at Frisco 1, San Antonio 0 (11 innings)

By Scott Lucas

AA: at Frisco 1, San Antonio 0 (11 innings)
Record: 10-10, -1.0

Kevin Richardson’s 11th-inning sac fly scored pinch-runner Renny Osuna following walks to Johnny Whittleman and Andy Jenkins plus a Wes Bankston sac bunt. 2B Marcus Lemon (.255/.264/.392) played the field for the first time since Opening Day and went 3-5.

Absent my presence as a cooler, Blake Beavan (3.38 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) tossed 5.2 scoreless innings and struck out six against one walk and five hits. The six Ks were his most since his inaugural AA start last June. Despite the seeming efficiency, Beavan did throw 95 pitches without completing six innings. Zach Phillips tallied the last out of the 6th and worked through the 7th, followed by clean frames from Alexi Ogando (no strikeouts) and Tanner Scheppers (one). Ryan Tatusko then pitched the 10th and 11th ably to set up the victory.
