Perhaps lost in all the weekend's news was this update, reported both by Tom at the J-S (text below) and Adam at MLB.com. Gord Ash said the Brewers will lose several minor-leaguers Sept. 1 to the Baseball World Cup in Europe. Second baseman Brett Lawrie, a first-round pick in 2008, will play for Canada, along with relievers Jim Henderson and John Axford and outfielder Adam Stern. Catcher Martin Maldonado and left-hander Efrain Nieves will play for Puerto Rico, and catcher Shawn Zarraga will play for the Netherlands. Ash said those losses come at a bad time because Sept. 1 is when the Brewers can expand their roster with minor-leaguers. "We're going to be scrambling to fill our rosters down there," Ash said. Ash said the only sure thing is that the Brewers will promote a catcher. Last September, Angel Salome saw his first big-league action. In general terms, the implication is, if you're promoting Tim Dillard and/or Chris Smith on September 1st because they're already on the 40-man roster, losing John Axford shorts the Nashville staff by three and you're then scrambling with moves all up and down the chain to backfill. The minor league seasons run through Labor Day the 7th above rookie ball, with the Stars, Manatees (and possibly Sounds) then in the post-season. Nothing the organization can't overcome with some creativity.

Final: Arizona Brewers 14, Arizona Royals 0 Riding momentum from Saturday's walkoff... Arizona Box Score Four pitchers combine on a three-hitter; 20-year-old RHP Jose Oviedo (31st round, 2009) has had a nice summer; RHP Maverick Lasker rocks -- another three innings, one hit and nothing else; 12 hits and nine walks for the Brewer bats, so you'll find some nice production as you peruse the box this AM; ten games remain for the A-Crew...

The DSL kids have only five games left in their season. It looks like, as was the case once before this year, that MiLB.com inadvertently listed their normal Sunday off as active. Their game will likely be played Monday instead.

Rain delays Heckathorn's first start for Brewers By The Independent Record Kyle Heckathorn's first start for the Helena Brewers will have to wait an extra day. The Brewers' 2009 supplemental draft pick was signed on July 25 and scheduled to make his first mound appearance Sunday afternoon in the final game of the series with Orem. But when rain refused to let up and it appeared the game wasn't going to get started by 5:00 PM, the game was postponed. Even with the tarp, Kindrick Field would've been difficult to prepare in time to play and another storm was threatening to move in later in the evening. The contest is slated to be made up on Friday in Orem as part of a doubleheader, with two seven-inning games. The 6-foot-6 Heckathorn will now make his first start for Helena tonight in Ogden, as the Brewers begin a three-game stint against the Raptors. In 13 starts for Kennesaw State University (Georgia), the right-hander was 4-1 with a 3.41 ERA, giving up 33 earned runs on 85 hits in 86.1 innings, while striking out 98 batters. Helena is now 3-8 in the season's second half, sitting in the Pioneer League North basement. Tonight's first pitch in Ogden, Utah, is scheduled for 7:05 PM (8:05 Central). Elisaul Pimentel is likely to start for the Raptors.

Final: Wisconsin 3, Beloit (Twins) 1 Wisconsin Site Game Summary Lawrie & Meadows make a winning combination By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers GRAND CHUTE, WI - Pitching and hitting combined for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday afternoon for a 3-1 win over the Beloit Snappers. Brett Lawrie had three hits, including his thirteenth homer of the season. Daniel Meadows allowed one unearned run over seven innings for his thirteenth win of the year. Brandon Ritchie pitched two scoreless innings to get his third save of the year. Beloit (48-72 overall, 21-29 second half) took advantage of a two-out error to score the first run of the game. James Beresford was at second with two outs and Ramon Santana at the plate in the third inning. Santana hit a grounder to short that was fielded cleanly (by Josh Prince), but the throw to first was poor and Beresford hustled home with the run. Wisconsin (53-66, 19-30) answered with three straight hits and a little hustle of their own in the fourth inning. Lawrie started the frame with a single. Brock Kjeldgaard was at the plate and a pitch skipped by the catcher. Lawrie saw an opportunity and went from first to third on the wild pitch. Kjeldgaard followed with a single to left and the game was tied 1-1. Corey Kemp gave the Rattlers the lead with a double to right-center on the next pitch. Kjeldgaard scored from first without a play and Wisconsin went up 2-1. Meadows pitched seven innings and allowed the one unearned run on six hits. He struck out four and walked one. Lawrie gave the Rattlers a 3-1 lead with a two-out solo homer to left-center in the bottom of the eighth inning. Ritchie struck out a pair of batters in a perfect eighth inning. He gave up a one-out single in the top of the ninth inning, but got a game-ending 6-4-3 double play to nail down the win. The Timber Rattlers and Snappers meet in game three of the series on Monday night. Wily Peralta (4-3, 3.34) is the scheduled starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Brad Tippett (6-5, 2.47) is set to start for the Snappers. Game time on Monday is 7:05 PM.

