Something New Going Forward (Listing the day's Birthday Boy's) -

Happy 27th, Robert Gasser!

[Ro Mueller]

The AA Shuckers can win a 4th straight game and capture the series at Columbus this afternoon behind RHP Manuel Rodriguez (4.74 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 7.8 K/9 in 43.2 IP). 2B Dylan O’Rae leads the Southern League in hits (55) and stolen bases (29).

DH/SS Luis Pena has a 17-game High-A on-base streak dating back to last season. LHP Wande Torres makes his 2nd start of the week (5 IP, 4 R, 6 Ks on Tuesday), as Wisconsin aims to salvage a 4-3 home series loss to Peoria.

[Ro Mueller]

RHP Garrett Stallings (3.72 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 7.2 K/9 in 38.2 IP) and AAA Nashville can polish off a 5-1 series victory at Gwinnett with a Sunday afternoon win. SS Cooper Pratt’s on-base streak is now 20 games.

Literally every day:

Wande Torres is battling (2 R, 4 Ks through 3 IP) and RF Luis Castillo got a pitch he could drive:

Luis Matos barely steps when he swings. Looks kind of effortless - 100.3mph, 401-foot solo homer.

Nashville trails 2-1 early. 

[Ro Mueller]

I feel like this should be gut check time for Wisconsin. They’re too talented to lose 5 of 7 at home to Peoria.

Down 3-2 in the bottom of the 5th in this game, with Fischer and Adamcewski leading off the bottom half.

Wisconsin is now up 4-3 as 3 walks and an Eric Bitonti single produced 2 runs.

Chandler Welch enters for the 6th inning.

Down 3-1 entering the bottom of the 7th inning, Cooper Pratt and Luis Lara delivered back-to-back hard-hit singles to start a 3-run rally. Nashville’s now up 4-3.

[Ro Mueller]

Andrew Fischer’s 15th homer is a solo shot. Wisconsin’s up 5-3.

We enter June tomorrow, which usually sees some promotions mid-month. Gotta figure Fischer will be in Biloxi soon.

Solid close-outs by Craig Yoho and Blake Holub for Nashville (4-3 win) and Chandler Welch for the Timber Rattlers (5-3 victory).

What an awesome Triple-A Ball Club.

Looks like Jared Koenig worked a scoreless fifth inning for the Sounds as well in his second rehab appearance.

15 pitches, 11 for strikes.

About those Sounds…:

RHP Carlos Carra was solid last Sunday (6 IP, 2 R, 8 Ks) and Low-A Wilson need a repeat performance to help salvage a 3-3 series draw at Myrtle Beach. SS Brady Ebel has a 20-game on-base streak.
