Final: DSL Brewers-2 - 2 runs; DSL Brewers-1 - 0 runs

The Brewers obviously have strong confidence in second-year, 18-year old RHP Bryan Rivera, giving him his 9th start of the season. On this day, Rivera delivered his best start (5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 5 Ks; season ERA 4.28), getting the better of 17-year RHP Eric Prado to earn his first official win of 2023.

For his part, Prado was respectable in defeat: 4 IP, 2 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 4 Ks, 1 WP as his season ERA lifted to 1.50.

At the plate, DSL Brewers-2 grabbed the game's only runs in the top of the 3rd inning, with C Freider Rojas (1-for-2, SB) singling, stealing second base and scoring on a Filippo Di Turi (1-for-3, RBI; season OPS .800) ground out, then DH/UT Pedro Ibarguen (2-for-3, RBI; season OPS .776) following with an RBI single.

Let's hear it for relief pitchers 19-year old RHP Yeferson Tales and 18-year old Lenin Mendez, who combined on five scoreless innings with 5 Ks with no walks.

And the catchers both came through defensively, throwing out 4 of 5 attempted basestealers - two each for Rojas and C Yannic Walthier.

Finally, center fielder Yophery Rodriguez went 0-for-3 with a K (season OPS .924), but did throw out a runner on at second base.

In the ACL Brewers’ game tonight, 23-year old undrafted C Alejandro Rodriguez is making his organizational debut in 104 degree heat.

17-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez is the starting pitcher, making his 8th appearance of 2023.

DH/INF Mike Boeve was hit by a pitch in the 1st inning and now hits his first homer as a Brewer (solo shot to center) to give the team a 2-1 lead in the 3rd inning.

3B Brock Wilken has K’d twice thus far.

Brock Wilken hits his first homer in the Brewers’ organization, a 2-run shot to tie the game 5-5 in the 5th inning.

Young Manuel Rodriguez was roughed up for 4 runs in the top half of the inning against the likes of 4th overall pick Wyatt Langford.

Wyatt Langford bomb ties it up for ACL Texas top of nine.

Miguel Briceno, Dylan O’Rae and Mike Boeve due up for the hopeful walk off with Wilken, Baez and Yeison Perez waiting in the wings.

[sveumrules]

Briceno single + O’Rae walk + Boeve single + Wilken single = 7-6 walk off win for the ACL Crew.

Dylan O’Rae’s 11-for-17 week landed him on this list:

Reyes is quite the intriguing LH arm. 19 years old with a projectable body. Liking the international arms added the last couple of years, and especially at the bonus numbers given out.

Considering Bovee & Wilken will be linked together through draft class and will probably play together many stops on their path to MLB, cool to see them Homer together for 1st time. Hopefully, first of many!

 

Hopefully rest of picks get some time soon in AZ & the big shuffle happens. At this point not too sure what good it is for O’Rae & even Baez in AZ anymore. Give them next challenge.