Lakeland, FL - Today's scheduled Florida State League games between the Lakeland Flying Tigers and the Brevard County Manatees have been cancelled due to heavy rain and wet playing conditions at Joker Marchant Stadium. The two teams resumed yesterday's suspended game with the Manatees leading 5-1 in the top of the second inning. The teams were only able to play until the bottom of the third inning before the heavy rain moved into Marchant Stadium. The games will not be made up. So the entire three-game series in Lakeland was lost. That is officially ten games knocked completely off the schedule this season.

Final: Huntsville 3, Mobile (Diamondbacks) 2 Huntsville Site Game Summary Huntsville Heads Home After Beating BayBears Stars Survive Rain, Late Rally to Fend Off Mobile By Brett Pollock / Huntsville Stars David Welch tossed five scoreless frames, Drew Anderson drove in a pair of runs and Huntsville staved off a late rally to down Mobile 3-2 Sunday night in the last of a five-game set at Hank Aaron Stadium. The Stars snapped a three-game losing streak to improve to 18-31 in the second half and 56-62 overall, while the BayBears slipped to 21-29 in the second half and 58-62 overall. The BayBears claimed the season series ten games to five. Lorenzo Cain legged out an infield hit with one out in the fourth and came in to score the first run of the game when Anderson followed with a double into the alley in left-center field, as he drove in his 50th run of the season. Barry Enright suffered the loss to fall to 8-8 after allowing the lone run on four hits and recording one strikeout over five frames. Jordan Norberto took over for Enright in the sixth inning when play resumed after a 28 minute rain delay and gave up a solo home run to Cain, his second of the series and fourth with the Stars. Huntsville loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh without a hit for Anderson, who followed with a single to plate pinch-hitter Freddy Parejo to make it 3-0 before Shane Justis was thrown out at the plate to end the frame. Welch blanked the BayBears on four hits, while walking one and fanning one. He retired Enright on a fly ball out and Evan Frey on a line drive out to end the home fifth with Bryan Byrne at second base as the rain poured down and stopped play after an hour and 27 minutes. Welch picked up the win to improve to 7-8 on the season and tossed twelve scoreless innings in his two turns at "the Hank." Mike McClendon worked a perfect sixth inning and gave way to Wes Littleton, who stranded two runners in the seventh but gave up a pair of runs in the eighth. Evan Frey singled to start the frame, stole second base, moved to third on a groundout and crossed the plate after a wild pitch. Pedro Ciriaco then legged out an infield hit, moved to second base on a Taylor Green throwing error, stole third and scored on a Ricardo Sosa sacrifice fly to trim the Stars' lead to one. Rob Wooten took over in the ninth and gave up singles to Cyle Hankerd and Byrne before he battled back to fan Chris Rahl and induce pinch-hitter Yunesky Sanchez to bounce into a game-ending double play. Wooten is eight for eight in save chances. The Stars return home Monday night to open a five-game series with first place West Tenn with right-hander Brandon Kintzler taking the mound for the Stars against DJaxx' southpaw Robert Rohrbaugh. Coverage of the game begins at 6:45 PM central time and can be heard through the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com. *** Link while active, text follows: Welch, Huntsville topple BayBears By ARTHUR L. MACK Mobile Press-Register Sports Correspondent Huntsville took advantage of a 28-minute rain delay, a good outing from starter David Welch and a two-hit performance from Lorenzo Cain to beat the Mobile BayBears 3-2 in the series finale at Hank Aaron Stadium on Sunday night. Welch (7-8) went five innings in front of an announced crowd of 2,637. He struck out only one batter, surrendered only four hits and didn't allow a run. Cain had a solo homer and scored two runs, Drew Anderson added two RBIs and Rob Wooten picked up his eighth save. "We needed a win to feel good about ourselves, and we hope to feed off of it," said Huntsville manager Bob Miscik. "Welch's been doing a good job the last two or three outings, and tonight he gave it (the game) to us. As for Cain, he's finally starting to get it, because he's been hurt most of the year. He's been getting some good at-bats, and that's what I like to see." Barry Enright (8-8) took the loss for Mobile, going five innings and allowing only one run and four hits. Bryan Byrne went 3-for-4, while Evan Frey and Pedro Ciriaco scored both of Mobile's runs. Mobile's plan was to have Enright go seven innings at the most, but a brief steady rain forced the grounds crew to place the tarp on the infield. BayBears manager Hector De La Cruz, though, felt that Enright could have stayed on longer. "I didn't think it was right to stop the game, because I think Enright would have been able to go through seven," he said. "That was our plan, but with the delay, I didn't want him to get hurt." Mobile was down 3-0 before getting a pair of runs in the eighth. Frey led off with a single, stole second and advanced to third on Mark Hallberg's grounder before scoring on a wild pitch. Ciriaco followed with a single and went to second on a wild throw into the dugout. He stole third before scoring on Ricardo Sosa's sacrifice fly. The BayBears had an opportunity in the ninth when Cyle Hankerd and Byrne, who represented the winning run, led off with back-to-back singles. But Chris Rahl missed two bunt attempts and struck out, and pinch hitter Yunesky Sanchez hit into a double play. "When you don't execute that play (the bunt attempt), it's tough," said De La Cruz. "We've got to learn to execute the fundamentals, because if you don't, it'll cost you the game. If we had executed the play and Huntsville plays the infield in, anything can go by them."

