Low-A: at Clinton 3, Wisconsin 1Win: Beavan (9-6, 2.28)
Save: Flores (12, 4.15)
Blake Beavan had struck out five batters on four difference occasions. He blew out that previous career-best with nine against the Timber Rattlers on Friday in six shutout innings. Beavan walked one and allowed three singles. In the 40 innings pitched since Independence Day, Beavan has an ERA of 0.90, 26 hits, no homers, nine walks, and 28 strikeouts. He’s good.
Cristian Santana and Matt Lawson hit solo homers, their 11th and 5th, respectively. Engel Beltre singled and doubled. Chris Dennis struck out two in a scoreless 7th and 8th.
Five of the Rangers' six farm clubs racked up double-digit strikeout totals last night, setting 65 hitters down on strikes in 52 innings (with 23 walks). Standing out were Frisco's Neftali Feliz (eight strikeouts in four innings), Bakersfield's Tanner Roark (six strikeouts in three innings of relief), Clinton's Blake Beavan (nine strikeouts in six innings), and the Arizona League's Joseph Wieland (six strikeouts in three innings of relief).
Beavan in April and May: six starts, 2.90 ERA, .226 OBA, 15/1 K/BB in 31 innings
Beavan in June: six starts, 3.41 ERA, .276 OBA, 17/7 K/BB in 31.2 innings
Beavan in July: five starts, 0.93 ERA, .196 OBA, 15/7 K/BB in 29 innings
Beavan in August: two starts, 0.82 ERA, .171 OBA, 13/2 K/BB in 11 innings
At 9-6, 2.28 overall, the 19-year-old has had a fantastic debut season pitching in a league where only 10 percent of the players are still in their teens. He's had seven straight starts in which he's surrendered one earned run or none.

Is Beavan going to be great in the Majors? Too early to say, but I like the odds.
