Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic There is now a target date for the professional debut of 18-year-old LHP Frank Cairone, the 68th overall pick out of the 2025 draft. The young man from New Jersey, involved in a serious New Year's Day car accident, thanked his family and friends in his Instagram post nine weeks ago. Cairone is tentatively set to take the mound in Arizona one week from today. Transactions: N/A Nashville Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Gwinnett (Braves) 8, Nashville 5 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Five-Run Sixth Dooms Nashville on Wednesday Night - Jett Williams Produces Half of Sounds Hits with Multi-Hit Night As always, that game summary is must-read. Latching on to positives, if a player was going to have two of the Sounds' four hits, make it Jett Williams - a 102.3 MPH oppo line drive single to right and a 96.2 MPH lined double to left. That Luis Lara rough patch to begin June? A thing of the past - two walks after this first-inning knock: Lara was caught stealing, now 20-for-27, a 74.1 % success rate right on the cusp of being detrimental statistically. Williams was successful once and is 16-for-19 on the basepaths. There may be some extenuating circumstances, but the Jeferson Quero summary paragraph detailing his lack of success in throwing out attempted basestealers is disconcerting. Still a Will Childers fan, the 25-year-old was primed to at minimum make himself a candidate for a 2025 MLB debut or place himself in prime consideration for a pre-Rule 5 40-man spot, but it's been an uneven season for him. Good (and apparently final) rehab outing for Jared Koenig. All it takes is for one bullpen member to be off his game and a contest can fall apart - not a good night for J.B. Bukauskas, his 2nd rough outing in his last three times to the mound. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives - With Andrew Fischer and Josh Adamczewski the latest, why yes, thank you very much Biloxi pre-game media notes Final: Biloxi 8, Montgomery (Rays) 7 Box Score and Game Log As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Shuckers Continue Offensive Masterclass in Montgomery for 8-7 Win - Biloxi’s Bats Shine in Victory Over Biscuits Nice use of "masterclass" there, we don't see that often enough in print. On a night where Blake Burke, Josh Adamczewski and Mike Boeve combined to reach base nine times, it was 28-year-old RF Jacob Hurtubise (a veteran with 66 MLB at-bats) in the nine-hole who stole the show with a 4-for-5 effort, This stat notation was early in the game and only grew from there: Yeah baby, a John Cougar reference (pre-Mellencamp): The more traditional prospect Mr. Burke is featured twice within the Biloxi 'X' feed. As long as we're talking stolen bases today, Adamczewski swiped two and is now 12-for-13 on the season. LHP Jesus Broca didn't allow an earned run; he couldn't quite pick up teammates Hurtubise and Jesús Made after their respective errors in the 6th and 7th. For Made, it was his eighth miscue of the season. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Wisconsin 12, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 6 Box Score and Game Log Home game weekday matinee?