Jeff Suppan To Make Rehab Start in Nashville Thursday

Nashville Pre-Game Coaches Chat with Manager Don Money Final: Nashville 8, Fresno (Giants) 5 Nashville Site Game Summary: Link for Mat Gamel photo, text follows -- Bowker's Big Night Lifts Fresno Past Sounds NASHVILLE - Left fielder John Bowker belted two home runs and tallied seven RBIs to lead the Fresno Grizzlies to an 8-5 victory over the Nashville Sounds on Sunday evening at historic Greer Stadium. Despite the loss, the first-place Sounds (65-57) maintained their half-game lead over Memphis in the PCL American Conference Northern Division. The victory snapped Fresno's nine-game losing streak to the Sounds, which dated back to the 2007 season. Bowker's seven RBIs in the contest matched the single-game Grizzlies record, previously accomplished by Dante Powell in 1998. Fresno took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning when third baseman Juan Ciriaco and shortstop Jake Wald ripped back-to-back one-out doubles off Sounds starter Tim Dillard. Nashville third baseman Mat Gamel continued his recent hot hitting when he put the home team in front by a 3-1 count with one swing of the bat in the bottom of the frame, slugging an opposite-field three-run homer off Ryan Sadowski that careened off the guitar-shaped scoreboard in left-center. The blast - which also scored Joe Koshansky (walk) and Adam Heether (double) - was the ninth roundtripper of the season for Gamel, who is batting .385 (10-for-26) during his current six-game hitting streak. Bowker put the visitors back in front in the top of the third, 4-3, with a wind-aided three-run homer to left off Dillard, his team-leading 19th longball of the year. Fresno tacked on an insurance run in the seventh when Sounds reliever David Johnson issued a two-out, bases-loaded walk to Bowker, forcing home Matt Downs to increase the lead to 5-3. Catcher Carlos Corporan kept the game close for Nashville with two outstanding blocks of the plate as Sounds outfielders gunned down Fresno baserunners. Center fielder Corey Patterson threw out Clay Timpner at the dish in the fifth and left fielder Adam Stern followed suit in the eighth by throwing out Ciriaco. AUDIO: Carlos Corporan Tag At The Plate Bowker gave Fresno some breathing room in the top of the ninth when he slugged his second homer of the night, a three-run shot to right off Sounds reliever John Axford that extended the lead to 8-3. The Sounds didn't go down without a fight, however, in the home half of the ninth against Fresno reliever Geno Espineli. Brendan Katin legged out a one-out RBI triple to right that plated Heether (3-for-4), who preceded him with his third double of the evening. Corporan followed with a run-scoring single through the right side of the infield. Facing the potential tying run with only one out, Espineli recovered to induce a deep flyout to center from Stern then a game-ending groundout from Patterson to preserve the win. Pinch-hitter Johnny Raburn doubled in the bottom of the seventh for Nashville to extend his longest hitting streak of the season to seven games. Sadowski (6-2) earned the win for Fresno after he allowed three runs on three hits over 5 1/3 innings of work. Dillard (10-6) took the loss for the Sounds after giving up five runs on eight hits over 6 1/3 frames. He fanned a season-high seven batters in the outing. The teams wrap up the four-game set with a 6:00 PM finale on Monday night. Left-hander Chase Wright (7-6, 4.07) will take the hill for the Sounds to face Fresno right-hander Matt Kinney (7-11, 5.59). Nashville Box Score J.J. Hardy 0-for-4 with a throwing error; top three in the order 0-for-14; the only thing left for Adam Heether to do is do the catching gear -- second base here; if he's not rewarded with a 40-man roster spot and a September call-up, there's no justice; RHP John Axford's inning a bummer; Angel Salome's finger must be bothering him...

Thanks for the iPhone effort on a Link Report substitue teacher attempt, colbyjack. Sunday's Link Report should be available by very early afternoon, I realize some of the games begin early today. Cyndi Lauper in concert last night, the 56-year-old was amazing, not Tyler Roberts-amazing, but fantastic.

