Unfortunately, a pair of Giants pitchers had some struggles in this one, as the Scorpions fell in one of their final three games of the season, although Ahuna is starting to string together some hits. Plus, some postseason schedule news.
Scottsdale: Salt River Rafters 6, Scottsdale Scorpions 3 (7 Innings)
Giants Prospects to Spotlight:
- 2B Maui Ahuna (SF #12): 2-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K – Maui Ahuna was one of just two Scottsdale players with multiple hits in a good game. He’s now 10-for-43 (.233) on the fall, with two doubles.
- SP Ryan Murphy: 3.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HBP – Not the best start for Murphy, who sees his fall ERA jump to 4.24 and now has 13 strikeouts to ten walks in 17.0 innings.
- RP Juan Sanchez: 1.0 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 1 WP, 1 Balk, 1 HBP – A rough one for Sanchez, who let his wildness get to him today. He had allowed only one run in 9.0 IP before this game.

Arizona Fall League Postseason Schedule
The Arizona Fall League postseason has been scheduled to start on Thursday, but with weather coming in this weekend, the schedule has changed.
The regular season games planned for Wednesday are canceled, and instead, the postseason has been moved up a day, with the first round games between the bottom four seeds will occur on Wednesday. The Semifinals will move up to Thursday. No official announcement about a change was made about the finals, but one can expect that will be played on Friday…it is currently still listed for Saturday, when rain is expected.
As noted before, both Scottsdale and Surprise have easily taken the top two seeds, so they will not play on Wednesday.

So, today the Giants traded for KC Royals pitcher Logan Martin (in return for the DFA’d Mason Black). Martin is one of the Royals’ players on the Surprise Saguaros.
I wonder if he’s going to be a part of Scottsdale’s pitching staff after this trade for the playoffs, or if he’ll stay with Surprise for the playoffs.
I tweeted at the Arizona Fall League’s account to see if they’ll give an answer.
