July 28th Blue Jays Minor Leagues Recap: Turconi extends streak. Heineman, Schneider, and Horwitz power Herd to victory

Buffalo- The Herd continue to claw their way back to .500. They scored two runs in the 1st and 2nd innings and added a run in the 3rd. In the 4th, Tyler Heineman scored on a balk while Spencer Horwitz stroked a 3-run double to bust the barn doors off. Heineman popped an insurance 3-run jack to make it 12 to 2. Paxton Schultz needed 84 pitches to complete 4 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits. Newly signed 28-year-old Gabe Klobosits teamed up with Junior Fernandez, Hagen Danner, and Brandon Eisert to hold the RailRiders scoreless over the final 5 innings. Davis Schneider went 3-for-3 with two doubles (21), two runs, two RBI (60), and a walk while playing LF and batting cleanup.

New Hampshire- The Fisher Cats came out on the losing end of a 13-8 game. The Fisher Cats hit 10 singles and a home run (Damiano Palmegiani). Palmegiani, Will Robertson, Riley Tirotta, and Steward Berroa all finished with multi-hit games. The Yard Goats battled back from a 6 to 2 deficit after 4 innings, scoring 3 runs in the 6th off Alejandro Melean, 6-5. Hartford added 5 runs in the 8th inning off Gabriel Ponce and TJ Brock. Brock returned in the 9th, allowing three runs to score before Adrian Hernandez came in to get the final two outs. Fisher Cats pitching allowed 6 balls to leave the yard. Brock allowed 3.

Vancouver- Everett scored a run in the 3rd off Kevin Miranda, adding two runs in the 6th off Naswell Paulino. It was good to see Miranda complete 5 innings and only allow a single run while striking out a pair. It was a tough month for him, posting a 5.54ERA in 4 starts while opponents batted .339 off the 24-year-old. Ryan Boyer struck out three batters over two scoreless innings and Conor Larkin set the AquaSox down in order in the 9th. Cade Doughty went 2-for-4 with his 12th home run, a two-run shot in the 1st inning. Jeffrey Wehler also had two hits but he was caught stealing twice.
