OF Noah Campbell returns to AAA ball and SS Freddy Zamora plays his first game since exiting early 6 days ago, as AAA Nashville aim for a 2-0 series lead at Memphis. RHP Taylor Clarke (5.34 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, 7/7 K/9 in 30.1 IP) gets the start.

AA Biloxi have won 15 of 23 games and are shooting for a 2-0 home series lead over Mississippi behind 23-year old RHP Bradley Blalock (5.06 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 53.1 IP). CF Carlos D. Rodriguez is 3rd in batting average, 5th in walks in the Southern League.

23-year old Tate Kuehner (2.88 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 in 50 IP) looks to extend High-A Wisconsin’s winning streak to 6 games, which would give them a 2-0 series lead at Beloit. DH/1B Jesus Chirinos is back in the lineup after leaving Sunday’s game early.

19-year old RHP Daniel Corniel (4.40 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 in 57.1 IP) and Low-A Carolina need a win at Down East to tie up the series 1-1. SS Cooper Pratt was selected for the Futures Game; he has a 35-game on-base streak.

Thank you sir for the insight. We truly appreciate it. We look forward to hearing the next moves for Justin as he aims to replicate that 2023 success (2.93 ERA with 54 Ks in 30.2 IP!) elsewhere and at higher levels. Good luck to the pride of Lloydminster and Okotoks!

We’ll see if the Rockies change their mind:

Thanks for this. I guess there's minimal love for Manuel Rodriguez, Gregory Barrios and Juan Baez at the moment.

