Mariners Minor League Game Action Recap for July 28
AAA -- Reno 6, Tacoma 5 -- Box
Nate Tenbrink (26intheMix) may be watching the grains of sand dwindle in his MLB hourglass, but he's not going down without a fight. The Kansas State prospect's three-run blast in the 3rd gave Tacoma a short-lived 4-3 lead. He also added a single and a walk.
Ty Kelly had four singles, and Brandon Bantz had three.
It was a rough outing for Andrew Carraway (Watch List): 5.0 IP, 6 ER.
AA -- Huntsville 7, Jackson 2 -- Box
The Generals were generally not so great on Sunday, but James Jones (Watch List) managed a hit, two walks and a stolen base.
