Burns down, Swindle up J-S link. Carlos Villanueva the long man now by default? If Tim Dillard is in the rotation, there really is no one else fitting the bill.

Final: Great Falls (White Sox) 5, Helena 3 Helena Box Score RHP Ben Jeffers took the loss after a quality outing by Nick Bucci, who has spoiled us with spectacular work, making six innings, three runs seem mundane; CF Chad Stang a home run shy of the cycle -- the problem was, batting 9th, he never got a 4th at-bat; 3B Kyle Dhanani also reached three times, but the upper half of the lineup was uncharacteristically silent...

Final: Oklahoma City (Rangers) 11, Nashville 1 Nashville Site Game Summary: Link for Jason Bourgeois photo, text follows -- RedHawks Blast Sounds, 11-1 OKLAHOMA CITY - The Nashville Sounds fell to the Oklahoma City RedHawks, 11-1, on Sunday evening at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark. The first-place Sounds (55-46) have dropped four of their last five games on their road trip. Oklahoma City sent ten batters to the plate in the bottom of the third inning to grab a 6-0 lead against Sounds starter Chris Cody. Jose Vallejo highlighted the frame's scoring with a two-out, bases-loaded triple. Cody (4-6), starting on three days' rest for the Sounds, took the loss after allowing six runs on eight hits in only three innings of work. Nick Green took over on the hill for Nashville in the fourth and gave up a pair of runs in his first frame of action, allowing RBI singles by Esteban German and Chris Davis. The Sounds plated their lone run in the top of the fifth when Jason Bourgeois drove in Erick Almonte with an RBI single, but Oklahoma City answered with a three-spot in the bottom of the frame to increase its lead to 11-1. Shortstop Joaquin Arias (3-for-4, three RBIs) blasted a two-run homer off Green in the frame, his fourth roundtripper of the year. Jason Bourgeois RBI Single RedHawks starter Elizardo Ramirez (7-7) recorded the victory with a quality start, holding the Sounds to one run on seven hits over seven innings of work. Reliever Jesus Colome made his Brewers organization debut for the Sounds and worked two scoreless innings to close out the contest. The teams wrap up the four-game series as well as their 16-game regular-season series with a 4:05 PM finale on Monday afternoon. Left-hander Sam Narron (1-2, 5.54) will man the bump for Nashville to face Oklahoma right-hander Kris Benson (1-1, 6.19). Both hurlers square off against the clubs with whom they made their Class AAA debuts earlier in their respective careers. Nashville Box Score Where is Angel Salome? Back issues yet again? Something new? Part of the reason we highlighted Jonathan Lucroy's workload earlier this week; RHP Nick Green isn't exactly a prized 40-man roster holder at this point in time.. Nashville Game Log

Final: Brevard County 8, Fort Myers (Twins) 4 Game Summary from the Miracle's Site: FORT MYERS -- With three homers in the first two innings it looked like a slugfest in the early going, but only one more run would cross the plate from that point forward in an 8-4 victory for the Brevard County Manatees at Hammond Stadium. Mike Tarsi (2-1) gave up a two-run homer to the Manatees' Steffan Wilson in the first and a grand slam to Caleb Gindl in the second. After one and a half innings, it was 8-0 Brevard County until Rene Leveret launched a three-run blast to right-center in the bottom of the second. It was Leveret's third homer of the year. Unfortunately for the hosts, Joe Benson's RBI single in the fifth inning would be the only other runs scored. Tarsi took his first loss in the Miracle uniform as he went five innings with just three earned runs, five unearned runs, and eight hits. He walked two and struck out three. Dan Merklinger (1-0) won his Manatee debut with five innings of work. He gave up five hits, four runs (all earned), two walks, and five strikeouts. Matt Williams worked a scoreless three innings with three strikeouts and one hit surrendered in his return to Fort Myers after a demotion to Beloit in April. Loek van Mil (the Twins' 7'1" reliever) gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth. Joe Benson and Jair Fernandez were 2-for-4. Amaury Rivas will oppose David Bromberg at 7:05 PM (6:05 Central) on Monday night for the second of a four-game series. Brevard County Box Score It's been a while since we checked, but it's likely this squad has the best full-season record in all of minor league baseball at 58-33; RHP Brandon Rapoza was a bit overshadowed by his awesome Manatee bullpen crew mates early in the season, despite fine work of his own -- he's still doing the job; Zelous Wheeler's .343 July avaerage has his season mark up to .253...