Brewer Hicklen, Carlos D. Rodriguez and Gregory Barrios combined for 11 hits in wins for Nashville, Biloxi and Wisconsin, with the Timber Rattlers nearly throwing a no-hitter. Carolina fell in extra innings. Transactions: 1B Tyler Black optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Brewers (making room for OF Garrett Mitchell, whose injury rehab concluded) INF Owen Miller (who has been playing for AAA Nashville) designated for assignment LHP Anfernny Reyes reinstated from Low-A Carolina’s 7-day injured list INF/OF Noah Campbell promoted to AAA Nashville from AA Biloxi RHP Will Childers promoted to AA Biloxi from High-A Wisconsin C Andy Yerzy assigned to Development List by AAA Nashville LHP Justin King released by AA Biloxi It’s uncharacteristic of the Brewers to release a flame-throwing 26-year old from AA ball who has 4.5 years of minor league control remaining (Justin King in this instance), but @Cambo888 in the transaction forum assured us that King is healthy and ready for his next opportunity. We can only wish Justin luck and chalk this up to the stateside 165-player minor league roster limit, whose crunch is being felt in light of the MLB Draft this month. Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 6, Memphis 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Dominate Redbirds in Opener RHP Evan McKendry was back in excellent form (5 2/3 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks) and the travelling Sounds’ offense (7th road game in 7 days) woke up by the 5th inning to grab the lead and pull away for the series-opening victory. 1B Tyler Black was raring to go in his return to AAA ball, singling and stealing a base to start the game, ultimately reaching base 4 times in 5 trips (2-for-3, walk, HBP, RBI, SB, run scored). His RBI single gave the Sounds their first lead at 2-1 in the top of the 6th inning, with SS Vinny Capra following with a 3-run double for a 5-1 advantage. Eight Nashville hitters cranked out their 13 hits, including multi-hit days for right fielder Brewer Hicklen (3-for-5, 14th homer of the year to tie the game 1-1, RBI, 25th stolen base of 2024), Black, 2B Yonny Hernandez (2nd homer of 2024) and C Brian Navarreto. Sounds’ Extras: Per the game story, credit the fabulous bullpen work of RHPs Janson Junk, Harold Chirino and Ryan Middendorf: combined 3 1/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 6 Ks. Black did drop a ball at first base to open the bottom of the 5th inning when the game was still tied 1-1, but Navarreto gunned down the baserunner on a steal attempt. Center fielder Joey Wiemer continues to try to work through the new swing (pop out, ground out, 108.3mph line out, K, ground out). Tuesday’s outlook: 31-year old RHP Taylor Clarke needs to bounce back from a shellacking five days ago (8 runs in 4 1/3 IP), as Nashville seeks to double their series lead to 2-0. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 7, Mississippi 5 Box Score and Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Rodriguez's Four-Hit Night Leads Biloxi to Win in Opener against M-Braves The relentless Shuckers came back from 2-0 (1st inning) and 5-4 (6th inning) deficits, pounding out 14 hits to grab the win in front of 1,573 fans in rare Monday action. Enjoy these video highlights from WLOX: LHP Adam Seminaris got the spot start (2 IP, 2 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks), giving the team’s principal innings eaters an extra day of rest amidst 12 games in 12 days, but the Braves grabbed the early 2-0 lead with 2 outs in the first inning. Doubles were the name of the game for the Shuckers’ offense, collecting four within the first 3 innings by center fielder Carlos D. Rodriguez, 1B Zavier Warren, DH Ernesto Martinez and left fielder Lamar Sparks to grab a 4-2 advantage. After RHP Bo Bowman conceded 3 runs on 2 homers to give back the lead, Rodriguez started the rally with another double to lead off the bottom of the 6th inning, scoring on 3B Brock Wilken’s RBI single before Warren drove in Wilken (2-for-4, walk) and C Darrien Miller (1-for-3, 2 walks) for the 7-5 lead. WXXV 25 was also at the game: And there are even more highlights at the Shuckers Twitter account. Shuckers’ Extras: The 23-year old Rodriguez, playing his 177th game for AA Biloxi, further cemented his case for a promotion to AAA Nashville with 2 doubles in a 4-for-5 effort. The bullpen really came through, with LHP Russell Smith and RHPs Sam Carlson, Justin Yeager and Craig Yoho combining on 5 2/3 scoreless innings. Carlson got 2 outs (K, force out) to strand 2 runners inherited from Bowman in the 4th inning and Yeager covered 2 neat innings after rare blow-ups in his last 2 appearances. Tuesday’s outlook: 23-year old RHP Bradley Blalock (5.06 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 53 1/3 IP) is scheduled to start Game Two of the series for Biloxi. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 11, Beloit 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Everything Clicks in Wisconsin’s 11-1 Win at Beloit From the game story, you know this was total domination: “Hitters crack sixteen hits as pitchers take no-hitter into the eighth”. Seven Wisconsin hitters really boosted their stats, with SS Gregory Barrios collecting 4 singles, DH Matt Wood 3 singles and each of 1B Tayden Hall, C Ramon Rodriguez and right fielder Eduarqui Fernandez 2…you guessed it…singles. Yes, 15 of the Rattlers’ 16 hits were singles, but it was 3B Luke Adams (4 RBIs) who annihilated a baseball on a 3-run homer to blow the game open at 5-0 by the 3rd inning. Per @wiguy94 in our minor league daily game forum: “108 EV, 414ft HR to LF”. RHP Patricio Aquino didn’t enter the game until the 4th inning and was handed a 5-0 lead, but was still credited with the Win for his 6 superb innings: 1 R (0 ER), 2 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: It may not all be roses, as it’s unclear why starting LHP Mark Manfredi lasted only 1 2/3 scoreless innings (0 R, 0 H, 3 BB, 2 Ks), exiting after 43 pitches. Is the team expecting him to pitch again on Saturday or was there an injury concern? To be determined… RHP Tyler Wehrle wasn’t fazed by entering in the 2nd inning, retiring all 4 batters he faced, including 2 via strikeout. Tuesday’s outlook: 23-year