Final, Game Two: AZL Giants 8, AZL Brewers 2, ten innings (scheduled for seven) Brewers the home team in the makeup game, rallied to score two in their final regular at-bat, to send it to extras. Maryvale Game Two Box Score Yes, it was a disastrous six-run 10th, but hard to fault the pitching overall, as RHP Angel Ventura didn't struggle until his fourth inning of work. RHP Jordan Yamamoto started and tossed three scoreless. Day to forget for OF Carlos Belonis, 0-for-9 with seven K's, 0-for-4 with the golden sombrero in this one. Maryvale Game Two Game Log Three hour, 37 minute nightcap, wow. The tying rally -- AZL Brewers Bottom of the 7th Pitching Change: Reyes Moronta replaces Rayan Hernandez. Juan Ortiz singles on a ground ball to center fielder Brennan Metzger, deflected by shortstop Evan Potter. Leudi Otano strikes out swinging. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-hitter Matt Martin replaces Jonathan Oquendo. Matt Martin hit by pitch. Juan Ortiz to 2nd. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Jorge Quiterio replaces Matt Martin. Daniel Leonardo walks. Juan Ortiz to 3rd. Jorge Quiterio to 2nd. Monte Harrison singles on a line drive to right fielder Julio Pena. Juan Ortiz scores. Jorge Quiterio scores. Daniel Leonardo to 3rd. Pitching Change: Greg Brody replaces Reyes Moronta. Jake Gatewood reaches on a fielder's choice out, pitcher Greg Brody to catcher Rene Melendez. Daniel Leonardo out at home. Monte Harrison to 2nd. Carlos Belonis strikes out swinging.

Final, Game One: AZL Giants 4, AZL Brewers 3 Walkoff loss... Maryvale Box Score Up 3-1 heading to the bottom of the 6th, Brewers give up two to tie, then lose in the final frame in the 7th. Undrafted RHP Joshua Torres lowered his ERA to 2.16 with a strong five-inning start. RHP David Burkhalter gave up the lead, and then LHP Tyler Alexander, who was so strong in Helena last year, continued his 2014 struggles (demoted from Wisconsin to Maryvale), walking three (one intentional) to lose it. Maryvale Game Log Four of Maryvale's six hits went for extra bases, as both Hunter Morris and Troy Stokes doubled and walked. Stokes stole two bases (now 19-for-21 in SB attempts). Monte Harrison stole two as well (now 21-for-22). Catcher Matt Martin tripled.

The Manatees' Blog has an interesting look at Brewers' affiliates history with double-shutout doubleheaders (it's brief!).

Brad was at Tuesday's Timber Rattlers' game, and he has his usual excellent detail-captioned photo gallery.

Via Steve Jarnicki with the Stars -- The Stars enjoyed an off day Monday and now begin a stretch of fifteen consecutive games before the final off day of the regular season on August 27th. All 19 remaining games on the Stars schedule are against teams who are fighting for a second half division title. The Stars are tied with Tennessee and Chattanooga for first place in the 2nd half standings going into tonight. The Stars also have a home series against the Jackson Generals who are 1.5 games outside of first place going into tonight. The Stars travel to Mobile to play the BayBears who are in first in the South standings. The Stars final series of the season is at home against the Mississippi Braves who are one game outside of first place in the Southern League South entering tonight. If the Stars win the second half, they would host games 1 & 2 and if needed, 4 & 5 in the opening round of the playoffs. OF Josh Fellhauer went 1-3 Tuesday with two walks. He has walked six times in his last three games. In 21 games with the Stars, Fellhauer already has nine multiple hit games and has seven outfield assists. SS Yadiel Rivera went 1-3 and homered in his second straight game. He does have home run potential. In 2012 with Low-A Wisconsin he hit 12 home runs. He enters today on a six game hitting streak games since breaking out of his 0-16 skid. In his last 28 games, Rivera is batting .340 (32-94) with two homeruns and 7 RBI.

After just two AA starts, Brewers' unsigned 2012 15th round RHP Buck Farmer (MiLB page / Baseball Reference page) is making his big league Tigers' debut (and we hope beating the Pirates).

From the Daytona News-Journal (link for full article) -- The Manatees had the right pitcher on the mound to start the four-game series. (The teams play a twin bill in Viera on Thursday.) Tyler Wagner came into the contest 11-5 with a 1.76 ERA that was second in the league. He was 3-0 with a 0.82 ERA in four games against Daytona. Wagner (12-5) scattered five hits, walked three, struck out seven and yielded an unearned run in six innings. “I just threw all my pitches aggressively, stayed in the zone and let my offspeed stuff work for me,” said Wagner, who has given up just two earned runs to the Cubs in 28 innings. “I just wanted to help us get out front in this series.”

Rainout in Maryvale, only makeup day would be Wednesday in Scottsdale (doubleheader).

Via the Manatees: Tyler Wagner named FSL Player of the Month for July VIERA, Fla. – Minor League Baseball announced on Monday that Brevard County Manatees right-handed pitcher Tyler Wagner was named the Florida State League Player of the Month for July. In five starts last month, Wagner went 4-0 with a 0.51 ERA (2 ER/35.1 IP), which was the lowest earned run average posted by any qualifying pitcher in all of Advanced-A. His four wins led the Florida State League for July and he was second in the FSL in innings pitched. Wagner struck out 25 men, held opponents to a .153 batting average and posted a 0.71 WHIP. The Las Vegas, Nev. native surrendered zero or one run in all five of his starts and walked just three men total. In game one of a doubleheader on July 17, Wagner threw his first complete game of the season at St. Lucie. He yielded just one run on four hits in seven innings. Wagner was selected by the Brewers in the fourth round of the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Utah.