Final: Peoria (Cubs) 12, Wisconsin 5 Wisconsin Site Game Summary Chiefs crush Rattlers By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers PEORIA, IL - Jovan Rosa drove in six runs for the Peoria Chiefs with a grand slam -- one of three homers hit by the Chiefs -- and added a two-run double in a 12-5 win over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Sunday at O'Brien Field. Peoria put the game away early as they took advantage of 10 walks given out by Timber Rattlers pitching. Juan Sanchez tripled on the first pitch of the game. One out later, Brett Lawrie drove in Sanchez with a sacrifice fly. Wisconsin (47-51 overall, 13-15 second half) put runners on second and third with two outs, but Peoria first baseman Rebel Ridling robbed Erik Komatsu of a two-run double with a leaping grab of a liner ticketed for the right field corner. Ridling put the Chiefs (53-46, 14-15) in front in the bottom of the first. After Rattlers starting pitcher Cody Scarpetta walked Ryan Flaherty with one out, Ridling followed with a home run to center. Scarpetta had two outs and nobody on base in the bottom of the third inning, but he walked Ridling, gave up a single to Kyler Burke, and walked Michael Brenly to load the bases. Rosa drilled the first pitch he saw after the walk to Brenly to deep right-center for a grand slam and a 6-1 Peoria lead. The Chiefs tacked on six more runs in the bottom of the fourth with all of the runs coming after two outs. Scarpetta walked a pair of batters in the inning and had to leave with two outs as he was nearing 100 pitches. Rigoberto Almonte entered the game and gave up a two-run double to Burke. A wild pitch let another run to score. Rosa was next and he doubled in two more runs. Junior Lake's two run homer capped the inning and made the score 12-1. Nick Tyson came out of the bullpen an got out of a bases loaded, one-out jam that Almonte left. Tyson would work 2-2/3 scoreless innings. Erik Miller hit a two-out solo homer for the Rattlers in the top of the fifth. Wisconsin added three runs in the eighth inning. Sanchez singled for his third hit of the game. Lawrie drove him in later in the inning with a single. Back-to-back sacrifice flies by Brock Kjeldgaard and Komatsu made the score 12-5. Michael Marseco gave the Rattlers bullpen a much needed break in the bottom of the eighth inning. The Rattlers shortstop took over for Tyson and worked a 1-2-3 inning. Marseco became the first Timber Rattlers position player to appear on the mound since Joe White pitched two scoreless innings against the Kane County Cougars in the second game of a doubleheader on September 2, 2007. The Rattlers went down quietly in the ninth inning and lost for the ninth time in their last eleven games. Wisconsin concludes their three-game series with the Chiefs on Monday night at O'Brien Field. Daniel Meadows (11-2, 4.00) gets the start for the Timber Rattlers. Peoria sends former Timber Rattler Austin Bibens-Dirkx (1-1, 3.12) to the mound as their starting pitcher. Game time is 7:00 PM. Wisconsin Box Score That Rigoberto Almonte hype machine was short-lived and so long ago; ten walks in 7.2 innings for Cody Scarpetta in his last two outings... Wisconsin Game Log

From Adam McCalvy (link): The Brewers signed former Nationals farmhand Ryan Delaughter, a right-hander pitcher, to a Minor League contract and assigned him to rookie-level Arizona. Delaughter was a 5th round selection in the 2005 draft by out of high school. Delaughter was a two-way star for his Texas high school team, but the Nationals saw the most promise as an OF. Scouts compared his makeup to former major leaguer Jay Buhner, as Delaughter had both amazing raw power and a cannon for an arm in the OF. After failing at the plate, he made a handful of appearances on the mound in the Nationals chain before being released. :

