In his first appearance as a member of the Astros organization, Andre Scrubb walked one and struck out two in a scoreless 9th inning as Corpus Christi smacked Northwest Arkansas 18-6. The Hooks scored 11 runs in the 8th to blow this one open.
This does not happen much, right? I hope Bryan Martinez speaks The Spanish. ETA: After two years at a JUCO, Martinez projects to GCL or even TriCity. There are a lot of 17-18 year olds in the DSL. That is high school baseball, albeit very good high school baseball, perhaps a good USA travel team.
I think you can only assign a drafted player to the DSL if he's born outside of the United States or in Puerto Rico. It appears that Bryan Martinez was born in the Dominican Republic.

Who homered today Drew Ferguson (9, 2-run) Kyle Tucker (27, solo) Alex De Goti (10, solo) Colton Shaver (14, solo) Seth Beer (23, solo) Jeremy Peña (7, solo)
Abraham Toro hit two home runs last night, giving him 16 on the year. The first was a two-run shot and then he was the first in a series of back-to-back-to-back solo homers with Seth Beer and Colton Shaver. He also hit the go-ahead RBI double in the 10th inning of Corpus Christi's 7-6 win in Springfield. Beer and Shaver now have 24 and 15 home runs, respectively. Chuckie Robinson also hit a solo home run for the Hooks, his 7th of the year.
Looks like that lineup was incorrect, Papierski is catching. Whitley is through 2 perfect innings with 5 k.
This is one of the most promising minor league performances throughout the entire organization all season long. If this is him getting back on track that is HUGE news.
