The Nashville Sounds are on the road for a 3-game series at Reds' AAA affiliate Louisville, with 33-year old RHP Marcus Walden on the mound attempting to replicate his last start (6 IP, 1 R, 3 H, 2 BB, 4 Ks). 3B Pablo Reyes returns to action for the first time in a week, still riding a 9-game on-base streak:

The Biloxi Shuckers host Marlins' AA affiliate Pensacola this weekend for a 3-game set, with 24-year old LHP Nick Bennett (5.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 8.1 K/9 in 72 2/3 innings) starting the opening game as he searches for consistency. CF Sal Frelick is looking to continue his hot streak, having hit safely in 8 of his last 9 games (16-for-36 in these games):

The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers aim to end their 4-game losing streak as they host Marlins' High-A affiliate Beloit this weekend. 21-year old RHP Israel Puello (1.29 ERA in his last 28 innings of High-A/Low-A ball) will start the opener. 2B Jose Acosta has hit safely in 6 of his last 7 games (10-for-26 in this stretch):

The Carolina Mudcats start their 3-game series at home against Rangers' Low-A affiliate Down East, with 20-year old RHP Stiven Cruz (3.81 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 10.3 K/9 in 54 1/3 innings) making his 12th start of the season tonight. RF Hendry Mendez comes in with a 10-game hitting streak:

DSL Brewers1 matched the DSL Reds in hits (9 each), but went 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 11 men stranded in their 12-2 blowout loss, falling to 12-20 on the season. The team actually led 2-0 in the 1st inning, but gave up 6 runs in the 2nd inning and failed to get back into the contest. Despite the unsightly scoreline, 18-year old RHP Dikember Sanchez (4 1/3 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 3 Ks; 6.00 season ERA) put up a solid relief effort. Offensively, we can note two singles each from 19-year old OF/IF Luis Watter (.535 season OPS), 17-year old OF Luis Lara (.844 season OPS) and 17-year old INF Jhonny Severino (.778 season OPS). 18-year old C/1B Edgardo Ordonez (single, walk; .860 season OPS) also reached base twice, while 18-year old OF Duncan Garcia had the team's only extra base hit (double, RBI; season OPS .720). Lara exited to start the 9th inning, so we'll have to keep a lookout on his availability.

Tough 4-3 loss for DSL Brewers2 (dropping record to 18-17), which had really pitched well through 8 innings to lead DSL Nationals 3-1. 19-year old RHP Felipe De Los Santos (3 1/3 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 3 BB, 7 Ks; 3.47 season ERA) seems to prefer starting, putting in his 4th solid start in 6 appearances. 18-year old RHP Darling Solano (4 IP, 2R, 2 H, 2 BB, 2 HBP, 6 Ks; 5.57 season ERA) had pitched 4 scoreless innings until the 9th inning collapse. The team failed to retire any of the 4 batters it faced in the bottom of the 9th inning, going HBP, walk, replace pitcher, walk, bases clearing triple. 18-year old 1B/OF Yeison Perez (1-for-4, double, RBI) hit an RBI double to keep up his season OPS (1.073). 17-year old 2B Juan Baez (.769 season OPS), 18-year old SS Demetrio Nadal (.662 season OPS) and 17-year old OF Reminton Batista (.666 season OPS) each reached base twice, while Nadal also stole his 11th base of 2022. 17-year old INF Johan Barrios remains absent since leaving a game early on July 18th.

