and driving in two.  Sammy Solis (Washington) struck out eight in four innings, allowing one run on three hits and two walks.
The game:  Mesa scored all seven runs in the third and led 7-0.  They were aided by three walks, a hit batsman, and an error.  Scottsdale got single runs in the fourth, seventh, eighth, and ninth.

SURPRISE 9, SALT RIVER 2 IN SALT RIVER

Surprise:  Tyler Naquin (Cleveland) was 3-for-5 with a run and two RBIs.  Jorge Alfaro (Texas) was 2-for-3 with a walk, scoring twice and driving in one.  Miguel Pena (Boston) pitched 3.2 innings, giving up one run on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts.
Salt River:  Stephen Piscotty (St. Louis) was 2-for-4.  Nick Ahmed (Arizona) was 2-for-4.  Bo Schultz (Arizona) allowed two unearned runs on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts in five innings.
The game:  Surprise scored six in the sixth to break a 2-2 tie.  Dariel Alvarez (Baltimore) had a two-run triple in the inning.
