Elijah Hainline has great first game with Great Lakes

Elijah Hainline debuts in High-A with two extra-base hits

All eyes were on the Futures Game on Saturday, and the Dodgers affiliates had a slow day, with Double-A Tulsa the only team notching a win.

Player of the day

With not much in the way of Dodgers prospect heroics in the regular games, we’ll take the easy way and give it to Josue De Paula for his three-run homer that won him the Futures Game MVP.

Triple-A Oklahoma City

The Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Astros) defeated the Comets 7-5. Matt Sauer started for the Comets and pitched five innings, giving up five runs on eight hits, including two home runs. Blake Treinen relieved Sauer and gave up an unearned run due to a two-base throwing error, but completed one inning without giving up a hit. Ryan Ward and Hunter Feduccia both had two RBIs for the Comets. Jon Singleton, who had a home run, double, and five RBIs for the Space Cowboys the prior game, hit two more homers and added another five RBIs in this game.

Double-A Tulsa

Five Tulsa pitchers combined for 17 strikeouts as the Drillers defeated the Arkansas Travelers (Mariners) 4-2. After tying the score 2-2 with a run in the seventh inning, the Drillers scored two runs in the eighth for the winning margin. The key hit was a run-scoring double by Ezequiel Pagan that broke the tie.

High-A Great Lakes

With Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope playing in the Futures Game, the Great Lakes Loons lost their game against the Lansing Lugnuts (Athletics) 9-2. The Lugnuts scored three runs in the first inning off Loons starter Brooks Auger. By the time the Loons got around to any scoring, they were already down 9-0. Elijah Hainline hit a double and a triple in his first game in High-A. Hainline was hitting .300 with a .430 on-base percentage for Rancho Cucamonga prior to his promotion.

Low-A Rancho Cucamonga

The Inland Empire 66ers (Angels) hung on to beat the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes 7-6. Sterling Patick started for the Quakes and gave up six runs on six hits in four and one-third innings. Niko Perez and Jose Meza had home runs for the Quakes in a losing effort.
