Our last Arizona Fall League recap posted on Friday before the site went offline for upgrades. That was a one-sided contest with poor pitching from the Pittsburgh Pirates prospects, so it was a game to forget. Here’s a link anyway. The Surprise Saguaros have played two games since then and you didn’t miss much. Just one player from the Pirates saw action on Saturday, and three played on Monday. The league was off on Sunday and Surprise has off today. Here are the two brief game recaps.
Saturday
Nick Gonzales was the only Pirates player to see action. Seven Pirates played in the previous game, with only Gonzales not seeing action. On Saturday, he went 1-for-4 with a single in the 6-0 loss. He played shortstop and batted lead-off.
Monday
Gonzales and Henry Davis both started the Halloween game. Gonzales was the DH and batting third. He went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He’s batting .250 with an .806 OPS this fall in 62 plate appearances. Davis went 1-for-4 with a single. He’s hitting .267 with an .861 OPS in 60 plate appearances. Colin Selby tossed the ninth inning and retired all three batters he faced, getting out of the inning on 11 pitches. He has a 2.25 ERA and eight strikeouts in eight innings.
Surprise is in first place with six games left in the season. They will play next on Wednesday night at 9:35 PM ET.
