Share this story
The Diamondbacks Minor League affiliates combined for a 1-3 record, with Reno being the only team to pick up a win. All three of their losses came with the bullpen giving up late runs. Notable pitching prospects that took the mound were Ryne Nelson for Amarillo, Drey Jameson for Hillsboro, and Liam Norris for Visalia.
Top Pitching Performance: Reno RHPs Kevin McCanna and Ryan Weiss: 5 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 8 K
Top Hitting Performance: Visalia DH Elian Miranda: 2 for 4, GS (5), 7 RBI
Reno turned to a bullpen game for their strategy on the mound and it had a great early effect. Kevin McCanna would strike out 5 in the first three innings before giving way to Ryan Weiss, who continued the theme with 3 Ks in the 4th and 5th. That allowed Reno to build an early 4-0 lead on the strength of home runs. Drew Ellis opened the scoring off David Huff, hammering a 3-run homer off the southpaw in the 3rd
