DSL Brewers 1 couldn't get it done though falling 3-2 to the Braves.

20-year old RHP Patricio Aquino (2.06 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 in 52.1 IP) gets the start for Low-A Carolina, which aims for a 3-0 series lead at home against Kannapolis. DH/1B Jesus Chirinos is 12-for-25 in July with 10 walks and 2 homers. 

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin seeks to extend its 2-0 series lead in Dayton. 21-year old RHP Alexander Cornielle has put together a string of 4 decent outings (2.87 ERA in last 15.2 IP). 1B Ernesto Martinez has hit safely in 18 of his last 19 games, with an 1.142 OPS in that time. 

[Ro Mueller]

22-year old DH/3B Tyler Black is 4th in OBP, 6th in SLG, 1st in SBs (with 43!) and 3rd in walks in the Southern League, leading off again as AA Biloxi looks to grab a 2-1 series lead in Montgomery. RHP Christian Mejias (6.96 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 in 76.1 IP) gets the start. 

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Jason Alexander (6 ER in 2 IP last time out) looks for a bounce-back outing to lead AAA Nashville to a 2-1 series lead over Jacksonville at home. 1B Keston Hiura has an .893 OPS in 12 July games, but has also K’d in 8 straight games.

Young just announced on the Mudcats broadcast that Hedbert Perez broke a bone in his foot running the bases on Tuesday. Really feel for the kid in the midst of possibly figuring it out at A ball

[wiguy94]

In positive news, Luke Adams is continuing his insane hot streak. It’s the 3rd inning and he’s already 2-2 with a 2B and HR. The HR was a 427ft blast to straightaway CF over the 20ft wall

[wiguy94]

 

[Ro Mueller]

Pretty nice start for Nashville: Josh VanMeter walk, Sal Frelick 2-run homer, Abraham Toro solo homer. Go Sounds!! 

[Ro Mueller]

Balls are flying out early:

• Noah Campbell 2-run shot to give Biloxi a 2-0 lead
• Jose Acosta 2-run shot to give Wisconsin a 2-1 lead
• Brian Navaretto adds a solo shot to boost Nashville's lead to 4-0

[Joseph Zarr]

OF Je'Von Ward is having a heck of a series at Dayton. If I am not mistaken, that is his 4th 2B in three games? Heck, let's look it up: going back to the final two games versus Peoria:

5 G, 9-for-19 (2-for-2 tonight) 5 2B, 2 HR

Whewwwww baby!

T-Rats lead 5-1 but Cornielle is walking the tightrope of his sometimes walk tendencies.

Frelick starting to heat up and inch his way toward "call-up territory".

[markedman5]

Really happy to see Frelick have a big game………

Been hitting the ball a lot better within the past few days. Wonder if the thumb is feeling better. That's a tough injury for a hitter.
