Thursday's Birthday:

DSL Brewers Blue RHP Carlos Galindo, a native of Colombia, turns 19 today.

NOTE: Initially today was to be a doubleheader for Wilson, making up a game from earlier this season. However they have scrapped that and cancelled the makeup game.

So, a traditional four-game slate of evening action is on tap tonight.

So that means that Wilson, who’ve lost 8 in a row, need to split their last 4 games (2-2) to hold onto a winning record this season or go 1-3 to finish .500.

AA Biloxi have won back-to-back 1-run home games over Birmingham and send 21-year old RHP Bishop Letson (5 IP, 1 R, 5 Ks last week) to the hill tonight. 1B Andrew Fischer is 9-for-23 with 5 HR and 12 RBIs over his last 7 games.

20-year old RHP Luke Roupe (9.55 ERA, 2.18 WHIP. 7.1 K/9 in 33 IP) gets the start for Low-A Wilson, who’ve dropped 8 consecutive games. CF Kyle Jones’ hitting streak is now 10 games.

INF Trey Ebel (2nd game) and OF Handelfry Encarnacion (5th game) are out of the lineup again.

AAA Nashville are coming off two straight 1-run home victories over Louisville and give RHP Carlos Rodriguez (7.92 ERA in 44.1 IP) a surprise start tonight (Brandon Sproat was expected). C Andrick Nava gets his first game action since August 1.

The High-A Timber Rattlers look to grab a 3-0 series lead at Beloit behind RHP Chandler Welch (also a surprise starter, as Jayden Dubanewicz was expected). CF Sawyer Strosnider has a 13-game on-base streak.

Rylan Mills is cementing his case to start next season at High-A Wisconsin and also join the top 30 prospect list.