Via the Timber Rattlers, game details: Four Homers & a Strong Start from Knoth Push Wisconsin Past the Kernels - Dinges homers twice in Rattlers fourth straight win Postgame Podcast with Nick Stanley, Josh Knoth, & Marco Dinges Seventeen hits, six of the extra-base variety, plus eight walks, set up a productive 7-for-18 day in RISP situations, with every man in the lineup reaching base, six men driving in runs, and eight men scoring at least one run. Clean defense and a sweet Josh Knoth mound effort - 75 pitches in five innings of one-run ball - made for a fun entry here in Link Report Land. Clearly that Fischer cat and Adamczewski dude were holding the T-Rats back, still undefeated in the second half. Catch up with the latest Wilson pre-game audio interview archives (scroll down on page) - 20-year-old RHP Hayden Robinson the latest interview subject Wilson Pre-Game Media Notes Final: Fredericksburg (Nationals) 9, Wilson 3 Box Score and Game Log Six in Seventh Lift Fredericksburg Over Wilson We'll copy and paste the key summary paragraph - "A strong start from Miqueas Mercedes allowed Wilson (38-33, 2-3 second half) to strike first against Fredericksburg (49-22, 3-2 second half). With Brady Ebel and Juan Ortuño on base in a 0-0 game during the top of the fifth, newly promoted Alexander Frias launched his first Warbird home run to hand Wilson a 3-0 lead." Ebel had opened the 5th by reaching on an error by the Nationals' third baseman. Ortuno lined a sharp single to left. Then... Frias also singled in the 9th, an infield hit deflected by the first baseman. He lined out to right in his first at-bat. Handelfry Encarnacion walked in the first and singled in the 3rd. He was caught stealing in both innings, with the first attempt coming with two outs, sigh. Encarnacion is now 16-for-25 on the season (64% success). In his pro career, he's only 26-for-44 (59.0%). Brady Ebel singled and walked twice. Still 18 years old, Ebel has walked 60 times in 66 games. Final: DSL Brewers Gold 8, DSL Rojos (Reds) 6, seven innings as scheduled Box Score and Game Log The good guys trailed 6-0 after four innings, but even knowing it was a shortened game, the Gold Crew exhibited that Brewers undaunted flair late, scoring multiple runs in each of the final three innings in this road game while punching up zeroes on the mound over those final three frames. As you review the box, place kudos to the three 19-year-old relievers, all repeat guy in the league, for their scoreless work late. Christopher Peralta, in his 3rd season on the island, is indeed Freddy's cousin. No pitch clock, and Gold batters received 15 free passes (14 walks, one HBP), so that's partly why a seven-inning game took three-and-a-half hours to play. Venezuelan catcher Moises Salazar remains a favorite here - double, single, two walks, sacrifice fly. Oh, did we mention he's 16 years old until August 13th? This Brewers system, guys. and gals... Six games on tap Thursday with the DSL Blue squad replacing the Gold guys on the docket. The Maryvale gang returns to action as the four full-season squads join Maryvale in playing under the lights.

Here are the press release contents for Tuesday's Nashville game. This post will be linked to within today's formal Link Report from Ben, which he has already prepared: Brock Wilken, Tyler Black Record First Multi-Slam Game in Sounds History Luis Lara Sets Career-High with Five Hits NASHVILLE - The Nashville Sounds opened the second half of the 2026 season with a 12-5 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers Tuesday night at First Horizon Park. Brock Wilken and Tyler Black each hit a grand slam as the Sounds recorded their first game in franchise history with multiple slams. The 15-hit night at the plate also included a career-high for Brewers no. 5-rated prospect Luis Lara, who went 5-for-5, and notched the first 5-hit game for a Nashville player since 2023. Nashville got on the board in the bottom of the opening frame as back-to-back singles by Jett Williams and Lara put runners at the corners. Black recorded the first of his career-high five RBI on a sac fly that pushed Williams across. Left-hander Thomas Pannone got the start for the Sounds and worked through four frames, stranding five on base. He allowed three hits, walked five and struck out three Stripers hitters along the way. In the bottom of the third inning, the Sounds capitalized on the first of three Stripers errors with a two-out RBI single by Lara, who drove in Eddys Leonard to make it 2-0. In the top of the fifth, the Stripers began to deal damage against Pannone, allowing four runs to score off three hits and a fielder's choice giving Gwinnett the 4-2 lead. Pannone ended his night after pitching to four batters in the inning before Gerson Garabito entered the game in the top of the fifth, allowing a hit and striking out one in two innings of work. Three straight singles to start the bottom of the sixth loaded the bases for Wilken. The Brewers no. 11-rated