Monday was one of the rare days of the 2011 Arizona Fall League season where balls were not flying out of the yard at a torrid pace, as just three home runs were hit across the league. The Phoenix Desert Dogs beat the Salt River Rafters 4-1. The game featured the debut of Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman who pitched a scoreless inning in the first of three scheduled fall league appearances for Phoenix. The Peoria Javelinas defeated the Scottsdale Scorpions 8-4. Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Steven Hensley picked up the win with two scoreless innings of relief. Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Will Latimer was roughed up allowing four earned runs in one third of an inning for Scottsdale. The Surprise Saguaros got the 8-3 win over the Mesa Solar Sox. Wil Myers had three hits and drove in three runs for Surprise, while Mesa’s Robbie Grossman raised his season average to .400 after a three hit day.
