After 31 straight games as a DH, 23-year old Jeferson Quero (.741 OPS in 399 PAs) starts at catcher for AAA Nashville, who seek a 3-2 home series lead over Indianapolis. RHP Brandon Sproat makes his 2nd start since being optioned (4 IP, 6 R, 5 Ks last outing).

CF Braylon Payne (.930 OPS In 357 PAs) turned 20 years old yesterday and makes his AA debut today, as Biloxi need a home win over Pensacola to prevent a 10-game losing streak. RHP Bishop Letson (4.60 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 8.8 K/9 in 72.1 IP) makes his 18th start.

Did I miss something on Adamczewski? Not in the line up for the 2nd or 3rd time in a row?

And Biloxi line up looks good (missing Adamczewski, Dinges and obviously Burke and Ragsdale) but hopefully the offense can get it going since the pitching cannot be trusted,

‘And let’s hope Sproat can find something during his AAA time - his demotion game 1 was not so good.

18-year old RHP Diustin Mayorquin is off to a solid start in Low-A ball (19 IP, 3 R, 10 Ks) and leads Wilson as they strive for a 5th straight home win over Columbia. SS Brady Ebel leads the team in hits, walks, RBIs, SBs, runs and triples.

Yeah looks like him and Dinges are both banged up. Not sure what the injuries are though.

21-year old LHP Wande Torres has been in solid form (2.72 ERA with 56 Ks in last 46.1 IP) and leads High-A Wisconsin at Cedar Rapids tonight. 1B Tayden Hall has been lighting it up in August (1.079 OPS in 49 PAs).
