DSL Brewers Dos are looking to move quickly past yesterday's close loss jumping out to a 7-1 lead in the 2nd frame. Highly touted signee, Venezuelan 17-year-old INF Fillipo Di Turi is 2-for-2 already 1 R, 2 RBI and he's done his part turning a dp.

Talented RHP Jose Menses is out to showcase his improved precision in 2023 is sustainable as the 5-2 Brewers Dos take on the 5-2 Angelos. The Uno have jumped out to an early 1-0 lead with the coveted DSL wild pitch rbi.

Di Turi having quite the day so far, as is 16-year-old Roderick Flores.  A combined 5 hits and 6 RBI's between the two of them in the 5th.

Yophery Rodriguez hit his first professional home run! 

To go with a 10 - 3 walk to strikeout ratio, he's off to a very solid start. Nice to see some of the power show up!

[Joseph Zarr]

This is not the start 19-year-old Dominican lefty David Dominguez was looking for in 2023. After a decent inaugural DSL season in 2022 (13 G, 26 1/3 IP, 1 H, 3.76 ERA, 0.200 BAA, 1.25 WHIP, 30 K, 14 BB), he has scuffled out of the gates. In just his second outing today, he really struggled with control once again: 1 2/3 IP, 1 H, 4 BB, 2 K, 5 ER. The 10-2 lead evaporated real quick like to a close 10-7 DSL Dos lead here in the top of the 7th. That's now 8 BB to 6 K in a mere 4 IP over his first two outings. Plenty to sharpen up as he moves forward into the summer. Go get it, young man!

[Joseph Zarr]

DSL Uno's 17-year-old Mexican righty Eric Prado is having a statement-making second outing versus the formidable DSL Angelos: 3 1/3 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 6 K. ¡Vamos! The Uno hold steady to their 3-0 lead late.

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin lost a close one yesterday at Great Lakes. They’ll try to claim a 2-1 series lead behind RHP Cameron Wagoner (4.50 ERA, 1.20 WHIP in last 2 starts) today. SS Robert Moore has a .794 OPS over his last 13 games (58 PAs). 

[Ro Mueller]

AAA Nashville is up 2 games to 0 at home against Gwinnett and gives RHP Caleb Boushley (4.88 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 7.8 K/9 in 55.1 IP) his first action in 8 days. 1B Patrick Dorrian has a .983 OPS in his last 106 PAs. 

[Joseph Zarr]

Dorrian's 2nd consecutive game at 1B as well as they await Hiura's return.

[Ro Mueller]

The AA Shuckers lead their series 1-0 in Montgomery and have solid 21-year old RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez (3.54 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 12.5 K/9 in 53.1 IP) starting tonight. DH/C/1B Wes Clarke is on a solid run (.894 OPS in last 123 PAs). 

[Ro Mueller]

18-year old CF Luis Lara returns from injury for his first game in 8 days, as Low-A Carolina will try to end its 8-game skid and cut its series deficit to 2-1 in Augusta. RHP Patricio Aquino (2.08 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 8.9 K/9 in 30.1 IP) gets the start.

Does anyone have eyes on why RHP Carlos F. Rodriguez was pulled after 3 1/3 scoreless and 60 pitches? 

PLEASE be fine! Eeeeeek!

He was pulled in the 4th after a K. Then a full count walk (to the backstop on ball 4). Then a 4 pitch walk and then he was yanked. All I can say is: Roinks!

Yeah I have no clue what happened, but my best guess is it was a planned short start. No trainer came out to the mound and Middendorf was ready to come into the game immediately. Just did not at all feel like an injury situation.

[wibadgers23]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the day Lara returns, Carolina’s offense erupts.

[Joseph Zarr]

INF Tyler Black hit his 8th long ball of his season and added a double. That's how you extend that on-base streak to 34 games. I would like to, again, remind everyone: Black has ONE game all season he wasn't on base at least once. Just absurd stuff he is doing in early 2023. Just a casual man toss of the 3 Iron after this laser:

 

[markedman5]

You know if Black doesn’t have a position we have a big hole in the lineup at DH…….just saying…..😏

[Brewcrew82]

Bush still throwing in the low 90s...

[Joseph Zarr]

Uribe's first action in Triple-A. Lead off walk. K. Walk. Men on 1st and 2nd. One down. Accardo to the mound to talk to the young flamethrower. He needs this exposure. He'll be facing much more patient bats. He is clearly amped up. LHP Clayton Andrews is up warming up now. 3-2 Sounds. Eighth frame.

[markedman5]

Ugh….. double play ball thrown into centerfield 

[Joseph Zarr]

Oh my word. Uribe got the clear double play ball. Right to his glove. He botches the throw to 2nd base. He had Grissom at home by a mile - he had broken to the plate. Either way, Uribe blows the play and the inning carries on. Woof.

[wiguy94]

Not a good throw by Uribe, but Turang needs to be making that out at 2B. That didn't hit the dirt before it got to him. 

[Joseph Zarr]

You can absolutely tell this is the subdued unsure version of Uribe. This is exactly why he needs to get Triple-A exposure before any notions he can play in the MLB right now. He gets the 2 K. Those walks hurt him but he has to make that play to get out of the inning. Mixed inning. 25 pitches. Got the big K there. The walks were wild. Andrews will get the call with runners on 1st and 2nd.