Eight extra base hits powered ACL Brewers Blue to a victory. ACL Brewers Gold lost big in spite of nine hits. DSL Brewers-1 were stopped by rain in the 3rd inning. DSL Brewers-2 lost a shortened five inning game. All minor league squads return to action on Friday. Eight extra base hits powered ACL Brewers Blue to a victory. ACL Brewers Gold lost big in spite of nine hits. DSL Brewers-1 were stopped by rain in the 3rd inning. DSL Brewers-2 lost a shortened five inning game. All minor league squads return to action on Friday. After having the spotlight to themselves for a few days, the Brewers’ two Dominican short season clubs were joined in action by the two Arizona short season clubs on Thursday. Outfielders Jace Avina and Eduarqui Fernandez (combined 6-for-9, 2 HR, 2 doubles, 3 RBIs) led ACL Brewers Blue to a 9-3 lead, which the squad barely held on to in a 9-8 victory over ACL Athletics. ACL Brewers Gold produced nine hits, but only two runs in a 10-2 loss to ACL Guardians. DSL Brewers-1 raced out to a 6-0 lead in the 1st inning, then conceded 11 unanswered runs before being suspended by rain down 11-6 in the 3rd inning against DSL Tigers-1. DSL Brewers-2’s pitchers struggled for control, issuing eight walks in their five-inning loss to DSL Cardinals by a score of 4-2. Transactions: LHP Jacob Brustoski assigned to ACL Brewers Gold from Low-A Carolina As feared, injured 2B/CF Tyler Black is done for the season, but thankfully should be fine for 2023, per this WTMJ interview with VP of Domestic Scouting Tod Johnson which colleague @Maas_Haas noted Game Action: ARIZONA COMPLEX LEAGUE Final: ACL Brewers Blue 9, ACL Athletics 8 Box Score / Game Log ACL Brewers Blue improves to 13-18 on the season. 19-year-old OF Jace Avina (2-for-4, HR, HBP, RBI) hit his sixth home run of 2022 to tie the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning. His season OPS is up to .991 in 105 plate appearances. 20-year-old OF Eduarqui Fernandez continues to let his bat do the talking, hitting a home run (5th of the year) and two doubles as he went 4-for-5 to raise his season OPS to .852 in 117 plate appearances. The downside remains his 48 strikeouts (vs. 11 walks). He also has four stolen bases this year and hasn’t been caught. Fernandez doubled in a run for a 2-1 lead in the 1st inning, singled and scored in the 3rd inning (4-1 scoreline), hit a solo homer in the 5th inning (6-2 advantage) and doubled again in the 8th inning. 18-year-old SS Daniel Guilarte has been in a mini-slump, but still managed an RBI double in the 8th inning. He went 1-for-5 on the day with three strikeouts, but retains a solid .345 average and .838 OPS on the season. 19-year-old 2B Alexander Perez (1-for-3, triple, RBI; .837 season OPS) tripled in a run in the 4th inning, but departed the game in the 6th inning. Let’s hope this was a planned exit / sharing of playing time, but we’ll have to wait and see when Perez is back in action. 19-year-old starting RHP Jared Albir (5.70 season ERA) struck out six batters as he fought his way through traffic (4 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 6 Ks). Fellow 19-year-old RHP Jesus Rivero (9.19 season ERA) deservedly earned the victory with three shutout innings (3 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 2 HBP, 4 Ks). 24-year-old LHP Leoni De La Cruz managed to earn a save without retiring a batter at the plate. He entered after the Athletics scored five runs in the 9th inning to cut the lead to 9-8 with two outs and the tying run on second base. De La Cruz walked the only batter he faced, but 17-year-old C Felipe Valderrama threw out the lead runner trying to steal third base to the end the game. Final: ACL Guardians 10, ACL Brewers Gold 2 Box Score / Game Log The loss drops ACL Brewers Gold to 15-16 this year. After not yielding an earned run over 15 1/3 innings, 19-year-old RHP Gerson Calzadilla (4 IP, 5 R, 7 H, 2 BB, 1 WP, 2 Ks) ran into trouble with two outs in the 2nd inning, giving up five consecutive hits to fall behind 5-0. The Men in Gold produced nine hits, but hit into two double plays and had a runner thrown out trying to stretch a single. 19-year-old 3B Miguel Briceno continues to enjoy life since his promotion to Arizona, going 3-for-3 with a walk in this game. His 1.056 OPS (32 plate appearances) in Arizona is amazing, but so is his .591 BABIP. He’s 18-for-44 (DSL and ACL) on the season, with 14 singles and 4 doubles. 18-year-old OF Luis Castillo (1-for-3, walk) continues his mini-slump, but still managed to reach base twice to keep solid season numbers: .303 average, .927 OPS. 18-year-old SS Gregory Barrios reached base three times (2-for-3, walk) to raise his season average to .278 and OPS to .668. 18-year-old 2B Jadher Areinamo (0-for-4) had a rare off game, but retains a .324 average and .902 OPS. DOMINICAN SUMMER LEAGUE Suspended: DSL Tigers 11, DSL Brewers1 6 (rain delay in 3rd inning) Box Score / Game Log DSL Brewers-1’s six-run 1st inning lead evaporated quickly as the team yielded 11 runs on nine hits, eight walks and a hit batsman in just 2 1/3 innings of work. The squad now trails 11-6 with one out and a runner on third base. Before the suspension for lightning, OF Duncan Garcia (.755 season OPS) hit a double and walked in his two plate appearances, while C Edgardo Ordonez (.866 season OPS) and DH/OF Luis Lara (.841 season OPS) each grabbed a base hit as they try to regain their early season form. 17-year old C/1B Ludwin Tejada hasn’t gotten much playing time this season, but went 2-for-2 with 2 RBIs here to raise his season OPS to .924 in 35 plate appearances. 19-year old OF/IF Luis Watter has struggled (.555 season OPS), but hit an RBI double, walked and had an outfield assist in this abbreviated contest. Final: DSL Cardinals 4, DSL Brewers2 2 (final in 5 innings) Box Score / Game Log The loss drops DSL Brewers2 to 18-16 in 2022. 18-year-old starting RHP Daurys Mora (2 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 0 BB, 1 HBP, 2 Ks) saw his first action since June 27, pitching two scoreless innings. Relievers issued eight walks in the 3rd and 4th innings as the team fell into a 4-0 hole. However, presumably with rain threatening, the Brewers hit four consecutive singles to start off the bottom of the 5th inning, cutting the deficit to 4-1 with the potential game-tying on first base, nobody out and Mr. Consistent SS Juan Baez up at the plate. Unfortunately, 17-year-old Baez (0-for-3 in this game; .302 season average; 759 season OPS) hit into a ground ball double play and the Cardinals ultimately escaped the inning with a 4-2 advantage. The game was called and declared final in the top of the 6th inning. Neither 18-year-old 1B/OF Yeison Perez (0-for-1, walk; season OPS 1.090) nor 18-year-old C Brayan Oropeza (0-for-2; season OPS .926) managed a hit in this game, but 17-year-old OF Francisco Nina had a nice day (2-for-2; season OPS .747).

