Brice's family is all in Biloxi this weekend to watch him play. Hopefully he puts on a show.

Gabe Holt is back from injury to set the table for Joe Gray Jr. Carolina’s 2-game losing streak ends now:

The Nashville Sounds seek a third straight win, with Bowden Francis aiming for another strong start (his 3rd since being promoted to AAA):

2 - Turang - SS

3 - Henry - C

4 - Palma - LF

6 - Lutz - CF

7 - Spanberger - RF

8 - Devanney - 3B

9 - Aguilar - 1B

X - J. Castillo - P

This is weird, when was the last time the Brewers had multiple players with 10+ hit streaks going at the same time in the minors? Feels like this should happen more but I can't remember the last time the Brewers have had players do this.

[markedman5]

Francis with an excellent outing tonight for Nashville. 7 scoreless.

[brewmann04]

Could he be a late season call up ?

[folly412]

Francis with an excellent outing tonight for Nashville. 7 scoreless.

 

Only one hit and one walk as well, very nice. Wonder if we'll see him get a chance if Anderson and Lauer struggle at the back end.

[CheeseheadInQC]

Ashby will probably get a shot first, but I know Francis had gotten some likely bullpen scouting reports in past years, so he could be a candidate there as well. It was nice to have a stellar night from him. In a year where it seems most of the Brewers pitching prospects are either exceeding or falling short of expectations, he'd been just kind of been meeting them so far.

[Ro Mueller]

Je’Von Ward extended his hitting streak to 17 games with two outs in the 9th.

 

Brice Turang extended his hitting streak to 15 games with one out in the 9th.

 

Joe Gray Jr.’s hitting streak has been halted at 17 games.

 

Let’s also not sleep on Justin Bullock’s 20-inning scoreless streak!

Infielder Yeison Coca last saw action Saturday the 5th.

 

We highlighted Hayden Cantrelle's fine OBP status earlier this week. On base four times here, and steals four bases in as many attempts.

Pre-Game Media Notes

 

Warren Homers Again in 6-4 Loss at Kannapolis

Joe Gray Jr. was held without a hit and saw his hitting streak end at 17 straight in the loss

 

RHP Michele Vassalotti's struggles a surprise (he does earn praise in the audio below); he's coming off his Australia stint this past winter.

 

Cam Robinson stranded two inherited baserunners (came in with only one out), and then finished up with a full scoreless inning.

Low 90’s velo. Can run it up to 93. Hides the ball pretty well in the games I’ve watched where it can jump on hitters. Change up is his best and most consistent secondary offering. Has a hard slider, but it’s more of a bury pitch than a strike getter.
