"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Julio Rodriguez&lt;\\/strong&gt; doesn&amp;#39;t overpower hitters, but the Phillies righthander still finds ways to get swings and misses thanks to his deception and feel for his craft.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\tOne day after his 21st birthday, Rodriguez was at his best Tuesday night, throwing six shutout innings for high Class A Clearwater against Brevard County. Rodriguez limited the Manatees to one hit and two walks while striking out 10, his third double-digit strikeout game of the season. He didn&amp;#39;t figure in the decision, keeping his record at 16-7, but he did drop his ERA down to 2.73.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\tAn eighth-round pick in 2008, Rodriguez surpassed his previous career-high for innings pitched (90) long ago, as Tuesday&amp;#39;s start brought his season total up to 152. We&amp;#39;ll have to see what impact that has on him next year, but Rodriguez hasn&amp;#39;t worn down at all as this year&amp;#39;s gone on. In fact, he&amp;#39;d only gotten better. Rodriguez is riding a 22-inning shutout streak dating back to Aug. 12 and his 2.50 ERA since the midpoint of the season is the second best in the Florida State League.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\t&lt;span id=\\\"more-46936\\\"&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\t&lt;strong&gt;AROUND THE MINORS&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\t&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n\\t&amp;bull; &lt;strong&gt;Conner Crumbliss&amp;#39;&lt;\\/strong&gt; bread and butter is his on-base ability. He led the minors in walks last year with 126 in low Class A and ranks fourth this year with 91 for high Class A Stockton. He&amp;#39;ll never be known for power, but the Athletics&amp;#39; 24-year-old second baseman put on a show Tuesday. Crumbliss hit for the cycle in Stockton&amp;#39;s 17-4 win against Modesto, going 4-for-6 with two RBIs and three runs scored. He singled in the first, doubled in the third, homered (his seventh of the year) in the fourth and finished the job with a triple to lead off the seventh. The Emporia State (Kan.) product improved to .273\\/.406\\/.388 in 407 at-bats for the year.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\t&amp;bull; The Rangers believed enough in righthander &lt;strong&gt;Justin Grimm&amp;#39;s&lt;\\/strong&gt; potential to give him $825,000 as a fifth-round pick last year in spite of his having an underwhelming college career at Georgia. Grimm has rewarded that faith with a solid first full season in high Class A, going 5-2, 3.39 in 16 starts for Myrtle Beach. The hard-throwing 23-year-old had his best start of the year Tuesday, working six innings and allowing only one hit (a solo homer) against Wilmington. He matched his season-high with eight strikeouts and had only one walk.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\t&amp;bull; You might have to go back awhile to find the last time &lt;strong&gt;Trevor Bauer&lt;\\/strong&gt; got hit this hard. In another reminder that nobody&amp;#39;s perfect, the fast-rising Diamondbacks righthander hit his first real speed bump since being the third overall pick in this year&amp;#39;s draft. Making his fourth start for Double-A Mobile, Bauer recorded just five outs while getting hammered for 10 runs (all earned) on eight hits and three walks. After he&amp;#39;d allowed just four runs in 15 innings in his first three Mobile starts, his Double-A ERA ballooned to 7.56. But we&amp;#39;re still betting he&amp;#39;ll be fine.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\t&amp;bull; Dodgers left fielder &lt;strong&gt;Angelo Songco &lt;\\/strong&gt;is making a push for the California League home run title, and a series in High Desert should help. The 22-year-old went 3-for-5 with a homer and two doubles the first game of high Class A Rancho Cucamonga&amp;#39;s three-game set at High Desert last night. He&amp;#39;s up to 27 homers for the season, two behind league leader &lt;strong&gt;Michael Choice&amp;#39;s&lt;\\/strong&gt; 29. Songco is finishing strong, hitting .363\\/.392\\/.714 in August and .312\\/.364\\/.576 for the year.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