SS Juan Baez (.310 season AVG; .777 season OPS; reached base 3 times today) looks like a nice find thus far. He just turned 17 two weeks ago (3rd youngest Brewer position player in the entire system) and has predominantly played shortstop this year.

@Mass Haas picked up two nuggets: - 16th round selection Ethan Lege is not a sure thing to sign, as he'd committed to Mississippi in November 2021: https://www.theadvocate.com/acadiana/sports/high_schools/article_eadbf5ec-07b5-11ed-810c-2f3f40f07efc.html - 15th round pick Satchell Norman intends to sign: https://www.heraldtribune.com/story/sports/2022/07/19/brewers-select-former-sailor-norman-15th-round-mlb-draft/10100976002/

17 Neal (LSU) and 18 Cijntije (Mississippi State) both stated on Twitter that they’ll stick with their college commitments. LSU online fans sound confident that 19 Noot will honor his university commitment, but in contrast 15 Norman is getting a lot of congratulatory messages. VP Domestic Scouting Tod Johnson mentioned how difficult it may be to keep 13 Petty from sticking with Texas Tech. Trying to read the tea leaves, 15 Satchell Norman sounds most likely to sign, while 12 Luke Adams is worth crossing fingers for.

Well, last year the Brewers signed 5 of the 10 late draft picks, not agreeing terms with 3 high schoolers and 2 JUCO-1’s. I assume that means we’re well-placed to sign 11 Wagner, 14 Maldonado (whom we also drafted in 2018), 16 Lege and 20 Hall. Of the remainder, 5 are recent high school graduates who’ve committed to play college ball (but can choose to go pro anyway): 12 Adams (Michigan State), 13 Petty (Texas Tech), 17 Neal (LSU), 18 Cijntije (Mississippi State) and 19 Noot (LSU), while the remaining one is a JUCO-1: 15 Norman. Maybe we’ll get one of the LSU guys to sign. Last year, we drafted two high schoolers who’d committed to Arizona State, one of which signed (Caden Vire).

