1 game information Thursday, April 19 Shrine on Airline Metairie, LA THE BABY CAKES The New Orleans Baby Cakes continue a sevengame homestand tonight with the third of four games vs. the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. The Cakes dropped all three meetings at Security Service Field last week and have lost seven of the last nine against the Sky Sox dating back to last season. New Orleans saw its longest home winning streak in nearly five years - five games - snapped last night. YESTERDAY S NEWS Colorado Springs scored four times in the sixth inning and four more times in the seventh to rally past the Baby Cakes, 8-5. Three New Orleans errors contributed to the rallies, permitting four unearned runs to score and turn a 2-0 lead into an 8-2 deficit. Johnny Giavotella misplayed a grounder by Brett Phillips leading off the sixth, and Andres Blanco delivered a game-tying two-run single two batters later. Blanco scored on a fielding error by Scott Van Slyke, and Nate Orf followed with an RBI single. A dropped fly ball by Isaac Galloway in the seventh opened the door for another big inning, capped by Blanco s tworun homer off Nick Wittgren. The Cakes came back to bring the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth on a two-run double by Van Slyke, who had homered an inning earlier. But Radhames Liz came out of the bullpen to strike out Galloway for the final out and earn the save. James Buckelew took the loss by yielding three hits and four runs, only one of which was earned, after starter Ben Meyer spun 5.0 shutout frames. ON THE HILL Joe Gunkel gets the call for his third start and fourth appearance of the season. He limited Oklahoma City to two hits in 5.0 scoreless innings on Sunday and has yielded just one run - a solo homer to Nashville s Slade Heathcott - and four hits in 8.0 innings across his two starting assignments. Gunkel has yet to walk a batter, and his 0.73 WHIP ranks second in the PCL among pitchers with at least 10.0 innings pitched, behind Fresno s Kent Emmanuel (0.64). Tonight marks his first career appearance against Colorado Springs. new orleans baby cakes (5-9) vs. COLORADO SPRINGS SKY SOX (9-4) RHP Joe Gunkel (0-0, 1.64) vs. RHP Corbin Burnes (0-0, 3.27) On This Date... JOHNNY G Johnny Giavotella went 1x4 last night and is 2x7 with a walk and an RBI double in his first two games with the Baby Cakes, playing on the same field where he helped Jesuit High School win the 2005 Louisiana state championship. Giavotella went on to earn All-American honors in his three seasons at the University of New Orleans before being drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the second round in In 25 pro games at the Shrine, Giavotella is batting.351 (33x94) with eight doubles, three home runs and 17 RBI. TEARS IN SEVEN The Baby Cakes have surrendered at least seven runs in eight of their nine defeats. It was not until the team s 28th game last season (May 5 vs. Iowa) that the Cakes allowed seven or more runs for the eighth time. 2008: Fernando Tatis blasts two home runs, giving him eight in the team s first 17 games, to lead New Orleans past Omaha 6-2. Tony Armas holds the Royals to an unearned run and four hits over 5.2 innings to pick up the win. 31 ALWAYS The Baby Cakes announced last Thursday they would be retiring jersey 31 in honor of Wally Pontiff, Jr., who wore the number as an All-American third baseman at LSU prior to his passing in The Pontiff Classic featuring LSU has been played at the Shrine on Airline in Pontiff s native Metairie annually since 2004 and has raised more than $1.5 million for charitable organizations. The ceremony, marking the first number to be retired in franchise history, will take place July 27 when the Baby Cakes host Tacoma. HIT ME UP The Baby Cakes piled up a season-high 13 hits last night, with at least one from all nine players in the starting lineup, including the first career hit for pitcher Ben Meyer. Jonathan Rodriguez chipped in a pinch single in the ninth; only Rafael Ortega, who struck out as a pinch hitter in the sixth, failed to collect a hit. SLYKE FATHER, SLYKE SON Scott Van Slyke turned in his team-high fifth multi-hit effort with a double and a homer, and became the second Baby Cake to finish with three RBI in a game, joining Cito Culver (April 12 at Colorado Springs). Van Slyke s.480 on-base percentage ranks sixth in the PCL. RISPY BUSINESS The Baby Cakes are hitting.214 (30x114) through the first 14 games, leading only Omaha (.178) among PCL clubs. NOLA ranked last in the league in each of the last two seasons, batting.250 with RISP in 2017, and.257 in New Orleans has left at least nine men on base in each of the last five losses. SIR ISAAC Isaac Galloway s stolen base on Monday was the 54th of his New Orleans career, moving past Kyle Logan into sole posession of second place on the franchise s all-time list. Only Colin Porter (61) has more steals in a New Orleans uniform. Galloway has hit safely in six of his last seven contests, going 9x23 (.391) with one triple, one home run and four RBI. BEN IS MIGHTIER Ben Meyer has yielded one or no runs in 10 of his 15 starting assignments over the last two seasons between New Orleans and High-A Jupiter. When pitching in his home ballpark, Meyer owns a 1.33 ERA (7 ER/47.1 IP) and has held opponents to a.146 batting average (23x158) while striking out 55 batters. ERRONEOUS New Orleans committed three errors in a game for the first time since last July 28 at Fresno. The Baby Cakes had just one miscue in the previous 43.1 innings until two errors in last night s sixth inning. NOLA fell to 1-7 when committing an error. PLAYOFF PELS The Baby Cakes are wearing their Pelicans throwback uniforms tonight and on Saturday while the New Orleans Pelicans host NBA playoff games. The uniforms are modeled after those worn by the city s Southern Association franchise in 1955 when they served as a Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. ROSTER MOVES New Orleans has added catcher Chad Wallach, who was optioned on Tuesday when Miami activated J.T. Realmuto. Wallach was 4x31 (.129) with two RBI and 17 strikeouts in nine games. In a corresponding move, Sharif Othman was transferred to AA Jacksonville after hitting.185 (5x27) with three RBI in eight games with the Baby Cakes.
