There were five games on tap in the Rangers minor league system today, as Down East played a doubleheader to make up its rainout from yesterday.

Nick Starr, Joe Corbett and Joshua Javier combined for four shutout no hit innings after Sparks. The three hits for Down East came from Obie Ricumstrict, Evan Carter (who had two walks, one intentional) and Dustin Harris, who had the walk off single and also walked. Jayce Easley drew a pair of walks and stole two bases. Evan Carter also had a stolen base.

Down East was rained out and Round Rock has the day off, but Frisco balances that out somewhat by playing a doubleheader after last night’s rainout.
Cole Ragans made his second start of the year for the Hickory Crawdads, and it went much better than the first. Ragans went 4 innings, striking out 5 and walking 2 while allowing 3 hits. Per Mark Parker, the one run he allowed was due largely to a couple of defensive lapses by Ragans, first by allowing a runner to reach on an infield single by not covering first, then by getting just one out on a potential GIDP comebacker. For someone who has not been in game action for as long as Ragans has, though, some rust there is understandable.
