  1. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic For the week, Wisconsin (5-1) and Biloxi (4-2) were series winners, while Nashville (3-3) and Wilson (3-3) managed to split their respective series. Transactions: INF/OF Jett Williams activated AAA Nashville’s temporarily inactive list RHP Logan Henderson sent on rehab assignment to AAA Nashville RHP Will Childers transferred to Development List from AAA Nashville (from credible sources) OF Josiah Ragsdale promoted to AA Biloxi from High-A Wisconsin Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Game One Final: Gwinnett (Braves) 8, Nashville 5 Box Score Game Two Final: Nashville 7, Gwinnett 0 Box Score Via a Sounds’ press release, doubleheader details: Sounds Blank Stripers to Secure Series Split The clubs resumed Saturday’s rain-suspended game with the bases loaded and nobody out, with RHP Jake Woodford inheriting that mess and initially doing a beautiful job to limit the damage: K, RBI ground out, 5-3 ground oh no it’s a run-scoring error by 3B Brock Wilken. After that, 7 of the next 10 Gwinnett batters reached base (5 singles, 1 triple, 1 everybody’s safe fielder’s choice) against Woodford (2 IP, 5 R (4 ER), 4 Ks) as they built an 8-0 lead just 1 ½ innings into the contest. From that point, the afternoon and evening belonged entirely to the Sounds, as 9 pitchers combined to toss 14 consecutive scoreless innings, led by rehabbing RHP Logan Henderson who tossed the first 3 innings of the second game of the doubleheader (0 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 7 Ks – 11 batters faced, 50 pitches, 32 strikes). In fact, all 7 of Henderson’s strikeouts are captured here, a fine outing in his first game since May 22. Sounds’ batters did claw back to 8-5 by the 6th inning of Game One, highlighted by C Andrick Nava’s 3-run blast (his first career homer above the High-A minor league level). However, the final 11 Nashville batters of that game went 0-for-10 with 1 walk. 3B Jett Williams (1-for-2, double, 2 walks, RBI, SB) returned to action without missing a beat, leading off the bottom of the 1st inning of Game 2 with a double and scoring on OF Tyler Black’s sacrifice fly, which was already enough scoring for the stout Sounds’ staff. Black (3-for-6, HR, HBP, 4 RBIs across the 2 games) then popped out with the bases loaded and the Sounds leading 3-0 in the 2nd inning, before letting loose with his 342-foot solo homer in the 5th inning and his 2-RBI single in the 7th frame. Back to the dominant pitching, let’s recognize LHP Drew Rom (2 IP, 0 R, 3 Ks), RHP Reiss Knehr (2 IP, 0 R, 1 K), RHP Craig Yoho (2 IP, 0 R, 1 K) and RHP Blake Holub (1 IP, 0 R, 1 K). Sounds’ Extras: Others with relatively productive offensive days: C Darrien Miller making his AAA debut (1-for-3, run scored), 2B Ethan Murray (2-for-6, RBI), OF Luis Lara (1-for-5, double, 3 walks, 2 RBIs). Other relievers with one scoreless inning of relief each: RHP Junior Fernandez, RHP JB Bukauskas, LHP Mark Manfredi, RHP Peter Strzelecki. Next week’s outlook: Nashville remains at home for a 6-game battle against Marlins’ affiliate Jacksonville, with the first game set for Tuesday evening. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Montgomery (Rays) 4, Biloxi 3 Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Homer Happy Shuckers Fall Short in Series Finale Losing while limiting your opponent to two hits may appear like the main story here, but it’s more likely the injury delay and exit of RHP 25-year old RHP Tanner Gillis after issuing a full count walk to open the bottom of the 4th inning with the Shuckers leading 3-0. Pitching on 4 days’ rest, Gillis had held the Biscuits scoreless over 9 innings this week, including 3 innings in this contest (3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 2 Ks). While we don’t have news on the exact nature of Gillis’ exit, we will share when we do. Four of Biloxi’s five hits came before Gillis’ exit, including the homers for 1B Mike Boeve (2-for-4, HR, RBI) and DH Andrew Fischer (1-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs), as well as OF Josh Adamczewski’s double which extended his hitting streak to 10 games. LHP Anthony Flores (1 2/3 IP, 3 R, 2 Ks) retired the first 3 batters he faced in relief of Gillis, but things went awry for him and RHP Ryan Birchard (1 IP, 1 R, 1 K) as they issued 9(!) free passes in the 5th and 6th innings alone (8 BB, 1 HBP). For their part, Biloxi drew zero walks in the entire game, which proved the fundamental difference in this late afternoon contest. RHP Sam Garcia came through in a big way in relief of Birchard, striking out Brayden Taylor with the bases loaded the Biloxi trailing 4-3 in the 7th inning, but 19 of the final 20 Biloxi batters were retired by the solid Montgomery pitching staff (exception: Boeve’s 2-out single in the 9th inning). Shuckers’ Extras: Fireballing RHP Cam Wagoner tossed yet another scoreless inning of relief: 1 IP, 0 R, 0 Ks; 2.21 season ERA. 3B Jheremy Vargas saw his first action in 9 days, though he was one of five Shuckers’ batters who failed to reach base by hit, walk or HBP. The team went 1-for-2 with runners in scoring position, stranding just 2 baserunners (vs. 0-for-8 and 9 LOB for the Biscuits). Next week’s outlook: Biloxi returns home to take on Reds’ affiliate Chattanooga for six games, with the series commencing Tuesday evening. