Feel free to conduct Monday minor league chatter that doesn't land clearly in other existing threads here.

NOTE: With the Maryvale game standing alone, there will not be a traditional Link Report on Tuesday AM solely on this late-evening contest.

Another night, another Nicaraguan starting pitcher making his stateside debut for our ACL Brewers, this time 18-year old RHP Bryan Rivera (3.57 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 10.7 K/9 in 53 DSL IP in 2023) as they play at the ACL Reds:

1 - Ibarguen - RF
2 - Roller - CF (rehabbing)
3 - Bitonti - 3B
4 - Di Turi - SS
5 - Alastre - 2B
6 - Luis Lameda - 1B (ACL debut)
7 - Ordonez - C
8 - Holguin - 1B
9 - Gomez - LF
X - B. Rivera - P

No Brock Wilken. Is he headed straight to Biloxi?

No 1B Johan Barrios or OF Reece Walling? Are they nursing injuries?

The ACL Brewers didn’t collect their first hit (a Pedro Ibarguen single) until the top of the 5th inning, when they already trailed 4-1. Ibarguen also had the sac fly in the 2nd inning drive in their only run thus far.

…but he’s picked off here after his single.

Chris Roller has walked, been hit by a pitch and flied out. He’s also stolen a base.

[Ro Mueller]

Rivera conceded 3 runs in 3 innings, then handed the rock to 18-year old Venezuelan RHP Ismael Yanez (4.12 ERA with 26 Ks in 19.2 DSL IP last year) who’s making his first stateside appearance.

Final from Monday: ACL Reds 7, ACL Brewers 3

There will be additional details in Tuesday's Link Report (published Wednesday AM)