Final: DSL Brewers / Orioles 7, DSL Cubs #2 Squad 2 DSL Brewers / Orioles Congrats for sqaushing the Cubs, but that last game detailed above is impossible to top; no Brewers pitched; Jhonatan Javier whacked his 17th double; Hitaniel Arias doubled and singled; Andres Martinez (single), Juan Barrini (walk), and Joan Abreu (0-for-5) all saw action... DSL Brewers / Orioles Arias was lifted in the 6th inning, no reason given...

Final: Arizona Brewers 8, Arizona Indians 7, 14 innings Arizona Box Score Wow, what a game! Each team scored five runs in the first, then the Indians led 6-5 after two innings before Tyler Roberts singled in Max Walla to tie it at 6-6 in the 7th; Stosh Wawrzasek pitched four stellar innings late, but looked to be the tough-luck loser when the baby Tribe pushed across an unearned 14th inning run; but Walla and Roberts teamed up again to lead off the bottom of the 14th with back-to-back jack-jackety-jacks for the walk-off win! Kudos to RHP Andrew Dunn, who stranded two of three baserunners to prevent RHP Blake Billings from an even more disastrous start; Billings retired only four of the 13 batters he faced, walking seven; RHP Tyler Cravy and rehabbing LHP Jose Romero were also excellent; the teams combined to steal 11 bases in 12 attempts... By the way, did we tell you 18-year-old Roberts, the LH-hitting catcher drafted in the 10th round this year, reached all seven times up as well as crushing the game-winner (three singles, three walks, and the HR)! Arizona Game Log Tyler Roberts needs to get some love on the major league site or on MiLB.com's home page after that effort; Adam McCalvy will sneak it in tonight http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif Other amazing points in this game: -- Be sure to check the log link for the two five-run first innings -- The Brewers and Jose Romero pitched around a leadoff Indian double in the 10th -- Brandon Sizemore out at home on a fielder's choice in the Brewer 12th -- The Brewers and Stosh Wawrzasek pitched around a leadoff Indian triple in the 13th! INCREDIBLE

Link while active, text follows: Brewers drop third straight By CURT SYNNESS - Helena Independent Record The streak continues for the Orem Owlz, at 10 straight…twice. The Owlz beat the Helena Brewers 9-3 at Kindrick Field Saturday, extending their win streak to 10. It is also their 10th consecutive victory over the Brewers. Orem has not lost to Helena since August 17, 2007. The Owlz are leading the Pioneer League Southern Division second half, with an 11-1 record. The Brewers slide to 3-8 entering the final game of the three-game series this afternoon. The game started out as a pitching duel between Orem's Orangel Arenas and Hiram Burgos. Both hurlers were firing fastballs at over 90 miles per hour, and each took no-hitters into the fourth inning. Orem went ahead 2-0 in the top of the fourth. In the Brewers' half of the inning, Cameron Garfield put the home team on the board with a leadoff home run over the left field fence. The two clubs traded scores in the sixth, Helena's tally coming on Chris Ellington's ninth tater of the season. The Brewers tied things up at 3-all in the bottom of the seventh, as they loaded the bases with no one out. After Sean Halton and Joe Paciorek singled, Mike Roberts worked a base on balls. With one down, shortstop Michael Marseco brought home pinch-runner Edgar Trejo with a sacrifice fly to left, but Paciorek was doubled off between second and third to end the inning. Then the Owlz pulled away late, scoring four in the eighth and two in the ninth. Arenas and Burgos both went six innings, as each hurler struck out five batsmen apiece. Arenas, whose heater was clocked at 94 mph, allowed just three hits. He was relieved by Mike Piazza, who earned the win. Jonathan Pokorny took the loss. One of the best defensive plays of the contest took place in the seventh stanza. Capital City left fielder Ellington fielded Justin Bass' single, and then rifled a seed to catcher Garfield, gunning down Terrell Alliman at the plate, who was trying to score from second. Orem outhit Helena 12-6, led by Carlos Ramirez and Casey Haerther, with two base knocks and two runs batted in apiece. Teammate Kevin Ramos was 2-for-3, with a double and two runs scored. Ellington swung the big stick for the locals, ripping a two-bagger to go along with his homer. NOTE: The home plate umpire for Saturday's game was Roger Craig III. His grandfather, Roger Craig, played 11 years in the major leagues (1955-66), with the Dodgers, Mets, Cardinals, Reds and Phillies. Craig Sr. later managed the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants. Helena Box Score Orem's Mike Piazza is the second cousin of the "other" Mike Piazza; Cutter Dykstra 0-for-4 as the DH, now at .197 with only three extra-base hits (all homers) in 137 Helena AB's (.567 OPS); this sqaud doesn't bode well for Wisconsin's 2010 success, does it?