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wisconsin 8, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 4 Box Score Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Bitonti Slams Kernels For our viewing pleasure, Wisconsin’s media team have captured the exciting video highlights, including 1B Eric Bitonti’s walk-off grand slam with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th inning: Chris Mehring and Jonathan Timm 20-minute post-game podcast, featuring walk-off hero Bitonti, RHP Garrett Hodges, 2B Daniel Dickinson and Manager Nick Stanley. As you’ve read, seen and heard, the Timber Rattlers were in control (leading from the 2nd inning) until they weren’t (trailing 4-3 from the 6th inning), then saved the best blast for last for the 4,813-strong home crowd. Starting RHP Braylon Owens (5 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks) was his customary solid self, even on 4 days’ rest, handing the bullpen a 3-2 advantage, but was unfortunately denied his 2nd win of the week when RHP Tanner Perry struggled in relief (1 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 1 BB, 2 Ks). While Bitonti (2-for-5, HR, 4 RBIs) deservedly gets the headlines, there were numerous contributions including solid days for OF Josiah Ragsdale (2-for-3, HR, walk, HBP, 2 RBIs), OF Braylon Payne (2-for-5, double), DH Marco Dinges (2-for-4, double, walk, RBI), 2B Daniel Dickinson (2-for-4, double, RBI, 2 SBs) and winner-of-record RHP Garrett Hodges (2 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks). Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Payne also gunned down a baserunner at home to end the 3rd inning with Wisconsin still leading 3-2, as you’ve seen in the video. SS Luis Pena exited after 6 innings, though there was no indication of any physical setback. 24-year old RHP Yerlin Rodriguez is who he is at this point: 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 wild pitch, 2 strikeouts, 0 runs to keep the game close in the 7th inning. Next week’s outlook: Wisconsin travels down to battle Cardinals’ affiliate Peoria for 6 games, with RHP Josh Knoth expected to start Tuesday’s series opener. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Wilson 10, Fredericksburg (Nationals) 7 Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Big Innings Guide Wilson to Sunday Victory Wilson led wire to wire on the road on Sunday, starting with OF Juan Ortuno’s RBI single just three batters into the contest. Ortuno (2-for-4, double, 2 walks, 3 RBIs) drove home or scored 5 of the team’s 10 runs and also threw out an aggressive baserunner at second base to end the game. The contest was tight at 4-3 until the top of the 6th inning, when five straight Wilson batters reached base with 2 outs, the first four coming aboard without a hit: 3 walks, a 2-run error, then 3B Filippo Di Turi’s 2-run single. 10 hits, 10 walks, 10 runs and 13 left on base for the Warbirds – that’ll generate some solid stat lines – e.g. DH Handelfry Encarnacion (2-for-5, walk, SB), Di Turi (1-for-3, walk, HBP, 2 RBIs, SB), OF Jose Anderson (2-for-5, double, walk), SS Brady Ebel (1-for-3, 3 walks, SB). On the mound, starting LHP Joey Broughton tossed 66 pitches, but only made it through 2 2/3 innings (3 R (2 ER, 2 H, 4 BB, 1 K), with RHP Jarrette Bonet (5 IP, 3 R, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks; 73 pitches) doing the heavy lifting on this Sunday afternoon. Warbirds’ Extras: Ortuno’s RBI double to extend the lead to 9-4 in the top of the 7th inning was apparently too much for the opposing manager to bear, as he was ejected at that point. 18-year old C Kevin Garcia will need to turn the page on this contest: 0-for-5, 2 errors – although he did throw out 1 of 3 attempted basestealers. Anderson’s 2-for-5 game inched his season batting average up to .195 (OPS .732 for the Carolina’s League’s home run leader), so a 2-for-4 game on Tuesday would get him up to .200. Next week’s outlook: Wilson will host White Sox affiliate Kannapolis for six games this week, with the series commencing on Tuesday. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Monday, three rookie level games are scheduled, with the two Dominican Summer League squads playing their respective games at 10:00am CST. ACL Brewers host ACL Cubs at 8:00pm CST. The Milwaukee Brewers also host the Reds at 6:40pm CST.