This was the 6th addition of DSL Brewers-1 vs. DSL Brewers-2 in 2022, with DSL Brewers-1 earning its first victory (4-2 in 7 innings) in this year‘s series. It was also Round 2 of starting pitchers Osbriel Mogollon (1.21 season ERA) vs. Anfernny Reyes (1.10 season ERA) - aka Pity the Hitters. The 18-year old southpaws were solid as always, combining for 8 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 4 H, 5 BB, 3 WP, 10 Ks. Each allowed one earned run and while Mogollon didn’t allow a hit to the outfield, he also threw the three wild pitches and exited down 2-1 on a pair of sacrifice flies. DSL Brewers-1 brought home three runs in the 5th inning to claim the 4-2 lead, which would hold up. SS Jhonny Severino (.787 season OPS) hit his second double of the game to start that rally. 3B Richard Rojas hit the clutch 2-out, 2-run single which gave DSL Brewers-1 a 3-2 lead. The inning also featured two hit batsmen, a wild pitch, walk and a balk. DSL Brewers-2 did put two runners on in the 5th inning and loaded the bases in the 6th inning, but couldn’t get the key hit, going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the game (though DSL Brewers-1 wasn’t much better at 1-for-13). 18-year old LHP Jhofez Mejias inherited that bases loaded, 2-out situation in the 6th inning, inducing a ground out to escape, then retiring the side in the 7th inning to earn his first save.

Two losses for our Dominican clubs today: Squad #1 fell 5-3 and Squad #2 lost 9-7. Big 2022 signing 17-year old 3B Johan Barrios had a triple, double and 3 RBIs, but departed in the 7th inning of a 5-4 contest. Hopefully that was a planned exit / sharing of duties. 18-year old 1B Arnys Rodriguez (.796 season OPS) reached base 3 times (single, walk, HBP) and also stole 3 bases. The switch hitter is the Brewers' 4th-oldest position player in the DSL, so perhaps he could be looking at a move stateside soon. 16-year old RHP Manuel Rodriguez has entered the radar: 4 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 1 H, 1 BB, 4 Ks in today's game. His season ERA is now 3.44 and WHIP is 0.87, although the 13 strikeouts (in 18 1/3 innings) and .212 BABIP should temper our enthusiasm for now.

If I assume a fixed draft date (e.g. July 18th every year) for comparison purposes, then 3rd round selection SS Dylan O'Rae (18.42 years) is Stearns' youngest pick in the first 10 rounds since C Darrien Miller (18.35) in 2019, though still far off his overall youngest selection (Mario Feliciano in 2016 - 17.66). At the other end of the spectrum, 7th round pick 3B Ben Metzinger (23.06 years) is the oldest player taken in the first 10 rounds of Stearns' tenure since Dallas Carroll (Stearns' oldest pick ever - 23.17) in 2017.

