In Dodgers minor league action, Tyler Glasnow took another step back toward the Dodgers rotation, Sean Linan had his best start for Great Lakes, and Ryan Ward continues to slug.
Player of the day
20-year-old Sean Linan wasn’t on too many people’s radar coming into this season. Last year, he pitched at Low-A ball, after a stint in the rookie League, starting four games and relieving in eleven, and had an overall ERA of 4.37 over 70 innings pitched. This year, he opened eyes when in his first 30 innings repeating Low-A ball, he had 50 strikeouts, a 0.843 WHIP, and a 1.21 ERA. Since then, he has settled into High-A ball, after being given two Triple-A starts that didn’t go that well. That continued Thursday with five scoreless innings for Great Lakes, with five strikeouts.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
The Comets pieced together three three-run innings to defeat the Las Vegas Aviators (Athletics) 9-5. Tyler Glasnow started the game for the Comets, making his third rehab appearance after getting shut down from pitching with shoulder inflammation. Glasnow threw 78 pitches (51 strikes) and lasted four and one-third innings, giving up three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight.

Double-A Tulsa
The score was tied 4-4 going into the ninth inning, but the Wichita Wind Surge (Twins) surged for six runs to win their game over the Drillers, 10-6. Christian Suarez took the loss, giving up six runs (five earned), two hits, three walks, and hitting a batter, without being able to record an out. Jackson Ferris started the game for the Drillers and pitched five innings, giving up three runs, three hits, five walks, and striking out four.
High-A Great Lakes
After Linan’s five scoreless innings for the Loons, but the West Michigan Whitecaps scored a run in the eighth inning to tie the game, and walked it off with a run in the tenth, winning the game 2-1. Zyhir Hope hit his eighth homer and drove in his 50th run for the Loons’ only run.

Low-A Rancho Cucamonga
The Quakes only had three singles, but it was enough to defeat the Visalia Rawhide 4-3. Consecutive sacrifice flies by Eduardo Quintero and Jaron Elkins in the seventh inning were the difference in the game. Aidan Foeller started the game for the Quakes and pitched three scoreless innings. Quintero, who leads the California League in home runs (13), OPS (.966), runs scored (61), and is second in batting average (.309), has fallen into his first slump of the season. He is one for his last 16, and four for his last 33.
