Big games for Made and Pena.  5 hits, 3 doubles, and 4 RBI's between the two.

[Ro Mueller]

19-year old RHP Bishop Letson aims to continue a solid 3-game run (13.2 IP. 1 ER, 13 Ks) and lead Low-A Carolina to a 3-2 series lead at Salem. DH/SS Cooper Pratt has a 7-game hitting streak. 

[Ro Mueller]

Biloxi trails their series at Pensacola 3 games to 1, but has 22-year old RHP Logan Henderson (3.71 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 11.6 K/9 in 34 AA IP) ready to turn things around tonight. DH/1B Ernesto Martinez Jr. is on fire: 18-for-30 with 7 XBHs over his last 9 games.

EDIT: CF Carlos D. Rodriguez was a late scratch in favor of Lamar Sparks 

[Ro Mueller]

Nashville can clinch a home series win over Charlotte tonight. 26-year old LHP Aaron Ashby (8.17 ERA in 72,2 AAA IP) will again try to turn the corner on his rough 2024. RF Brewer Hicklen has an 8-game hitting streak.

[LouisEly]

Wiemer has six walks over the last two games and for the month of July has 17 BB to 12 K.

[Ro Mueller]

The High-A Timber Rattlers are tied 2 games to 2 in a tight series at Beloit. 23-year old LHP Tate Kuehner has had scoreless outings in 3 of his last 4 starts. SS Eduardo Garcia has a 9-game hitting streak.

No Arienamo in that line-up this time of year scares me...

He left the game with what looked like an injury the other night. No idea on what the injury could be, but he was pinch ran for by Tayden Hall late in a close game which definitely would make me think it was an injury.

Damn it.  Hopefully nothing serious, love watching that kid play, and they are due back in Appleton Tuesday.

Would it be absurd to think Pena could start 2025 in Carolina? I know he isn't turning 18 until this fall, but my goodness, his performance in the DSL is ridiculous. And only K'ing once every 13-14 PAs, that's the type of stuff you used to see 70-80 years ago (not that I would know😁).

Some positives on the day:

- Logan Henderson dominant as usual
- Biloxi offense: Lamar Sparks - HR, 2 singles; Zavier Warren - HR, 2 walks; Dylan O’Rae - reached base 4 times
- Carolina found its offense late in comeback win: Daniel Guilarte - 2 doubles; Yhoswar Garcia - 3 hits; Luis Castillo - 2 run-scoring hits
- Tate Kuehner K’d 8 in 4 IP (1 ER)
- Tayden Hall: HR, single, walk
- Eduarqui Fernandez - 2-run, 2-out double in Wisconsin’s close win
- RHP Easton McGee threw 51 pitches for AAA Nashville as he ramps up activity. No hard contact versus 12 hitters
- LHP Brian Fitzpatrick played for the first time in 17 days

And some negatives:

- Aaron Ashby - 3 ER in 2.2 IP. Allowed 7 of 15 batters to reach base
- Tyler Woessner - 3 ER in 1 IP for Biloxi. It went double, walk, double, wild pitch before he settled in. Thankfully the Shuckers were up big
- C David Garcia exited after one hitter for Wisconsin. (Maybe Andy Zerzy will need to suit up)
- Yonny Hernandez - 0-for-4, 3 Ks, 2 errors in the field (he’s usually a decent fielder; just a bad day I guess)

I think they have 3 that could skip the ACL next year and head directly to Carolina depending on how they perform in ST and roster availability.

I think we all know who those 3 are.

Bishop Letson.  If he would have gone to college he’s tracking like he would be a first round pick.