Nashville Site Game Summary: Link for Alcides Escobar photo, text follows -- Escobar's Five-Hit Effort Leads Sounds To Win OKLAHOMA CITY -- Shortstop Alcides Escobar went 5-for-5, scored twice, and drove in the eventual game-winning run to lead the Nashville Sounds to an 8-5 victory over the Oklahoma City RedHawks on Saturday evening at AT&T Bricktown Ballpark. With the win, the first-place Sounds (55-45) ended the RedHawks' five-game winning streak. Escobar's five-hit game was the first by a Sound since the 2005 season, when Prince Fielder had five hits at Colorado Springs on August 6. Hernan Iribarren and Jason Bourgeois also had multi-hit games for Nashville, which went seven-for-seven in stolen base chances Saturday night to tie the franchise single-game record for most swipes in a contest (previously accomplished on June 22, 1990 vs. Denver). In the first, Nashville took a 1-0 lead on Josh Rupe. The right-hander surrendered back-to-back base hits to start the game, and the Sounds executed a double steal with runners at first and third. As RedHawks catcher Kevin Richardson threw to second in attempt to get Escobar, Bourgeois stole home for the early advantage. Oklahoma City tied the game on a sacrifice fly by Chris Davis in the bottom of the first inning and built a 4-1 lead after two. In the second, Just Smoak walked and scored on a three-base hit by Greg Golson, who would later score on a fielder's choice. Jose Vallejo scored the fourth tally on a sacrifice fly by Joaquin Arias. Nashville scored once in the fourth and twice in the fifth to tie the game at five. In the seventh, Escobar led off with his fourth hit of the game and came around to score, giving the Sounds their first lead of the night at 5-4. The RedHawks rallied to tie the game at five in the home half of the seventh on an Esteban German sacrifice fly. The Sounds would quickly regain the lead in the eighth off of reliever Neftali Feliz. After Feliz struck out Angel Salome and Freddy Parejo, Bourgeois walked and scored on a triple by Escobar to give Nashville a 6-5 lead. In the ninth, the visitors added two runs against Mike Hinckley to cap the scoring. AUDIO: Alcides Escobar Triple Feliz (4-6) took the loss, while R.J. Swindle (3-1) earned the win despite being charged with his fourth blown save of the season, the third against the RedHawks in his last three outings in Oklahoma City. Ryan Houston pitched a perfect ninth for Nashville to pick up his sixth save. The RedHawks and Sounds play the third game of the series on Sunday afternoon at 4:05 PM. Nashville Box Score LHP Chase Wright technically with a quality start; Mat Gamel and Alcides Escobar each with throwing errors; Jason Bourgeois and Hernan Iribarren continued fantastic seasons; Carlos Corporan replaced Angel Salome in the 8th, no reason given -- conspiracy theorists can think trade, but Angel had also sat consecutive games just prior to this one...

