Article: Brewers Minor League Link Report (7/17): Dominican Clubs Interrupted by Storms, Maryvale Thumped

[Jim Goulart]

It was an even lighter Monday than usual for Milwaukee farm teams, and while the DSL clubs took shelter mid-way through their contests, the boys in Maryvale could only hope for an escape that never came. But we plug away here, rain or shine, to bring you the latest. As always, thanks for visiting.

Oh yes, and this as well, though it won't be officially announced as a transaction on MiLB.com's wire until later today at the earliest:

Final: ACL Giants Black 12, ACL Brewers 1

Box Score / Game Log

It's too bad that with the spotlight to themselves, the Maryvale Crew had a clunker of a game. Things were fine after four innings, with the now 13-15 Brewers up by a 1-0 score.

17-year-old RHP Manuel Rodriguez was cruising, but the game of baseball can bite you quickly. A walk, a ground ball single, and a three-run HR to start the Giants' 5th ended the impressive Mexico native's day abruptly.

Two struggling arms followed. RHP Brailin Rodriguez' first season back from Tommy John has been difficult. RHP Anthony Perez entered in the 9th and his game log is worth a look. How do you allow four earned runs on just one hit and no walks? Well, you hit three of the first five Giants to come to the plate, mix in a balk and a wild pitch, and then watch the San Francisco prospect catcher hit his 2nd HR of the game to secure vengeance for all the plunkings.

2022 3rd round middle infielder Dylan O'Rae singled and stole his 20th base in as many attempts. 

20-year-old 2022 15th round catcher Satchell Norman celebrated the recognition the organization provided him below with a double to send his OPS to 1.103 in 62 plate appearances.

Suspended by lightning with one out in the top of the Brewers 5th: DSL Guardians Red 1, DSL Brewers #1 Squad 0

Box Score / Game Log

Via my co-worker on both DSL games for us @damuelle:

DSL Brewers-1 was trailing DSL Guardians Red 1-0 in the top of the 5th inning, but had the bases loaded with 1 out. The teams are scheduled to play again in 10 days' time, they'll likely finish it up then. LHP Anthony Flores was the starting pitcher having a decent outing, while CF Yophery Rodriguez was 0-for-2 (no Ks) after an extremely rare 0-for-4 day (1 K) on Saturday.

Suspended by rain after 2.5 innings: DSL Guardians Blue 5, DSL Brewers #2 Squad 0

Box Score / Game Log

DSL Brewers-2 was trailing DSL Guardians Blue 5-0 in the bottom of the 3rd inning and had not yet recorded a hit. The teams are scheduled to play again in three days' time, so maybe they'll actually finish it up then. RHP Bryan Rivera was the starting pitcher somewhat surprisingly getting roughed up in this game.

Uh-oh, both Dominican clubs face Dodger entries Tuesday, the Cerveceros Uno and Dos are winless on the season versus the LA squads. Only the Mudcats play at home among the full-season clubs. Have a nice one, folks.
