Final: ACL Brewers 6, ACL Royals 1
Box Score and Game Log

Three pitchers combined on a three-hitter for the A-Crew.

After being a stalwart of the 2024 Carolina Mudcats staff (21 appearances, all starts), January 2022 international signing Daniel Corniel (Venezuela) made all of one three-inning relief appearance for the 2025 Timber Rattlers before landing on the full-season injured list. This was Corniel's second 2026 appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery, each a 1-2-3 single inning effort, with the first on the 19th of this month.

This was also appearance #2 for veteran RHP Gerson Garabito, signed by the Brewers as a minor league free agent with a big-league invite last Christmas. He underwent surgery for a broken bone in his foot in February.

Fantastic bulk relief outing in his 4th appearance for 19-year-old RHP Ma'Kale Holden, the 20th round pick out of an Alabama high school ($410,000 bonus to forgo the University of Alabama), and Holden's game log will show that he's managed to work around 13 free passes (12 BB, 1 HBP) nicely through 17.2 IP thus far.

Maryvale scored thrice in the 4th to grab the lead and effectively win the game at that point. Luis Pena is still in Arizona, and he had an infield single to begin things in the frame. After the KC infield botched a fielder's choice grounder and a Kenny Fenelon stolen base placed runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, things turned shaky when both Cristopher Acosta and CJ Hughes struck out. Three consecutive Brewers then drew walks to plate two runs. 19-year-old LF Engel Paulino lined a single to left (no Statcast readings for this game) to make the score 3-0.

In the 5th, Pena lined a one-out triple to center field (a man among boys at this level, folks). After Fenelon's fly out failed to go deep enough to score Pena, the KC staff assisted again by bringing Pena home on a wild pitch.

Another gift was received in the 6th when a passed ball set up Jonathan Rangel for an RBI line drive single.

Paulino, who signed for a modest $170,000 in January 2024, capped a fine evening with his first HR of 2026 (3rd career blast) in the 9th. He now sports a .740 OPS as a pro in 108 games.

Catcher Luis Corobo has started 11 games between Wilson and now-Maryvale and has been charged with eight errors. His fielding page will show that this was less of an issue in 2025.

Right fielder Alexander Frias' precautionary absence (reported as a rolled ankle) continued on Monday.

The Maryvale boys, now 7-10, host the rival Cubs at 8:00 PM Central Tuesday. The Cublets have struggled to a 5-12 mark thus far.

If you wish, take the timeline of words above and match them up with the score tracker in the lower right best you can, as this game was "televised". And yes, we can at least tell you the Luis Pena 5th inning triple takes place at the 01:45:30 hour/minute mark (you're welcome!). The center fielder initially took a step in, but it would have been over his head regardless, it appears.

The full-season affiliates all begin new series Tuesday, and look at that, no kid-friendly matinees. Guess it's getting closer to final exam season, plus not a lot of field trips scheduled the day after a holiday. Enjoy your day, everyone, thanks for stopping by.