old LHP Tate Kuehner looks to continue the 8-game run he’s been on (1.62 ERA with 46 Ks over his last 39 IP), as Wisconsin also seeks a 2-0 series lead. Final: Down East 3, Carolina 2 (in 11 innings) Box Score and Game Log Starting 18-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez settled in after conceding two runs on a homer and two doubles early, ultimately covering his now-customary 6 innings: 2 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 6 Ks. Settled in? The young man retired 13 batters in a row to conclude his outing, exiting still down 2-0 at that point. SS Cooper Pratt extended his on-base streak to 35 games with a 1st inning walk, reaching base 3 times in the game (1-for-2, 2 walks, RBI, 2 SB), while right fielder Reece Walling reached via a double and single (2-for-5, RBI), but the team needed one more bat to come through on a frustrating day. Walling led off the 2nd inning with a double, but was stranded, then led off the 7th inning with a single and scored on a ground ball out, but C David Garcia was thrown out trying to get to 3rd base to end that inning still down 2-1. Back-to-back walks to open the 8th inning allowed Pratt to come through with a sacrifice fly to tie it, but the Mudcats last hit of the game was actually Walling’s in the 7th inning. Mudcats’ Extras: RHPs Dikember Sanchez and Morris Austin were both solid in relief, not yielding any earned runs: 4 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 1 K. Down East’s walk-off win came when Austin attempted a 3rd inning of work: walk, game-winning single. The good guys had two runners aboard in each of the 10th and 11th innings (walks by 3B Miguel Briceno and Pratt), but the team went 0-for-13 with runners in scoring position. Ouch! Tuesday’s outlook: 19-year old RHP Daniel Corniel (4.40 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 in 57 1/3 IP) gets the start, as Carolina aims to even this week’s series 1-1. Final: ACL White Sox 10, ACL Brewers 6 (in 7 innings as scheduled) Box Score and Game Log Hey, if you remove the 1st inning, the Arizona Crew actually won this game 6-4. Instead, they drop to 17-25 on the season, with starting 18-year old RHP Ismael Yanez conceding a grand slam, solo homer and walking in a run in that 1st inning. …and he also hit 2 batters. Oh my. In the 2nd frame, 19-year old LHP Anthony Flores completed the rare 4-strikeout inning feat, ultimately producing this line: 3 2/3 IP, 4 R, 5 H, 4 BB, 7 Ks. The game was 10-2 by the 5th inning before the ACL Brewers pushed across 4 runs for a more respectable final score. They’d gotten it to 10-6 with 2-on and 2-out in the bottom of the 6th inning before an inning-ending ground out. As is often the case, 3B Eric Bitonti, C Edgardo Ordonez and 2B Josh Adamczewski powered the offense, combining on a 4-for-9 day with 2 doubles, 3 walks, 3 RBIs and 3 runs scored. SS Tyler Rodriguez also went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and run scored, while 1B Johan Barrios collected 2 singles and a run scored. 22-year old RHP Samuel Valerio threw 2 wild pitches, but settled down to retire 7 of 8 batters faced in a solid performance in the later innings: 2 1/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks. Final: DSL Brewers Uno 5, DSL Pirates Black 0 (in 7 innings as scheduled) Box Score and Game Log Despite the shortened game, 8 of 9 Uno batters reached base via hit or walk, with the team also going 5-for-5 on stolen base attempts to improve its season record to 13-8. Utility man Juan Ortuno (playing left field this game) led the way with 2 singles, an RBI and 2 stolen bases, while 1B Joandrew Pena hit his second career homer – a 2-run shot to push the lead to 5-0 by the 4th inning. SS Luis Pena (1-for-3, SB, run scored) now has 23 stolen bases in 19 games played. Starting 18-year RHP Gabriel Colmenarez made his second start of 2024 after commencing the season on the injured list, retiring all 7 batters faced (1 reached via error), although none were by strikeout. RHPs Ayendy Bravo and Ranwell Smith followed with 5 more scoreless innings, together striking out 8, at which point we have to unfortunately wonder if the opposition was substandard (Pirates Black is 6-14 on the season). We’ll likely know more tomorrow, when the two teams square off again. Game One Final: DSL Brewers Dos 2, DSL Cubs Blue 1 (in 7 innings as scheduled) Box Score and Game Log Game Two Final: DSL Cubs Blue 4, DSL Brewers Dos 0 (in 7 innings as scheduled) Box Score and Game Log 6’5”, 17-year old starting RHP Paul Hoff from Germany was the story of the opening game, retiring 15 of 16 batters faced over 5 scoreless innings: 0 R, 1 H (a single), 0 BB, 0 HBP, 6 Ks. Despite the dominance, it was still a tight game, with 2B Kevin Ereu singling, stealing second base and scoring on a sacrifice fly in the 4th inning, then right fielder Frandy Lafond reaching via infield single, stealing second base and scoring on a 3B Roderick Flores single in the 6th inning. 1B Frederi Montero reached base 3 times: 2 singles, 1 walk. While the Cubs had zero chances with runners in scoring position, Equipo Dos went 1-for-10 in that department, which nearly cost them when the Cubs homered with 2 outs in the final inning, but RHP Johan Zapata got a fly out to end the game and earn his second save. In the second game, the team went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position although the Cubs weren’t much better (2-for-10). 18-year old RHP Wandy Cabrera made his first start in his fifth career outing, conceding one earned run (2 runs in total) on 3 singles and 3 walks in 3 2/3 innings. Offensively, 2B Moises Polanco and C Yoneiker Lugo were the bright spots of the second game, with Polanco doubling and walking while Lugo collected 2 singles. Down 4-0 by the 5th inning, the team loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom half of the frame, but were retired via infield fly, force out to the pitcher and a fly out. SS Jorge Quintana got the $1.7 million signing bonus in January 2024, but struggled on this day: 0-for-8 with 3 strikeouts and one caught stealing. DSL Dos (12-9) host DSL Pirates Gold (14-6) tomorrow. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. It’s back to the “usual” set of seven minor league games on Tuesday.

