Thursday's Birthday:

DSL Brewers Gold catcher Moises Salazar, who we've been Link Report highlighting all season, finally graduates to "age 17" status.

After one MLB appearance and one MILB relief outing, LHP Thomas Pannone (4.01 ERA in 74 AAA IP) re-enters the starting rotation for AAA Nashville, who are seeking a 2-1 home series lead over Indianapolis. C Darrien Miller has a 16-game on-base streak.

23-year old RHP Braylon Owens is coming off 2 solid outings (10 IP, 2 R, 12 Ks), so should be the right man to snap AA Biloxi’s 7-game skid. 1B Andrew Fischer has a .967 OPS over his last 79 PAs.

Low-A Wilson shoot for a 3-0 home series lead over Columbia behind RHP Jarrette Bonet (3 IP, 0 R, 3 Ks in relief last week). LF Kyle Jones is 4-for-10 with 2 RBIs and a stolen base to start his career.

[Ro Mueller]

High-A Wisconsin trot out a strong lineup behind RHP Josh Knoth (11 IP, 3 R, 15 Ks over last 2 games) as they need to avoid an 0-3 series deficit at Cedar Rapids. SS Luis Pena has hit safely in 9 of his last 10 games.

So not sure what happened, I will try to watch later. But Owens gets the first 2 hitters out, then Injury Delay, and Peyton Nicksch is now pitching for Biloxi.  The Biloxi pitching issues of late have been pretty depressing to watch, and now maybe Owens gone. yikes

Nice - Yannic Walther is catching for Wisconsin tonight.  I found out about him today while trying to figure who Sam Hoff (DSL Gold) is.   Both of these guys are from Germany.   Cool stuff.

Owens made a pitch to the 3rd batter of the inning. And after pitching looked uncomfortable after the pitch, then walked around the mound and then a long mound visit.  He was squeezing his hand, and eventually walked off, not sure it was not an obvious "oh he hurt his arm bad" look

[biedergb]

After a difficult start, Jarret Bonet has done well. Gave up 3 runs in the first 2 innings. Walked in a run allowed 2 singles and 2 walks in the 1st. Then walk and double in the 2nd.  So 3 walks, 3 hits allowed before getting an out in the 2nd. But since 1 hit since that double in the 2nd.

And the offense is alive with the Warbirds scoring 9 runs and counting in the bottom of 5 in Wilson
