Biloxi had the earliest game today, with both offenses producing 2 singles and 0 runs through 4 frames, before Bladimir Restituyo popped the seal on the 9th pitch of his at-bat with 1 out in the top of the 5th. An Ethan Murray single, helpful pitching change, 3 walks and an infield single followed for a 3-0 advantage:
Brandon Woodruff is making his first rehab appearance since June 3, as the AAA Sounds look for a Sunday win at Jacksonville to even this week’s series 3-3. C Jorge Alfaro has 9 hits over his last 5 games.
RHP Bryce Meccage needs to set aside his rough stretch (8.27 ERA in last 20.2 IP) to lead the Low-A Mudcats to a series-clinching win at Delmarva. SS Luis Pena is 12-for-29 with 5 extra-base hits during his 7-game hitting streak.
20-year old LHP Anthony Flores is also making his 2nd start this week (4.1 IP, 4 R, 4 Ks on Tuesday), with High-A Wisconsin needing a win to salvage a 3-3 home series draw against Quad Cities. SS Jadher Areinamo is hitting .397 during his 16-game hitting streak.
RHP Tyson Hardin looks for his 2nd solid start of the week (6 IP, 1 R, 6 Ks in 73 pitches on Tuesday), this time in a victory which would give AA Biloxi a 4-2 series win at Columbus. 3B Zavier Warren has a 7-game hitting streak and Ethan Murray makes his 5th start of 2025 at shortstop.
RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (2.63 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 in 37.2 ACL/Low-A IP) makes his 3rd Low-A start (4th appearance) and Edgardo Ordonez finds himself catching his 4th game in 4 days. Carolina is tied at 2 games apiece in its series at Delmarva.
RHP Jaron DeBerry has been a K-master over his last 3 games (13.2 IP, 5 R, 17 Ks) and looks to lead High-A Wisconsin to a 3-2 home series lead over Quad Cities. DH Hedbert Perez’s 2-homer, 6-RBI game yesterday lifted his season OPS to .806.
C Jeferson Quero (.652 OPS in 70 PAs) is back behind the plate for the first time in 10 days, as AAA Nashville aims for a 3-2 series lead at Jacksonville. RHP Tobias Myers comes in with a 12-inning scoreless streak.
LHP Tate Kuehner (2.85 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 9.8 K/9 in 66.1 IP) and AA Biloxi seek to grab a 3-2 series lead at Columbus. 3B Ethan Murray (.916 OPS in 138 PAs) is back atop the lineup after a day off.
18-year old RHP Carlos Carra is making his 3rd stateside start (9th appearance) for ACL Brewers.
He made it thru 3.2 innings with no hits or walks (2 HBP), but the next 5 Guardians reached base for 4 runs, including a solo homer and bases-clearing double.
Brewers trail 4-3.
It’s the ACL Guardians and their 39-man roster (including 4 rehabbing) against the 25-man ACL Brewers.
Brewers lead 3-0 early but just squandered a bases loaded, nobody out opportunity in the top of the 4th inning.
Biloxi needs to convert the chances they get:
- 1st inning Boeve double and Pratt single with 1-out produce nothing
- 2nd inning Miller and Adam Hall singles give them 2-on, nobody out
CONVERT! - Nope. K, K, groundout
Blake Perkins K’d on 3 pitches to start the game and Josh Maciejewski gave up 3 straight singles and a homer, but one out on the bases (Jared Oliva assist) means it was only a 3-run blast. Nashville trails 3-0.
High-A Wisconsin hosts Quad Cities, but trails this highly-competitive series 2 games to 1. RHP Ryan Birchard (4.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 in 53.1 IP) gets the start and SS Jadher Areinamo looks to extend his hitting streak to 15 games. We hope that Manager Estevez is feeling better.
Also 22 years old, RHP Brett Wichrowski (2.88 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 7.6 K/9 in 34.1 IP) is making his 10th start of 2025, still looking for his first Win of the season. AA Biloxi needs a win at Columbus to even the series 2-2. 3B Zavier Warren has a 5-game hitting streak.
22-year old RHP Travis Smith (3.57 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 6.2 K/9 in 45.1 IP) is making his 14th start for Low-A Carolina, still looking for his first professional Win and a 3-1 series lead at Delmarva. Newly-promoted 18-year old LF Pedro Ibarguen (.876 OPS in 106 ACL PAs) makes his full season affiliate debut.
CF Blake Perkins (after 7 games in the ACL) joins AAA Nashville to advance his rehab, while LHP Josh Maciejewski looks to replicate his last start (4 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 BB, 4 Ks), as the AAA Sounds aim for a 3-1 series lead at Jacksonville.