Low-A Carolina’s SS Cooper Pratt brings his 34-game on-base streak (yes, he should be drinking milk in Wisconsin by now) out to face Rangers’ affiliate Down East. 18-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez has averaged 6.1 IP per start over his last 4 outings.

1B Tyler Black is back atop AAA Nashville’s lineup as they begin the first of 3 games at Cardinals’ affiliate Memphis. RHP Evan McKendry gave up 7 runs in 4.2 innings 5 days ago, so his pitch limit may be a bit limited.

AA Biloxi battles the Mississippi Braves this week, with LHP Adam Seminaris (3.79 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 38 IP) making his 2nd start of 2024 in tonight’s opening game of the series. CF Carlos D. Rodriguez comes in with an 11-game hitting streak.

High-A Wisconsin faces Marlins’ affiliate Beloit this week, with LHP Mark Manfredi (4.04 ERA, 1.41 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 in 49 IP) aiming to bounce back tonight from a rough last outing. SS Gregory Barrios has hit safely in 11 of his last 12 games.

Hard-throwing, 26-year old LHP Justin King went undrafted in 2021, signed in June 2022, skipped Low-A, played in Australia and the Arizona Fall League, rapidly moving all the way up to AA ball this year. As we’re not in the habit of releasing hard-throwing lefties in AA ball with 4.5 years of minor league control remaining, there’s likely something more to this, in my opinion. Let me not speculate. I wish Justin the very best.

I think we dangled Black last year but didn’t find the right deal, but his value may now be LESS than last year - a year older, still no defensive position, no next level offensive achievement (e.g: more power) unlocked. We can probably trade from our 2nd tier of prospects, excluding most pitchers - e.g. Luis Lara, Yophery Rodriguez, Eric Bitonti, Luke Adams, Mike Boeve, Dylan O’Rae, Juan Baez, Wes Clarke, Bishop Letson, Filippo Di Turi.

Maybe it's time to give up on Tyler Black actually mastering a position and just go the Brad Miller route - let Black loose all over the field, demonstrating versatility and athleticism while making mistakes.

Starting 17-year old, 6'5" RHP Paul Hoff (born in Buchholz, Germany) has recorded his 2nd straight "take note" outing for DSL Brewers-2, throwing 5 scoreless innings while allowing only 1 single with zero walks and zero HBPs. The team lead DSL Cubs Blue 2-0 through 6 innings of a 7-inning contest. 3B Roderick Flores has a single, walk, RBI and stolen base thus far, while 2B Kevin Ereu has a single, walk, SB and run scored.

