Houston Astros Minor League Recap: May 27th
All four teams in action with three of them walking away with a win. See how the prospects performed last night.
AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (21-26) lost 17-4 (BOX SCORE)
Rough game for Fresno. It got off to a rough start with Hauschild allowing 6 runs in the first inning, though all were unearned. In unfortunate news, AJ Reed doubled but was pulled after running the bases. Hopefully it’s nothing serious. In the 4th Fresno was able to get 2 runs off of only 1 hit. Colorado Springs kept hitting though scoring another 6 runs in the 6th inning. Duffy did add a 2 run triple but that was all Fresno could get going.
