Tyrone Taylor goes 4-for-5, lifting his line to .272/.322/.309 (22 of 24 hits have been singles, five walks and seven K's in 81 AB's). Taylor was caught stealing (first time in three attempts). Glendale won, 8-6, but their elimination number is down to just 1. RHP Tyler Wagner had to work harder than necessary in his one eventful inning (one unearned run) -- Scottsdale Bottom of the 5th Pitching Change: Tyler Wagner replaces Matt Magill.

Tuesday's Box Score / Game Log Link CF Tyrone Taylor, batting 3rd, is the only Brewer in Tuesday's starting Glendale lineup in Scottsdale. RHP Tyler Wagner is listed as one of the relievers likely to see action. With three games left, elimination number is down to "2" (standings).

Baseball America noted the Brewers released IF Liu Rodriguez, the "player/coach" for Maryvale this past year. It's been confirmed to be a paper move to drop the "player" part - the 38-year-old did not see action on the field in 2014. Rodriguez will continue as a coach in the Brewers organization.

Lots to digest in this Puerto Rico Box Score Was hoping 20-year-old RHP Joshua Torres would follow up his solid debut nicely, and while his 6:1 K:BB ratio Monday night looks great, he was a bit too hittable upon inheriting a very tough 1st and 3rd, no out situation, but notice how he bounced back in the following two innings, and the escape job in the 6th! 3 IP, 5 H, 3 R Santurce Top of the 4th Jordan Lennerton singles on a ground ball to left fielder Geraldo Valentin. With Jonathan Rodriguez batting, Jordan Lennerton advances to 2nd on a balk. With Jonathan Rodriguez batting, wild pitch by Yasmanys Fernandez, Jordan Lennerton to 3rd. Jonathan Rodriguez walks.

Above in the log, you saw two of SS Yadiel Rivera's at-bats against Joshua Torres, Rivera finished 2-for-5 (double, single, run, 2 RBI). 2014 Timber Rattler OF Omar Garcia grounded out in his lone at-bat, now 0-for-4 in limited winter play thus far.

Venezuela Box Score Both Arcia brothers homered, but it was young Orlando Arcia that had the bigger night, as he also singled and walked. Arcia is now tied for the league lead in HR's and is 4th in OPS at .940 while playing stellar defense. Folks, he just turned 20 years old in August! Enjoy this swing, what a bomb to center field --

Dominican Box Score 40-man roster 3B Lucho Jimenez was 2-for-4 with a walk and RBI, now sports an OPS over .900 and only four K's in 38 AB's thus far.

Mike Strong was brought in to get the final out in a bases-loaded jam in the 8th and did so (once again against a right-handed batter), and although he gave up a solo home run in the 9th, earned the save. Mesa Top of the 8th Pitching Change: Jefferson Olacio replaces Parker Bridwell. Jacob Hannemann singles on a line drive to right fielder Steven Moya. Boog Powell grounds into a force out, second baseman Hector Gomez to shortstop Corey Seager. Jacob Hannemann out at 2nd. Boog Powell to 1st. Dalton Pompey walks. Boog Powell to 2nd.

Jacob Hannemann flies out to right fielder Steven Moya. *** Hector Gomez singled in four at bats, Nick Ramirez was 0-for-3 (one K).

Last year Blake Lalli signed with the D-Backs, this year, Matt Pagnozzi does the same. We've updated the initial post in this thread and will continue to do so.
