TEXAS LEAGUE (DOUBLE-A)
Wichita Wind Surge 0
Midland RockHounds 6
WP: Arnold 3-5 / 4.24
HR: Lasko (6), Conn (5), Boser (4)
LHP Jamie Arnold turned in one of his best starts of the season to help the RockHounds record their second straight win over the Wind Surge on Thursday. Last year’s top draft pick for the A’s allowed just 1 hit and 2 walks while notching 4 strikeouts through 6 scoreless frames to earn the victory for Midland. Arnold threw 88 pitches, 55 for strikes, and he’s compiled a 2.31 ERA over 23 1/3 innings of work in the month of June. RHPs Jake Garland, A.J. Causey and Stevie Emanuels each tossed a scoreless inning in relief to complete the three-hit shutout for the Hounds. Center fielder Ryan Lasko, second baseman Bobby Boser and catcher Cole Conn all homered. Designated hitter Davis Diaz went 4 for 4 with a double, stole a base and scored a run, while first baseman Euribiel Angeles singled twice, walked twice and scored a run, and shortstop Leo De Vries had a pair of hits, drew a walk, drove in a run and stole 3 bases to bring his team-leading total to 28 for the season.
