Congrats to Helena RHP Brandon Moore, named the Pioneer League Pitcher of the Week. In two extended relief outings, Moore tossed six innings of scoreless ball, allowing only four hits, no walks, while fanning five. The 22-year-old Moore was drafted in the 17th round of the 2013 draft out of the University of Arkansas.

No DL stint (yet), but expect Huntsville OF Mitch Haniger to miss about two weeks with a "leg injury" - sorry, no further details on the nature of the injury. Haniger exited his 2nd game back last week after missing six weeks with a hyperextended elbow.

Final: AZL Brewers 12, @AZL Reds 2 Maryvale Box Score Real nice showing here. 19-year-old RHP Miguel Diaz continues to have a really solid debut stateside season - he struck out seven while walking none (one HBP) in five innings of two-run ball. His peripherals here show he may be a candidate to start 2015 in Appleton. After LHP David Carver followed Diaz with a needed strong bounceback two-inning stint, LHP Kodi Medeiros allowed just one hit and one walk in the final two innings. Offensively, the A-Crew whacked four doubles among their 11 hits; 21-year-old catcher Matt Martin of Wake Forest has had a strong season when given the opportunity.

Nick Ramirez then tied the game on a double down the right field line scoring Diaz. Blake Smith (0-4) then came in from the Lookouts bullpen to get the final out of the inning. David Goforth (4-3) who earned the win out of the Stars bullpen, pitched a 1-2-3 eighth. In the bottom of the eighth, the Stars separated themselves from the Lookouts against Smith. With one out, Adam Weisenburger singled. Rivera doubled putting runners at second and third with one out. The Lookouts then brought Daniel Coulombe into the game.

Nick Shaw and Ramirez also had RBI singles in the inning extending the Stars lead to 8-4. Goforth finished the game for the Stars in the ninth by facing just four hitters.

Be sure to watch the video associated with this story at this link Manatees, Brewers lend helping hand John A. Torres, Florida Today It wasn't until the baby was home for a week that his parents noticed something was wrong. Little Mikael seemed in pain whenever he passed a bowel movement. Soon there was blood, lots of it. His young parents, Brevard Manatees pitcher Jorge Lopez and his wife rushed the newborn to the hospital. But doctors found little wrong. "They told us these were just complications from him being born premature," the 21-year-old Lopez said this week from Space Coast Stadium, where he is helping anchor one of the best pitching staffs in the Florida State League. More doctors and two more hospitals followed, including the leading children's hospital in Puerto Rico where Lopez is from. They stayed at the children's hospital for five months as doctors ran batteries of tests to find out what was wrong with the boy. "He was getting sick a lot, and he wasn't gaining any weight. He had bronchitis and pneumonia and was very bad," Lopez said. "Finally we brought him to a hospital in Miami." That's where they discovered that the little boy's intestines had never worked a day in his young life. An unknown autoimmune disease has necessitated an intestinal transplant. "Now we are waiting to see if the transplant is the answer," Lopez said, realizing all too well that he is a key player in a story about faith, baseball, a rare disease and the need for a miracle. The Hand The medical bills and expenses have grown so much that Lopez smiles sadly and says he is on a payment plan. Transporting his sick child and wife from Puerto Rico to Miami costs $8,000 alone. That's where the Manatees are pitching in with the "18 for 18 Charity Golf Tourney" scheduled for Friday, Aug. 8 at Turtle Creek Golf Club in Rockledge. Lopez wears number 18 on his jersey. All proceeds will go to help the young family cover travel and medical expenses, something that causes Lopez to shake his head slowly and somehow keep the tears welling in his eyes from spilling out. "There are no words, no words to express my gratitude for what the Manatees and Brewers have done and are doing for me and my family," Lopez said. "Not everyone does this type of stuff. They have offered me their hand." That "hand," support from family, friends and most of all a deep Christian faith have helped the young couple navigate this last year without falling completely apart. Lopez acknowledges that this ordeal has been very difficult on the young couple. They come from a mountainous region in central Puerto Rico called Cayey, far enough from the bright lights of San Juan to enjoy a humble and peaceful life. But Lopez has a special right arm, so special that the Brewers made him a second-round draft choice in 2011 and he is presently ranked as the club's 19th best prospect despite being in Single A ball. And so home now is whatever hospital his little boy is lying in at the moment. Lopez has been burning up the miles on I-95 in between starts as the club has allowed him to make visits to see Mikael in between starts. "It's hard for me being here but I can't imagine what it is like for (my wife) being there in Miami and dealing with everything on a daily basis. But she is very strong and we both have very strong faith, great faith. God is good." More valuable than Money Somehow, Lopez has been able to pitch the heck out of the baseball despite his son's condition and the constant worrying, travel and mounting medical bills. He's 8-5 with a 3.54 ERA and 73 strikeouts to only 29 walks. He was even selected to pitch recently for the World All-Star Team in the Futures Game during the Major League All-Star break, calling it a great thrill to feel so close to his dream. "I always try to forget about everything when I get to work," he said. "With God's help, I can forget it but it's very difficult. My teammates have helped me very much. They tell me to keep going." His son's smile, as rare as it occurs, also keeps him going. "He is so beautiful to look at," Lopez said. "It's beautiful to look at him when he's smiling and laughing and when he's doing well. But it's rare to see him happy. The medicines he is on right now make him so sleepy. Still, you can see his will to live." If Mikael is going to live, he will need new intestines. He will need Brevard residents to sign up to play golf and raise money for his medical needs. He will need something more, something greater. "The expenses and money is a reality that God has placed in our lives," Lopez said. "But what I value much more than the money being raised are the prayers being offered up for my son — that's what's really important." So, whatever you decide to do — play golf, send a donation, offer up a prayer or simply cheer the tall right-hander when he takes the mound at Space Coast Stadium — do it with a full heart knowing how much his young family needs it. And if you are a believer, then remember a little boy you'll never meet when you kneel down in church today. Because despite being only one year old, he can already use a miracle. http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/ea27c3f254f70c8a258d08f23c0d2eb9c7fbba10/c=0-94-640-576&r=x404&c=534x401/local/-/media/Brevard/2014/07/26/photo2.jpg *** To learn about donation details, contact Kevin Soto ksoto "at" spacecoaststadium.com.