The Sounds scored nine unanswered runs in an epic 10-8 comeback win. Biloxi smacked four homers in a comfortable victory. Wisconsin gave up two late leads in a tough defeat. The Mudcats were hit hard in a lopsided loss. Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The Sounds scored nine unanswered runs in an epic 10-8 comeback win. Biloxi smacked four homers in a comfortable victory. Wisconsin gave up two late leads in a tough defeat. The Mudcats were hit hard in a lopsided loss. As I got on a domestic flight, I noted Nashville was trailing 8-1 against Memphis in the 6th inning, while Wisconsin was leading West Michigan 3-1 late in their game. Being something of a pessimist generally, I wasn’t surprised to discover later that the Timber Rattlers had lost that game but was stunned to see that the Sounds mounted a massive comeback to snatch a victory. Tyler White knocked in Nashville’s first and last runs via homers in the 3rd and 8th innings, while Weston Wilson and Brian Navaretto also homered in the come-from-behind win which salvaged a 4-2 series loss for the Sounds. As for Wisconsin, they led 3-1 for most of the game after some fine pitching by James Meeker and Christian Tripp, coupled with a Tristan Peters two-run shot, but coughed up two runs in the 8th inning and a one-run lead in the 10th inning to drop their contest at West Michigan 5-4, resulting in a miserable 5-1 series loss. Biloxi put together a solid game all-around, with TJ Shook and relievers limiting Tennessee to one run on three hits, while Cam Devanney hit two home runs and was joined by Andruw Monasterio and Sal Frelick (who went 4-for-5) in the dinger club. They won 7-1, grabbing the finale in a 4-2 series loss on the week. Carolina needed a win to be the organization’s sole series winner this week, but couldn’t keep up with Delmarva in a 10-4 loss, giving them a 3-3 series split. Jesus Chirinos and Hedbert Perez each homered, as the Mudcats had managed to keep it close until the 8th inning. Sunday’s Game Balls go to the aforementioned White, Frelick, Monasterio, Navaretto and Devanney, with apologies to Peters, Meeker and Wilson, along with a tip of the cap to the Biloxi bullpen (six shutout innings in their win). Transactions: RHP Jason Alexander optioned to AAA Nashville from MLB Milwaukee Game Action: Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Carolina 10, Delmarva 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Mudcats’ website, game details, and we encourage readers to review each of the affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Chirinos and Perez Homer in 10-4 Finale Loss to Delmarva Delmarva was eager to jump on the Mudcats to grab a series 3-3 split, getting two runs on three singles off RHP Jefferson Figueroa (5 IP, 5 R, 4 ER, 8 H, 3 BB, 1 HBP, 8 Ks) in the first two innings for an early 2-0 lead. However, Carolina battled back in the 2nd inning with a 1B Jesus Chirinos (2-for-4, HR, RBI) home run and an RBI single from Jheremy Vargas (1-for-3, walk, RBI) to knot the affair 2-2. In the 3rd inning, three Delmarva hits and the Mudcats’ second error of the game allowed the Shorebirds to take a 5-2 lead, which OF Hedbert Perez (1-for-3, HR, walk, 2 RBIs) sliced into with a 2-run homer in the 5th inning, his 11th dinger of 2022. Perez started in center field for the second straight game, with OF Jackson Chourio away to play in the Futures Game. RHP Miguel Segura (3 IP, 5 R, 4 H, 5 BB, 4 Ks) entered in relief in the 6th inning, conceding a run in the 7th inning on two walks and a single for a 6-4 deficit. A C Jeferson Quero (3-for-5, 2 doubles) single and Perez walk unfortunately produced no runs in the bottom half of the frame, before Delmarva blew open the game with a four-run 8th inning. At least RHP Miguel Guerrero (1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 BB, 0 Ks) pitched a clean final inning. Next week’s outlook: 43-44 Carolina will host 45-41 Down East starting Friday. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes Final: West Michigan 5, Wisconsin 4 Box Score / Game Log Via the Timber Rattlers’ website, details: West Michigan Walks Off Wisconsin in Ten Innings OF Tristan Peters (2-for-5, HR, 2 RBIs) homered on the first pitch he saw in the 1st inning, bringing home Joe Gray Jr. (who’d singled; 2-for-4, walk, RBI, SB) for the early 2-0 lead. RHP James Meeker (4 IP, 1 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 1 WP, 3 Ks) made his 2nd start of 2022 in his 24th appearance, giving up just an RBI double in the 2nd inning as West Michigan kept the game close. 2B Jose Acosta (2-for-4, triple, walk) tripled and scored on a Gray single in the 3rd inning for a 3-1 lead, but the offense squandered most chances from that point onward. Leadoff hit-by-pitches in the 4th and 8th innings, a double and two walks in the 5th inning, a 6th inning single and a single and walk in the 9th inning all resulted in zero runs, giving the Whitecaps ample time to send the game to extra innings. RHP Christian Tripp (2 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 1 BB, 1 K) ably covered the 5th and 6th innings before RHP Robbie Baker also pitched a clean 7th inning. However, Baker ran into trouble in the 8th inning, giving up two singles and a walk, with Manager Joe Ayrault calling on RHP Taylor Floyd to try to escape the two-on, one-out jam in a 3-2 game. Unfortunately, a single tied the game 3-3 before Floyd induced an