prospect didn't flinch after falling behind in the count 0-2. He jumped on a middle-middle cutter mistake by Victor Mederos and pushed Nashville back in front 6-4. Leonard followed with a single for the fifth straight hit of the inning before the Stripers finally got their first out of the frame. Lara then doubled home Leonard for his fourth hit of the night to give the Sounds a 3-run lead. Drew Rom made his first relief appearance for the Sounds since June 3 when he entered in the top of the seventh inning. Following a strikeout of the first batter he faced, the southpaw saw three straight Gwinnett batters reach to load the bases. His lone run allowed came via a sacrifice fly to draw Gwinnett within two - the closest they would get the rest of the way. The Sounds blew the game wide open in the bottom of the eighth inning, pushing five runs across for the second time on Tuesday night. Walks for Wilken and Williams sent Lara to the plate who once again loaded the bases with his career-best fifth hit. Black promptly cleared the bases with his second career grand slam as the Sounds jumped out to a 11-5 advantage. Two batters later, Quero put the icing on the cake with a solo shot to center field to match a career-high with his fourth hit. Easton McGee took the reins from Rom for the final four outs of the game and worked around two singles to earn his first save of the season in a seven-run win for Nashville after entering the game when the Sounds were up just two runs in the top of the eighth. The Sounds continue a stretch of 12 games in 13 days at home with game two of the six-game series against Gwinnett on Wednesday night. Right-hander Garrett Stallings (3-3, 3.55 ERA) will get the start for Nashville on Wednesday night with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 pm. POSTGAME NOTES: SLAMMIN SOUNDS: Brock Wilken and Tyler Black combined for a franchise first on Tuesday night. The duo became the first pair of Sounds teammates to hit grand slams in the same game; Nashville entered the night with 135 grand slams in team history. Wilken's grand slam in the bottom of the sixth inning was his fourth career slam and first that wasn't against the Montgomery Biscuits. He recorded a grand slam against Montgomery in three straight seasons while with Double-A Biloxi from 2023-2025. For Black, it was the second career grand slam and first since June 2, 2024, on the road in Memphis. Black is the 22nd Nashville player to record multiple grand slams during their Sounds Tenure, joining Eddys Leonard and Akil Baddoo who each have hit two grand slams for Nashville this season already. The seven home runs hit by the Sounds this season are already the most In any single season in team history, surpassing the six slams the Sounds hit in the 1998 and 2016 seasons. GOT FIVE ON IT: Brewers no. 5-rated prospect Luis Lara set a career-high with five hits on Tuesday night, going 5-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and a run scored. He tied the franchise record for hits in a game and is the first Nashville player to record five hits since Abraham Toro did so on July 21, 2023, vs. Jacksonville. Lara is now one of 17 players to post a five-hit game as a Nashville Sound; and just the 18th time it's been done since the Sounds joined the Pacific Coast League in 1998. Erick Almonte is the only Sounds player to record multiple 5-hit games for the Sounds dating back to 1998 when he did so on August 15, 2010, vs. Salt Lake and again on June 6, 2011, at New Orleans. Lara had six previous 4-hit games during his 466-game minor league career, with his last coming on July 9, 2025, with Double-A Biloxi vs. Birmingham. NO PLACE LIKE HOME: The Sounds opened the second half of the season with a win to improve to 27-9 at home this year. The 27 home wins are tied for the most among all 120 minor league teams along with Double-A Richmond (San Francisco) who are 27-10 this season. The Miami Marlins are 27-17 at home this year and have the most home wins among all 30 Major League clubs. CUATRO QUERO: Brewers no. 7-rated prospect Jeferson Quero tied his career-high with four hits on Tuesday night going 4-for-5 with a home run, triple. RBI, and a run scored. It's just the second time in his 340 career minor league games with four hits. His only other came on May 27, 2025, during a minor league rehab assignment to open the season before joining the Sounds when he went 4-for-5 with a home run, double, and posted four RBI against the ACL Reds. TYLER THE (RUNS) CREATOR: Tyler Black tied his single-game career-high with five RBI on Tuesday night against Gwinnett. It was just his second career game with 5-RBI after also doing so on June 2, 2024, in the only other game of his career with a grand slam. Black joins Luke Adams and Akil Baddoo as Nashville players to record 5+ RBI in a game this season, with all four of 5+ RBI games for Nashville this season coming in the last six games.

Nice job on the questions subbing for Jeff by Max!