Final: @AZL Reds 9, AZL Brewers 3 Maryvale Box Score Reds scored three in the 2nd, Brewers three in the 3rd, Reds six in the 7th - all other 1/2 innings scoreless. Four of the six runs allowed by RHP Bubba Blau were unearned. Shortstop Jake Gatewood committed one of two Brewer errors in the fateful 6th, but also hit his 2nd pro HR, this one leaving the park, unlike his first. Gatewoord (OPS .455) struck out in his other three trips. LF Troy Stokes singled three times and stole his 14th base in 15 attempts. 2B Daniel Leonardo (.350 OBP, but only one XBH) singled twice and walked. CF Carlos Belonis was caught stealing twice, he's only 9-for-16 in attempts this season. RHP Milton Gomez posted a fringy quality start, but six-inning Arizona League appearances are rare, so kudos there. Maryvale Game Log Review for the key three 1/2 innings mentioned above.

Final: @Chattanooga 10, Huntsville 6 Stars Drop Five Straight Steve Jarnicki, Huntsville Stars Huntsville, AL - The Chattanooga Lookouts raced out to an early lead and never looked back as they defeated the Huntsville Stars 10-6 Saturday at Joe Davis Stadium. The Lookouts lead the Stars 1-0 in their five-game series, as the Stars dropped their fifth straight game. Chattanooga scored a run in each of the first four innings. The Lookouts got a grand slam from Alex Liddi in the top of the first inning against Huntsville starter Drew Gagnon (7-5). The Lookouts also received an RBI single from O'Koyea Dickson in the opening frame giving them a 5-0 lead before the Stars even came to bat. The Lookouts made it 6-0 in the second on Noel Cuevas's solo home run, his seventh of the season. In the top of the third, Chattanooga catcher (and 2006 Huntsville Star) J.C. Boscan singled home Darnell Sweeney extending the Lookouts lead to 7-0. Gagnon, who had his two game winning streak snapped, worked only three innings allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits. He allowed two home runs. The Stars got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the third inning against Chattanooga starter Andres Santiago (3-6). Nick Ramierz hit a two-run single off the first baseman Dickson's glove making it 7-2. The Lookouts posted a pair of runs in the top of the fourth against reliever Kevin Shackelford. Dickson provided an RBI single and Cuevas scored on a wild pitch giving the Lookouts a 9-2 lead. The Lookouts biggest lead of the night came when they had a 10-2 lead after Dickson's RBI double in the sixth. Dickson finished 3-5 with 3 RBI. The Stars attempted to make a comeback by scoring two runs in the bottom of the sixth. Robinzon Diaz doubled scoring Hector Gimenez. Diaz later scored on a passed ball making 10-4.