  2. - INF/OF Jett Williams activated from AAA Nashville’s temporarily inactive list - RHP Logan Henderson sent on rehab assignment to AAA Nashville
  3. After dropping the first game of their Sunday doubleheader to fall behind 3 games to 2 in their home series against Gwinnett, here’s the lineup that AAA Nashville rolled out for the nightcap, including a start for rehabbing RHP Logan Henderson (first outing since May 22) and a AAA debut for C Darrien Miller (.943 OPS in 167 AA PAs).
  4. Eric Bitonti scored the game-tying run in the 8th inning, then walked off Wisconsin’s victory with a grand slam in the 9th!
  5. AAA Nashville and Gwinnett have resumed yesterday’s rain-suspended 0-0 game with the bases loaded and nobody out for the Stripers in the 1st inning. RHP Jake Woodford is the first pitcher of the day, entering to attempt to clean up this inherited mess. This week’s home series is tied 2-2 and they’ll play a second game after this one.
  6. - RHP Will Childers transferred to Development List by AAA Nashville
  7. Jose Anderson started today’s game with a single and double to lift his season average to .198. If he can get a hit in 1 of his next 2 at-bats, he’ll reach .200. C’mon Jose!
  8. RHP Tanner Gillis makes his second start of the week (6 IP, 0 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday) in Montgomery, as AA Biloxi seek to polish off a 5-1 series victory. 1B Mike Boeve has a 17-game on-base streak, CF Jacob Hurtubise 16 games.
  9. High-A Wisconsin look to start a new winning streak and have the right man on the mound and top 5 in the batting order to get the job done. RHP Braylon Owens makes his 2nd home start of the week against Cedar Rapids (5 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks on Tuesday). RF Josiah Ragsdale’s on-base streak is 31 games.
  10. 20-year old LHP Joey Broughton (8 IP, 3 R, 9 Ks in Low-A ball) and Wilson are shooting for a Sunday victory in Fredericksburg to earn a 3-3 series split. DH/OF Handelfry Encarnacion has a 5-game hitting streak and an .801 season OPS with a 57 BB / 65 K ratio.
