Is chourio one of his little hot spots, or is he finding his timing without the tacky balls? Four hits in two games, with a double and a home run

[Ro Mueller]

The High-A Timber Rattlers get us started in Peoria today, with RHP Edwin Jimenez (3.58 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 70.1 IP) aiming to lead the team to a 2-1 series win. 2B Jheremy Vargas returns after last playing 8 days ago. 

[TURBO]

Friend of a friend said that Misierowski got called up to AA.  Haven't seen anything official yet, so take it for what it's worth...

 

[Ro Mueller]

Rough start again for Edwin Jimenez. He didn’t allow 3 or more runs in any of his first 12 games this year (3-6 innings pitched in each game), but has now allowed at least 3 runs in each of his last 5 outings.

Today, he’s allowed 7 players to reach in the first 2 innings, though 2 GIDPs limited the damage to 3 runs. And Wisconsin has answered back with 2 runs in the top of the 3rd inning, spurred by a Jheremy Vargas single and Robert Moore double. 

So we’re only down 3-2 going into the bottom of the 3rd inning, with the struggling Jimenez coming back out.

Yeah, that 3rd inning went about as badly as I’d feared: double and 4 singles off Jimenez to start the frame…nobody out…

That frame ended with 4 runs in, Rattlers trailing 7-2. Ernesto Martinez then pulled one back with an oppo solo shot. 7-3. RHP Nick Merkel comes in for the 4th inning.

[Ro Mueller]

The Low-A Mudcats will try to grab a 2-1 series win in Myrtle Beach, with RHP Will Childers (4.79 ERA with 16 Ks in 20.2 IP) making his 3rd start (7th appearance). SS Gregory Barrios is 8-for-21 in his 5-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

Wisconsin grabs 3 runs back in the 5th inning on 3 hits (including Ben Metzinger 2-run double) and an HBP. Trailing just 7-6 now.

While Nick Merkel keeps the Chiefs bats quiet (well, thru 2 innings of work), Je’Von Ward now homers to tie it 7-7. To the bottom of the 6th inning they go. 

[Ro Mueller]

The AA Shuckers’ home series against Rocket City also hangs in the balance at 1-1. Let’s see how RHP TJ Shook (5.80 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 11.8 K/9 in 45 IP) performs on proper rest. CF Jackson Chourio has 3 straight multi-hit games (6-for-13, 2 HRs, double).

Ugh. A walk, single, 3-run homer off Merkel put Wisconsin right back in a 10-7 hole. But Joe Gray Jr. has homered to grab one back. Now down 10-8 in the bottom of the 7th inning.

[Joseph Zarr]

INF Tyler Black already set the Shuckers record for consecutive games on base this season. Well, he is fast approaching breaking the stolen base mark as well. He comes in today's tilt with 41 swipes in 2023 (sheeesh). In 2017, CF Johnny Davis (2013 Brewers draft pick - voluntarily retired in 2019) set the franchise record with 52. 

Stay tuned during this ongoing second half. He obviously has a very healthy opportunity to break this record as well - if he stays in Biloxi for a bit more time.

[Ro Mueller]

LHP Robert Gasser (3.94 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 in 80 IP) returns from suspension for AAA Nashville for his first proper action since July 1, with the team needing to avoid a 3-0 sweep in Louisville. CF Monte Harrison is playing for the first time since June 11. 

[Ro Mueller]

It's a back-and-forth finale in Louisville. Nashville trailed 1-0 after the 1st inning and 3-1 after four innings, but turned it around with 3 runs on 4 singles in the 5th inning.

A solo homer off of rehabbing Justin Wilson tied it back up at 4-4 in the 8th inning. Toro, Hiura and VanMeter are due up in the 9th.

Luis Urias has singled and walked 4 times, but the Sounds have stranded 10 baserunners. Robert Gasser conceded 3 runs and 9 hits in 5 IP, registering 8 strikeouts.

[Ro Mueller]

In Biloxi, Rocket City's manager was tossed before the game started, which is hopefully a good omen (knock on wood). Jackson Chourio has two line drive singles to right field, the latter doubling the Shuckers' early lead at 2-0. Thus far, it looks like we're getting the good version of TJ Shook (knock on wood again) - no hits for the Trash Pandas through 3 innings.

[Ro Mueller]

The Mudcats were stifled in their series finale, needing an 8th inning single from Hedbert Perez to avoid being no-hit in their 8-0 defeat. At least RHP Jeferson Figueroa was promising in relief again - 3 scoreless innings, dropping season ERA to 2.45.

Louisville has an ungodly amount of bloops and seeing eye singles today. They have 10 hits with EV under 90 mph.

[Ro Mueller]

Nashville and Louisville went to a 10th inning and each team scored its ghost runner on a sac fly, though that's where the similarities end. Lousville gets a 2-out, 3-run walk-off homer off LHP Darrell Thompson. Sounds fall 8-5.

[wibadgers23]

Four straight multi-hit games for Chourio. I think he’s starting to heat up, folks.

[Ro Mueller]

Isaac Collins widened Biloxi's 2-run lead with a 3-run opposite field homer in the 4th inning.

I do not like this story. I do not like it one bit. I do not like this story. I do not like that hit.

[ELCABALLO45]

I was today years old when I found out that Black has 42 stolen bases this year. Lord have mercy