inning-ending ground ball double play. After the Timber Rattlers failed to score with two-on and one-out in the top of the 9th inning, West Michigan got an infield single to lead off the bottom of the 9th inning. Thankfully, Floyd deftly escaped that jam through a sacrifice bunt and two ground outs. In the 10th inning, Wisconsin regained the lead 4-3 thanks to a Peters single and 1B Wes Clarke sacrifice fly, but the team needed more. Sent out for his 3rd inning of work, Floyd conceded a walk and then a two-run double as West Michigan walked it off 5-4. We should credit the Whitecaps’ defense, as they converted three ground ball double plays, picked off a runner and threw out another Timber Rattler stealing giving them five extra outs in their tight win. Next week’s outlook: 48-38 Wisconsin will return to action on Friday, hosting 39-47 Beloit. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Biloxi 7, Tennessee 1 Box Score / Game Log Via the Shuckers’ website, game details: Biloxi Blasts Four Homers In 7-1 Sunday Win Hitting home runs early and often is a great recipe for victory, which Biloxi enjoyed on Sunday. Although starting RHP TJ Shook (3 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 5 BB, 2 HBPs, 2 Ks) struggled a bit for form (three walks and a two hit-by-pitches in the first two innings), he managed to keep it scoreless, enabling the Shuckers to grab a 3-0 lead in the 3rd inning on an Andruw Monasterio (2-for-4, HR, walk, 2 RBIs) 2-run shot and a Cam Devanney solo homer. Two more walks and an RBI single in the 3rd inning cut the deficit to 3-1, though Shook managed to complete that inning on a fly out and infield line out. But that was all for TJ after 67 pitches (34 strikes), as he handed it off to the bullpen early. By the 4th inning, OF Sal Frelick (4-for-5, HR, RBI) had already collected his third single, though the game remained tight at 3-1. JT Hintzen pitched a scoreless 4th inning, before 3B Cam Devanney (2-for-5, 2 HR, 3 RBIs) hit a two-run blast in the 5th inning for a 5-1 advantage. The Biloxi bullpen show continued with RHPs Kent Hasler, Nash Walters, Zach Vennaro and Robbie Hitt each completing at least one scoreless inning. Vennaro earned his fourth win of the year for his effort, stranding two inherited runners and retiring all four hitters he faced, including three by strikeout. Frelick wasn’t content with just a 3-for-3 day, hitting the first pitch he saw in the 7th inning over the wall in right center field for his 3rd homer of 2022. An RBI double from 1B Thomas Dillard in the 9th inning concluded the scoring at 7-1. Strangely RHP Cam Robinson entered to pitch the 9th inning, but was immediately pulled in favor of Hitt, not registering a pitch in the contest. Let’s hope that Robinson feels better after a few scheduled rest days. Next week’s outlook: 40-45 Biloxi will host a difficult Pensacola (44-38) side as of Friday. Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Nashville 10, Memphis 8 Box Score / Game Log Via the Sounds’ website, game details: Tyler White Leads Sounds to Dramatic Comeback Despite some humbling losses this week and daunting deficits of 5-0 (3rd inning) and 8-1 (6th inning), the Sounds gave 6,739 loyal home fans an epic comeback victory to remember, scoring the final nine runs of the game in this 10-8 thriller. Unfortunately, reliable starting RHP Caleb Boushley was hit hard, giving up five runs on six hits in the third inning. That’s more runs in one inning than the Hortonville-native has yielded in any game this season, to give you a sense of how solid he’s been this year. 1B Tyler White (2-for-4, 2 HR, walk, 4 RBIs) grabbed a run back in the bottom of the 3rd inning, hitting his 12th homer of 2022 on an 0-2 pitch for a 5-1 deficit. Memphis grabbed a 6th run on a homer off RHP Hobie Harris in the 5th inning, then consecutive 6th inning home runs off rehabbing RHP Miguel Sanchez for a sizeable 8-1 advantage. In the bottom of the 6th inning, OF/C Jakson Reetz got the comeback started with a single, before 3B Weston Wilson (2-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs) smacked a two-out, two-run shot. OF Garrett Whitley then walked and C Brian Navaretto (3-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs) hit another two-run, two-out home run to excite the home crowd as the game tightened at 8-5. Consecutive leadoff walks issued by RHP Peter Strzelecki in the 7th inning thankfully produced nothing for Memphis (strike out, fly ball double play to Whitley who caught a runner off first base). DH/OF Tyrone Taylor (3-for-4, SB) then continued the comeback with a leadoff 7th inning single, followed by a White walk. Taylor scored on a 2B Mark Mathias RBI double and White came home on a ground ball out, as the Sounds inched closer at 8-7. RHP Alec Bettinger came in for his first appearance since July 3rd, retiring all three hitters he faced in the 8th inning (two line outs, one fly out). Nashville then put two aboard in the bottom half of the inning, setting the stage for White’s three-run homer to give them their first lead of the game at 10-8. The beautiful golf shot (from one knee!) was on an 0-2 count with two outs. RHP Trevor Kelley pitched a three-up, three-down 9th inning to earn the save, while Bettinger was credited with the win. Next week’s outlook: The 54-35 Sounds will be on the road, facing 36-53 Louisville starting Friday. We hope that you enjoy the Minor League Link Report.