  11. Transactions: C Darrien Miller promoted to AAA Nashville from AA Biloxi INF Freddy Zamora transferred to Development List from AAA Nashville RHP Kaleb Bowman transferred to Development List from AAA Nashville RHP Jacob Morrison activated from Low-A Wilson’s 7-day injured list OF Nick Monile transferred to Development List from Low-A Wilson There’s also sad news on Griffin Tobias’ status, while former Brewer farmhand RHP Harold Chirino is dealing with an unimaginable loss in Venezuela. Game Action: Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Suspended in 1st inning: Gwinnett at Nashville Box Score Via a Sounds’ press release, suspension details: Sounds, Stripers Suspended Sunday Night Starting RHP Gerson Garabito allowed a single and two walks to the first three batters of the game before the game was suspended for rain. Sunday’s outlook: Nashville and Gwinnett will play a twinbill to decide the fate of this week’s knotted series (2-2), with Manager Rick Sweet having to decide whether to stick with Garabito or go even deeper into Nashville’s bullpen for Game 1. LHP Thomas Pannone is the scheduled starter for Game 2 on 4 days’ rest (4 IP, 4 R, 3 Ks on Tuesday). Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 10, Montgomery (Rays) 3 Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Letson Masterclass, Offensive Firepower Lead Shuckers to Series Win This game was actually tight until the 6th inning, with C Matt Wood throwing out a baserunner to help keep a 4-3 advantage in the 4th inning, then a 3-6-3 ground ball double play (yes, Blake Burke plays legitimately solid defense at first base) eliminating the Biscuits’ leadoff runner in the 5th frame. And of course, Burke (2-for-5, HR, 4 RBIs) also obliterates baseballs, adding his league-leading 18th tally via this 3-run shot in the first inning. After making 7 consecutive outs as a team, SS Jesus Made (3-for-4, triple, walk, SB, 3 runs) opened the 6th inning with a walk and Wood (1-for-4, HR, 3 RBIs) delivered his own 3-run dinger four batters later to blow open the contest. 21-year old starting RHP Bishop Letson polished off his exceptional June with aplomb (7 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 6 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 8 Ks; .93 pitches), while RHP Jack Seppings (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K) faced the minimum over the final 2 innings. OF Mike Boeve’s .279 AVG and .767 OPS are quite respectable. He had a 1-for-3 day with a homer and a sacrifice fly: Shuckers’ Extras: Letson in April: 7.36 ERA, 1.77 WHIP in 14 2/3 IP. In May: 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP in 16 1/3 IP). In June: 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP in 16 IP. His June K% is also up (24.6%), while his June BB% is down (10.1%). Even though Burke and 3B Andrew Fischer both committed their 9th errors of 2026, I stand by my ascertain that the big bombers are solid defensive players. Some veteran options to restore Biloxi’s catching depth include David Garcia (presently in High-A) and Andrick Nava (presently the third string catcher in AAA). Sunday’s outlook: 25-year old RHP Tanner Gillis makes his second start of the week (6 IP, 0 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday), with Biloxi aiming to close out a 5-1 series victory. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Cedar Rapids (Twins) 5, Wisconsin 4 Box Score Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Kernels Stop Rattlers Win Streak with Late Rally Despite the late stumble which ended Wisconsin’s 6-game winning streak, the Timber Rattlers’ fantastic media team has still compiled the video highlights here: That was a detailed YouTube video which included the opposition’s 3-run 8th inning that turned the tide, as well as OF Josiah Ragsdale’s double off the top of the wall to start the attempted 9th inning rally, DH Marco Dinges’ intensity after striking out, OF Braylon Payne’s rocketed groundout and 3B/1B Eric Bitonti’s final swing which might have been a walk-off 2-run homer on most days. Actually, it should have been a game-tying homer for Ragsdale, per Chris Mehring’s linked game report – “Replays showed the ball hitting high off a support post for the left field lofts for what should have been a game-tying home run.” Where’s VAR? Where’s the replay challenge? That report also covers Wisconsin’s difficulties with runners in scoring position and multiple outs on the basepaths. The Timber Rattlers stranded 9 baserunners, while Cedar Rapids only stranded 3 baserunners. Starting RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (5 1/3 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks) was exceptional, retiring the first nine batters faced before conceding a full count walk and an RBI triple to open the 4th inning. That was the only hit conceded by Dubanewicz and I guarantee you that Ragsdale believes he should have made the diving catch in right field (watch the replay again). RHP Chandler Welch (1 IP, 3 R, 1 K) deserved better than to concede three runs, as both singles that preceded the gut-punch homer were of the infield variety. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Each of Ragsdale (1-for-3, double, 2 walks, SB; .952 OPS), Payne (1-for-3, 2 walks, 2 RBIs; .981 OPS) and OF Luis Castillo (0-for-1, 3 walks) reached base 3 times for the good guys. Kudos to RHPs Jose Nova (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks) and Michael Fowler (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks) for their solid relief work. With the recent injury to Nashville's Ramon Rodriguez and the corresponding promotion of Darrien Miller from Biloxi, Dinges (1-for-4, double, walk, RBI; .879 OPS) would be perfectly placed to head to Biloxi if not for the shoulder impingement which has prevented him from catching since May 5. Sunday’s outlook: 23-year-old RHP Braylon Owens is set to make his second start of the week (5 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks on Tuesday), with Wisconsin aiming to close out a 5-1 series victory. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Game One Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 7, Wilson 4 Box Score Game Two Final: Wilson 4, Fredericksburg 3 (in 7 innings) Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Wilson, Fredericksburg Split Doubleheader These teams resumed Friday’s rain-suspended game with the contest tied 1-1 in the 4th inning and Wilson having 2-on, 1-out, with 2B Luis Lameda and 3B Filippo Di Turi immediately delivering a run-scoring single and sacrifice fly to hand RHP Carlos Carra a 3-1 advantage. Carra (4 IP, 6 R, 5 H, 4 BB, 3 Ks; 77 pitches) allowed 2 walks and a run-scoring single in the bottom half of the frame, before the teams raced through the middle innings (16 batters, 16 outs). Unfortunately, Carra tired with 2 outs in the 7th inning, allowing a 2-run homer, then a 3-run blast. The second contest was more enjoyable for the Road Warbirds, welcoming back 6’8” starting RHP Jacob Morrison (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks; 3.12 ERA) from a recent injury (the 20-year-old last pitched on May 30) and having always-stout LHP Jose Meneses (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks; 1.95 ERA) close out the come-from-behind victory. OF Handelfry Encarnacion had three of the team’s seven hits in the win, knocking in the game-tying run and scoring the winning run. He was 4-for-8 with 2 doubles across the two games, while OF Alexander Frias was 3-for-7. Warbirds’ Extras: LHP Enderson Mercado (3 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 6 BB, 5 Ks; 75 pitches) covered the middle innings in the second contest and earned the win despite some control challenges. SS Juan Ortuno (1-for-3, walk, 2 runs) and DH Jadyn Fielder (1-for-2, walk, SB, run) both reached base twice in the victory. RHP Joshua Quezada (1 IP, 1 K) tossed a scoreless inning of relief in the early defeat. Sunday’s outlook: After pitching only one inning in the past 11 days, 20-year LHP Joey Broughton (2.42 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 in 22 1/3 IP) gets the start, with Wilson needing a victory to salvage a 3-3 series tie. Final: ACL Brewers 14, ACL Reds 10 (in 7 innings) Box Score Trailing 8-2 after three innings, recently promoted SS Leonard Rijo (4-for-5, 2 doubles) catalyzed the rally with a leadoff double in the 4th inning, scoring on OF Brailyn Antunez’s 110.9mph RBI single. An inning later, Rijo singled to put runners on the corners with 1 out, trailing 8-4, after which six of the next seven Brewers reached base via walk or hit-by-pitch, with C Jonathan Rangel (1-for-3, triple, 2 walks, RBI) earning a full count RBI walk to grab a 9-8 lead. The onslaught continued with Rijo (102mph) and Antunez (111.4mph) both doubling in the 6th inning, before veteran C Eric Martinez (1-for-3, HR, 2 HBP, 6 RBIs) hit a first pitch grand slam to extend the advantage to 14-8. Antunez matched Rijo’s 4-for-5 day, with a double and 2 RBIs. OF Gerlyn Payano (0-for-1, 3 walks, HBP, RBI) also reached base 4 times, 2B Juan Martinez 3 times (1-for-3, 2 walks, RBI). 18-year-old RHP Diustin Mayorquin earned the win with five innings of relief work (4 R (3 ER), 7 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 2 Ks), retiring the final 4 batters of the game after the Reds had narrowed it to 14-10 with 2 runners on in the penultimate frame. Starting RHP Bryan Regalado struggled this time out (2 IP, 6 R (5 ER), 3 H, 3 BB, 2 HBP, 1 K). The sterling comeback lifted Zona Crew’s season record to 22-20. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 6, DSL Brewers Blue 5 (in 7 innings) Box Score The Golden Men battled back from a 4-1 deficit with five unanswered runs from the 4th to the 6th innings, before holding on in the final frame via OF Ruben Revost gunning down potential game-tying runner Enrique Lovera at home plate on a fly out double play to left field. The victory lifted the Gold team’s record to 8-12, while the Blue Men suffered a second consecutive close defeat to fall to 13-7. SS Ricki Moneys led off the game with a triple, then stole home for a quick 1-0 lead for Brewers Gold, but Brewers Blue responded with its first four batters reaching via hit or walk to claim a 2-1 first inning lead on 2B Leanders’ Matos’ 2-run single. After the Gold team stranded the bases loaded in the 3rd inning, the Blue Men scored on a balk and a OF Frandy Lafond (1-for-3, RBI, SB) single to grow their advantage to 4-1. The Gold comeback came via a run-scoring error, two RBI ground outs, a run-scoring double play and another run-scoring error. 