LP: Jackson 0-1 / 20.25

LHP James Gonzalez turned in his most dominant start yet for Midland on Friday. The 23-year-old Panamanian southpaw threw 6 scoreless innings, allowing just 1 hit while recording 8 strikeouts for the RockHounds. And Gonzalez has now notched the third-most strikeouts in the A’s system this season while also boasting the fourth-best ERA among A’s minor leaguers with at least 40 innings pitched. He left Friday’s game with a one-run lead, but RHP Zach Jackson, who was recently demoted from Triple-A Las Vegas, gave up 3 runs in the 7th inning to blow the potential save and take the loss for Midland. Right fielder Junior Perez had a pair of hits, including a double, while catcher Daniel Susac and left fielder Colby Thomas each doubled and drew a walk in the loss.
