Frisco 6, at Midland 3

By Scott Lucas

AA: Frisco 6, at Midland 3
Record: 38-31, +2.5, first half over

Walks per start by Blake Beavan:
0: 6
1: 7
2: 1
3: 1
4+: none

Beavan refused to concede a single walk once again. He struck out six and allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits. In his last nine starts covering 241 batters, Beavan has yielded one homer and five bases on balls. That is ridiculous. His strikeout rate during this period is an ordinary 16%, about 2% below the league average, but every other statistical aspect of his game is top notch.

Marcus Lemon propelled the offense with his second homer, a single and walk. Nobody else managed more than a single hit, but Frisco strung together enough one-baggers and walks to plate six.

Kasey Kiker has been activated from the DL. Andrew Laughter has reluctantly taken Kiker’s place. Utility man Andy Jenkins dropped down from OKC.