18-year-old RHP Raymond Sarmiento (4 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K) got the deserved win in relief for the Gold squad, facing the minimum from the 4th through the 6th innings before the dramatic final frame. Three other pitchers got in significant work for the combined teams: RHP Jesus Vasquez (4 IP, 5 R (3 ER), 1 K), RHP Adrian Bello (3 IP, 4 R, 2 Ks) and RHP Alejandro Bustamante (3 IP, 1 R, 3 Ks). Moneys (1-for-2, triple, 2 walks, RBI, 3 SBs) had the game’s only extra-base hit, while Lovera (2-for-4, SB) and SS Jose Rodriguez (2-for-4, RBI, SB) delivered multi-hit games. The two catchers each reached base three times: Moises Salazar (0-for-1, 3 walks), Sebastian Franeites (0-for-1, 2 walks, HBP), although they were run ragged on the defensive side: combined 12 stolen bases on the afternoon. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report. On Sunday, five minor league games are on tap, starting with Wilson at 12:35pm CST and Wisconsin at 1:10pm CST. Biloxi’s contest and the first game of Nashville’s doubleheader kick off at about the same time (3:34pm CST). The Milwaukee Brewers also play their rubber match against the Cubs at 1:10pm CST.

Sunday’s outlook: Nashville and Gwinnett will play a twinbill to decide the fate of this week’s knotted series (2-2), with Manager Rick Sweet having to decide whether to stick with Garabito or go even deeper into Nashville’s bullpen for Game 1. LHP Thomas Pannone is the scheduled starter for Game 2 on 4 days’ rest (4 IP, 4 R, 3 Ks on Tuesday). Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 10, Montgomery (Rays) 3 Box Score Via the Shuckers’ website, game details and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Letson Masterclass, Offensive Firepower Lead Shuckers to Series Win This game was actually tight until the 6th inning, with C Matt Wood throwing out a baserunner to help keep a 4-3 advantage in the 4th inning, then a 3-6-3 ground ball double play (yes, Blake Burke plays legitimately solid defense at first base) eliminating the Biscuits’ leadoff runner in the 5th frame. And of course, Burke (2-for-5, HR, 4 RBIs) also obliterates baseballs, adding his league-leading 18th tally via this 3-run shot in the first inning. After making 7 consecutive outs as a team, SS Jesus Made (3-for-4, triple, walk, SB, 3 runs) opened the 6th inning with a walk and Wood (1-for-4, HR, 3 RBIs) delivered his own 3-run dinger four batters later to blow open the contest. 21-year old starting RHP Bishop Letson polished off his exceptional June with aplomb (7 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 6 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 8 Ks; .93 pitches), while RHP Jack Seppings (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 1 K) faced the minimum over the final 2 innings. OF Mike Boeve’s .279 AVG and .767 OPS are quite respectable. He had a 1-for-3 day with a homer and a sacrifice fly: Shuckers’ Extras: Letson in April: 7.36 ERA, 1.77 WHIP in 14 2/3 IP. In May: 4.41 ERA, 1.35 WHIP in 16 1/3 IP). In June: 2.25 ERA, 1.19 WHIP in 16 IP. His June K% is also up (24.6%), while his June BB% is down (10.1%). Even though Burke and 3B Andrew Fischer both committed their 9th errors of 2026, I stand by my ascertain that the big bombers are solid defensive players. Some veteran options to restore Biloxi’s catching depth include David Garcia (presently in High-A) and Andrick Nava (presently the third string catcher in AAA). Sunday’s outlook: 25-year old RHP Tanner Gillis makes his second start of the week (6 IP, 0 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday), with Biloxi aiming to close out a 5-1 series victory. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Cedar Rapids (Twins) 5, Wisconsin 4 Box Score Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, game details: Kernels Stop Rattlers Win Streak with Late Rally Despite the late stumble which ended Wisconsin’s 6-game winning streak, the Timber Rattlers’ fantastic media team has still compiled the video highlights here: That was a detailed YouTube video which included the opposition’s 3-run 8th inning that turned the tide, as well as OF Josiah Ragsdale’s double off the top of the wall to start the attempted 9th inning rally, DH Marco Dinges’ intensity after striking out, OF Braylon Payne’s rocketed groundout and 3B/1B Eric Bitonti’s final swing which might have been a walk-off 2-run homer on most days. Actually, it should have been a game-tying homer for Ragsdale, per Chris Mehring’s linked game report – “Replays showed the ball hitting high off a support post for the left field lofts for what should have been a game-tying home run.” Where’s VAR?