Fiers looking good in relief. Prince with another steal. *** madbad2000, great to hear from you, but did your radio cut out? Check out the real score -- I'm guessing MiLB.com erred and had you faked out... Final: Great Falls (White Sox) 10, Helena 9, 11 innings Brewers score five in the top of the 10th, only to surrener five in the bottom of the inning, then lose in the 11th -- are you kidding us?! No, unfortunately... Voyagers outlast Brewers in 11 Great Falls Tribune When the Helena Brewers erupted for five runs in the 10th inning Saturday night, it appeared certain they would defeat the Great Falls Voyagers and cement their lead in the Northern Division of the Pioneer League. But the Voyagers responded with a five-spot of their own to send the clash into the 11th inning, when they gained an unlikely 10-9 victory on a sacrifice fly by Gordon Cheatham. The victory gave manager Jose Bautista a nice present on his 45th birthday and boosted the Voyagers to a 16-14 record, tied with Helena and one game behind the Missoula Osprey. In the bottom of the 10th, Jose Vargas pounded his fifth homer of the season - all in four games - for the third of his four hits on the night. Pinch-hitter Johny Celis then bounced a two-run single up the middle, and Jeff Tezak capped the rally with an RBI single. In the 11th, the Voyagers loaded the bases on hits by Ryan Hamme and Vargas, then Kyle Colligan was hit by a pitch. Chetaham followed with a long fly to end the marathon. The game got started about 50 minutes late because of a storm that swept through the area, and the Voyagers didn't get their bats started until about an hour after that. Trailing 1-0 heading into the sixth inning, Great Falls got back-to-back doubles from Vargas and Colligan to finally get on the scoreboard. The tie didn't last long as Helena plated three runs on five singles, an error and a stolen base. Chris Ellington ignited the big inning with a single, and he advanced to second on a throwing error by pitcher Nelson Curry. Sean Halton followed with a single to score Ellington. Three more hits followed, good for two runs, before Dan Puls replaced Curry on the mound. The Voyagers tied the score in the bottom of the eighth as they tallied three times on five hits. Zach Kayne and Ryan Hamme both singled before Vargas blasted a run-scoring double. Colligan followed with a single, and Gordon Cheatham knotted the score at 4 with a two-bagger. In the top of the 10th, Great Falls pitchers walked four batters to give the Brewers some free baserunners. Enrique Lechuga replaced Dan Puls on the mound and yielded a two-run single to Ellington, a sacrifice fly to Halton and a two-run double by Michael Roberts. *** Voyagers finish off Brewers in 11th Helena Independent Record Neither team was about to let this game end. The Helena Brewers scored five runs in the top of the 10th inning to take a 9-4 lead, but the Great Falls Voyagers answered right back to tie it up before putting the game away in the 11th Saturday at Centene Stadium. Jordan Cheatham's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded and none out was enough to push across Mike Hamme for the winning run as the Voyagers downed the Brewers 10-9. Helena slips to a tie for second in the Pioneer League with the Voyagers, both at 16-14 on the season, while the Missoula Osprey (17-13) take the top spot after a 2-1 win over Billings the same night. Helena looked like it had easily put away the Voyagers in the top of the 10th when Great Falls' Enrique Lechuga replaced Dan Puls after the previous hurler intentionally walked Scott Krieger to load the bases. The plan backfired when Chris Ellington stroked a line drive to center field, scoring Josh Prince and Mike Brownstein. Sean Halton hit a sacrifice fly and Michael Roberts hit a two-run double before the inning's end. Great Falls peppered Brewers pitcher Kristian Bueno as Jose Vargas hit a two-run homer early in the inning. After Bueno loaded the bases right after, Mitch Miller took over and gave up a two-RBI single and one more run on a single before retiring the side. Vargas would go 4-for-5 with his three RBI and two runs to lead the field. Hamme and Kyle Colligan each added three hits apiece. Ellington led the Brewers, going 2-for-6 with two RBI and two runs scored. Kyle Dhanani went 3-for-6. The Brewers used six pitchers in the game. Jonathan Pokorny started for Helena and despite giving up four walks and striking out just one, didn't give up a single run in three innings of play. Joel Morales took over in the fourth and surrendered two hits but no runs. After Brownstein scored on a throwing error by Vargas at first base in the bottom of the fourth, the Brewers held a 1-0 lead. Colligan hit an RBI double in the bottom of the sixth to tie it up and two squad exchanged runs from there. Helena scored three in the top of the seventh when Ellington, Halton and Roberts all crossed the plate. Vargas hit an RBI double and two other Voyagers scored in the bottom of the eighth to send the game into extra innings. The Brewers remain in Great Falls to face the Voyagers at 4:00 PM (5:00 Central). Helena Box Score Wow, given the playoff race these guys are in, a ridiculously tough loss; the folly of statistics -- Michael Fiers allowed one inherited runner to score in a critical three-run 8th inning in which he tried to clean up Hiram Burgos' trouble but couldn't and was charged with a blown save despite a clean 9th, and Kristian Bueno is not charged with a blown save or a loss despite being charged with all five runs in the disastrous 10th; Burgos, a soon-to-be 22-year-old 6th round college pick this year, has been pounded to the tune of 40 hits in 20.2 innings -- ouch! third baseman Kyle Dhanani returned after a week's absence...