Alexander Cornielle pitched six shutout innings in a tight Wisconsin win and Isaac Collins led a relentless Nashville comeback. Biloxi and Carolina couldn’t muster enough offense in their series finales. For the week, Wisconsin won its series 4 games to 2, while each of Nashville, Biloxi and Carolina earned 3-3 series splits. Transactions: N/A Although it’s not official yet, here’s the plan for OF Garrett Mitchell’s Major League return from his 20 days of rehab work: Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 7, Jacksonville 6 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Win Wild Affair Against Jacksonville in Series Finale Down 4-0 early and in the midst of playing 9 road games in 9 days, left fielder Isaac Collins (3-for-5, 2 doubles, 2 RBIs, SB, 2 runs) and his teammates rose to the occasion nonetheless, tying the contest at 4-4 and 5-5 before grabbing the lead at 7-6 in the 8th inning. Kevin Herget walked two on 24 pitches in the 8th inning to ratchet up the tension, but escaped with a swinging strikeout, setting up a 9th inning against the Jumbo Shrimps’ power-hitting 4-5-6 trio. Herget was up to the challenge, getting strikeouts looking and swinging to sandwich around a hard hit fly out to Collins in left. There were many contributions on this day, with 1B Wes Clarke reaching base 4 times, SS Vinny (Don’t DFA Me) Capra homering, RHP Nolan Blackwood stranding 2 baserunners inherited from Stallings and more to see in the box score. Sounds’ Extras: Starting RHP Garrett Stallings was hit hard, further weakening his case to be considered as MLB starting pitching depth: 1 2/3 IP, 4 R, 5 H, 2 BB, 2 Ks. RHP James Meeker hasn’t appeared as sharp since his MLB call-up, hitting old friend Jonathan Davis on a wild first pitch and walking the next batter on 5 pitches in this one. But he came back to himself to retire the next 6 batters, helped immensely by 2B Yonny Hernandez gunning down a baserunner at home in the 6th inning. Unfortunately, struggling center fielder Joey Wiemer (0-for-3, HBP, 2 Ks) feels like something of an automatic out at the present time, but at least he was dropped to 6th in the lineup. Next week’s outlook: Nashville remains on the road, presumably flying from Jacksonville over to Memphis to battle the Cardinals’ affiliate for 3 games, with inconsistent RHP Evan McKendry (6.49 ERA, 1.37 WHIP, 7.3 K/9 in 43 IP) set to start the series opener on Monday. However, they’ll be back home by Thursday, July 4th to take on the same Memphis squad. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Pensacola 5, Biloxi 1 (in 7 innings) Box Score and Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Martin Smashes First Home Run with Shuckers, Biloxi Falls to Pensacola in Finale After RHP Jacob Misiorowski dominated Pensacola on Tuesday, some of their hitters took a more aggressive approach against him Sunday night, smacking first-pitch home runs in the 1st and 2nd innings for an early 3-0 lead. According to viewers in our daily minor league game forum, Misiorowski (4 R, 5 H, 1 BB) was still hitting 97-100mph, recording 5 strikeouts over just 2 1/3 IP. Perhaps the 2-hour rain delay dampened the Shuckers’ offense, which only produced 4 hits, including SS Casey Martin’s first homer with the team. Their best (only?) chance to get back into the game came and went with a 2-on, 2-out strikeout to end the 6th inning. Shuckers’ Extras: RHP Nick Merkel (2 1/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 BB, 2 HBP, 5 Ks) stranded one runner for Misiorowski and LHP Russell Smith paid the favor forward by stranding two for Merkel. RHP Blake Holub also threw 2 scoreless frames: 2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks. Each of DH/3B Brock Wilken (2 walks) and 1B Ernesto Martinez (single, walk) reached base twice in a game which was shortened to 7 innings due to the delayed start. Next week’s outlook: Biloxi gets to stay home, welcoming the Mississippi Braves for 3 games before the teams jointly head to Pearl, Mississippi to continue from Thursday. LHP Adam Seminaris (3.79 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 38 IP) is slated to start the series opener on Monday, for just his second start in his 13th appearance of 2024. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 2, South Bend 1 Box Score and Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Wisconsin Wins 2-1 Over South Bend We once again thank Wisconsin’s media team for compiling video highlights: And don’t forget to listen to the 21-minute Mehring/Lobner post-game podcast featuring comments from Manager Victor Estevez, RHP Alexander Cornielle and RHP Aarun Rund. Cornielle (6 IP, 0 R, 3 H (all singles), 1 BB, 5 Ks) was back in excellent form, baffling South Bend hitters for six shutout innings. As you’ve seen in the video, he was also helped by line out double plays in the 4th and 6th innings, though one of those erased a defensive error. After the Cubs plated one against RHP Stiven Cruz in the 7th inning, it was up to Rund (2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks) to get six outs to close the game, though normally-reliable SS Gregory Barrios put him into a tricky spot with an error that put the potential game-tying run on 2nd base to open the top of the 9th inning. Watch those Youtube highlights to see how Rund nailed it down. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Center fielder Luis Lara (doubled and scored) and 2B Jadher Areinamo (single, RBI, run) produced all the offense the team needed in the 1st and 4th innings. C Matt Wood (1-for-1, 2 walks) also reached base three times as he continues to notch up his season OPS (now .750). DH/1B Jesus Chirinos exited after lining out in the 2nd inning, so we’ll have to monitor his health status. Next week’s outlook: Wisconsin will head 150 miles south to face Marlins’ affiliate Beloit for 3 games, with LHP Mark Manfredi aiming to bounce back from his worst start (4 IP, 6 R last outing). I really wish I could be in Appleton, where the clubs will play on Thursday. Final: Lynchburg 4, Carolina 2 Box Score and Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details: Dominate Bullpen Effort Leads Lynchburg Past Carolina When throwing a bullpen game, you hope your offense can muster more than just two runs, but Lynchburg’s young catcher Manuel Mejias stifled Carolina’s attempted rallies by throwing out 3 of 4 steal attempts. Of course, we can’t really blame Manager Nick Stanley for the aggressive approach on the basepaths, as the club went 9-for-9 on steal attempts one game prior. Although eight Mudcats reached base via hit or walk in the game, Carolina only had two at-bats with runners in scoring position, with C Satchell Norman singling home DH Miguel Briceno in the 2nd inning and 1B Blayberg Diaz striking out with Norman on third base to end the same frame. Mudcats’ Extras: 2B Filippo Di Turi (2-for-3, walk) was a bright spot for the offense, reaching base 3 times including leading off the 8th inning with a single, before the final six Mudcats were retired in order. RHP Jeferson Figueroa (2 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks) made his second spot start of 2024, giving up two homers and a double as the Mudcats fell behind 3-1 by the 2nd inning. Let’s note the solid relief work of RHPs Jose Nova, Brailin Rodriguez and Aidan Maldonado, who combined to concede just one run: 7 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 5 BB, 5 Ks. While Brailin needs to curtail those walks (3), I won’t begrudge Nova’s two walks given that he’d never exceeded 2 innings in any of his prior 12 games. Next week’s outlook: Carolina takes the short one-hour ride southeast to face Rangers’ affiliate Down East for 3 games, with 18-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez (3.43 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 7.0 K/9 in 65 2/3 IP) scheduled to start the opening game. They’ll be back in Zebulon by Thursday for the 4th of July contest. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. There’s a special FULL Monday slate of minor league games, with 8 scheduled in all, kicking off with 3 games in the Dominican Republic.

22-year old RHP Jacob Misiorowski (3.10 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 in 58 IP) makes his 2nd start of the week, aiming for his 3rd consecutive scoreless outing. A win would give AA Biloxi a 4-2 home series victory over Pensacola. We sat LF Zavier Warren and his 6-game hitting streak yesterday in a 4-2 loss, then choose to bat him 8th today. And we’re sitting OF Carlos D. Rodriguez and his 11-game hitting streak today. Interesting.

And Kevin Herget shut ‘em down! K looking.. Hard hit line out to Collins in left. K swinging. Sounds come back to win 7-6 and even the series at Jacksonville 3-3.