The Timber Rattlers stranded 9 baserunners, while Cedar Rapids only stranded 3 baserunners. Starting RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (5 1/3 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 3 BB, 5 Ks) was exceptional, retiring the first nine batters faced before conceding a full count walk and an RBI triple to open the 4th inning. That was the only hit conceded by Dubanewicz and I guarantee you that Ragsdale believes he should have made the diving catch in right field (watch the replay again). RHP Chandler Welch (1 IP, 3 R, 1 K) deserved better than to concede three runs, as both singles that preceded the gut-punch homer were of the infield variety. Timber Rattlers’ Extras: Each of Ragsdale (1-for-3, double, 2 walks, SB; .952 OPS), Payne (1-for-3, 2 walks, 2 RBIs; .981 OPS) and OF Luis Castillo (0-for-1, 3 walks) reached base 3 times for the good guys. Kudos to RHPs Jose Nova (1 2/3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 3 Ks) and Michael Fowler (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks) for their solid relief work. With the recent injury to Nashville's Ramon Rodriguez and the corresponding promotion of Darrien Miller from Biloxi, Dinges (1-for-4, double, walk, RBI; .879 OPS) would be perfectly placed to head to Biloxi if not for the shoulder impingement which has prevented him from catching since May 5. Sunday’s outlook: 23-year-old RHP Braylon Owens is set to make his second start of the week (5 IP, 0 R, 8 Ks on Tuesday), with Wisconsin aiming to close out a 5-1 series victory. Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Game One Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 7, Wilson 4 Box Score Game Two Final: Wilson 4, Fredericksburg 3 (in 7 innings) Box Score Via the Warbirds’ website, game details: Wilson, Fredericksburg Split Doubleheader These teams resumed Friday’s rain-suspended game with the contest tied 1-1 in the 4th inning and Wilson having 2-on, 1-out, with 2B Luis Lameda and 3B Filippo Di Turi immediately delivering a run-scoring single and sacrifice fly to hand RHP Carlos Carra a 3-1 advantage. Carra (4 IP, 6 R, 5 H, 4 BB, 3 Ks; 77 pitches) allowed 2 walks and a run-scoring single in the bottom half of the frame, before the teams raced through the middle innings (16 batters, 16 outs). Unfortunately, Carra tired with 2 outs in the 7th inning, allowing a 2-run homer, then a 3-run blast. The second contest was more enjoyable for the Road Warbirds, welcoming back 6’8” starting RHP Jacob Morrison (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 2 BB, 3 Ks; 3.12 ERA) from a recent injury (the 20-year-old last pitched on May 30) and having always-stout LHP Jose Meneses (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks; 1.95 ERA) close out the come-from-behind victory. OF Handelfry Encarnacion had three of the team’s seven hits in the win, knocking in the game-tying run and scoring the winning run. He was 4-for-8 with 2 doubles across the two games, while OF Alexander Frias was 3-for-7. Warbirds’ Extras: LHP Enderson Mercado (3 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 6 BB, 5 Ks; 75 pitches) covered the middle innings in the second contest and earned the win despite some control challenges. SS Juan Ortuno (1-for-3, walk, 2 runs) and DH Jadyn Fielder (1-for-2, walk, SB, run) both reached base twice in the victory. RHP Joshua Quezada (1 IP, 1 K) tossed a scoreless inning of relief in the early defeat. Sunday’s outlook: After pitching only one inning in the past 11 days, 20-year LHP Joey Broughton (2.42 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 10.9 K/9 in 22 1/3 IP) gets the start, with Wilson needing a victory to salvage a 3-3 series tie. Final: ACL Brewers 14, ACL Reds 10 (in 7 innings) Box Score Trailing 8-2 after three innings, recently promoted SS Leonard Rijo (4-for-5, 2 doubles) catalyzed the rally with a leadoff double in the 4th inning, scoring on OF Brailyn Antunez’s 110.9mph RBI single. An inning later, Rijo singled to put runners on the corners with 1 out, trailing 8-4, after which six of the next seven Brewers reached base via walk or hit-by-pitch, with C Jonathan Rangel (1-for-3, triple, 2 walks, RBI) earning a full count RBI walk to grab a 9-8 lead. The onslaught continued with Rijo (102mph) and Antunez (111.4mph) both doubling in the 6th inning, before veteran C Eric Martinez (1-for-3, HR, 2 HBP, 6 RBIs) hit a first pitch grand slam to extend the advantage to 14-8. Antunez matched Rijo’s 4-for-5 day, with a double and 2 RBIs. OF Gerlyn Payano (0-for-1, 3 walks, HBP, RBI) also reached base 4 times, 2B Juan Martinez 3 times (1-for-3, 2 walks, RBI). 18-year-old RHP Diustin Mayorquin earned the win with five innings of relief work (4 R (3 ER), 7 H, 2 BB, 1 HBP, 2 Ks), retiring the final 4 batters of the game after the Reds had narrowed it to 14-10 with 2 runners on in the penultimate frame. Starting RHP Bryan Regalado struggled this time out (2 IP, 6 R (5 ER), 3 H, 3 BB, 2 HBP, 1 K). The sterling comeback lifted Zona Crew’s season record to 22-20. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 6, DSL Brewers Blue 5 (in 7 innings) Box Score The Golden Men battled back from a 4-1 deficit with five unanswered runs from the 4th to the 6th innings, before holding on in the final frame via OF Ruben Revost gunning down potential game-tying runner Enrique Lovera at home plate on a fly out double play to left field. The victory lifted the Gold team’s record to 8-12, while the Blue Men suffered a second consecutive close defeat to fall to 13-7. SS Ricki Moneys led off the game with a triple, then stole home for a quick 1-0 lead for Brewers Gold, but Brewers Blue responded with its first four batters reaching via hit or walk to claim a 2-1 first inning lead on 2B Leanders’ Matos’ 2-run single. After the Gold team stranded the bases loaded in the 3rd inning, the Blue Men scored on a balk and a OF Frandy Lafond (1-for-3, RBI, SB) single to grow their advantage to 4-1. The Gold comeback came via a run-scoring error, two RBI ground outs, a run-scoring double play and another run-scoring error. 18-year-old RHP Raymond Sarmiento (4 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 2 BB, 1 K) got the deserved win in relief for the Gold squad, facing the minimum from the 4th through the 6th innings before the dramatic final frame. Three other pitchers got in significant work for the combined teams: RHP Jesus Vasquez (4 IP, 5 R (3 ER), 1 K), RHP Adrian Bello (3 IP, 4 R, 2 Ks) and RHP Alejandro Bustamante (3 IP, 1 R, 3 Ks). Moneys (1-for-2, triple, 2 walks, RBI, 3 SBs) had the game’s only extra-base hit, while Lovera (2-for-4, SB) and SS Jose Rodriguez (2-for-4, RBI, SB) delivered multi-hit games. The two catchers each reached base three times: Moises Salazar (0-for-1, 3 walks), Sebastian Franeites (0-for-1, 2 walks, HBP), although they were run ragged on the defensive side: combined 12 stolen bases on the afternoon.
