Box: Peoria (Cardinals) 12, Wisconsin 9 Pre-Game Media Notes (via download) Chiefs Score Four in Ninth to Topple Timber Rattlers By Chris Mehring Rare off-night at the plate for Korry Howell, but lots of crooked numbers for many others. Unfortunately, that includes the pitching lines. *** *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner look for (and find) the positives for the Timber Rattlers after another tough loss to the Peoria Chiefs at home. Plenty to talk about in this episode."

Box: Montgomery (Rays) 7, Biloxi 6 Shuckers fall to 11-18. Ninth-Inning Rally Falls Short For Shuckers Aguilar and Devanney Both Homer for Biloxi *** TWEET: We are reminded that Payton Henry is crazy-solid behind the plate. First time in his six Biloxi appearances newcomer LHP Andy Otero was scored upon. Tristen Lutz 0-for-4 (three K's), as he's now 0-for-his-last-26. Hang in there, Tristen, we'll point out your outfield assist Saturday. Oddly, the Biscuits don't post any video at all.

Box: Charlotte (White Sox) 4, Nashville 0 Pre-Game Media Notes Sounds Blanked Again in Charlotte Nashville Loses Consecutive Games for First Time Since May 4-5 *** VIDEO Tweet via the Knights: Jamie Westbrook a victim of CF defense to lead off the game *** From Thursday's Link Report: On Friday, Venezuela fell to the Dominican Republic, with Hernan Perez driving in all four Venezuela runs with a 7th inning grand slam. Biloxi's Alexander Palma was 1-for-2 in this game (box score). Also on Friday, Nashville's Logan Forsythe walked twice and scored a run in USA's 10-1 win over Canada (box score). On Saturday, the USA defeated Venezuela 4-2 to qualify for the Olympics (box score). Forsythe did not play. For Venezuela, Perez remained scorching hot. The commentary accompanying the HR video here says it all. Perez finished 3-for-4. Biloxi's Luis Castro walked once in four plate appearances, and Alexander Palma was retired as a pinch-hitter to end the game as the US team would celebrate. Timber Rattlers RHP Harold Chirino struck out two of the four men he retired in another scoreless relief appearance. *** So Palma and Castro should be rejoining Biloxi. However, Venezuela gets one last chance to qualify in late June at what is called the "Final Qualifying Tournament". Read about that here. So it is likely that Perez, Palma, and Castro may be excused to play again in three weeks.

Box: Peoria (Cardinals) 11, Wisconsin 4 Peoria Powers Past Wisconsin 11-4 Whalen hits three homers while Richardson hits two for the Chiefs By Chris Mehring *** Be sure to watch Gabriel Garcia's knuckleball performance! *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "The Timber Rattlers lost 11-4 to the Peoria Chiefs on June 4. Peoria's Brady Whalen hit three home runs in the game and Zade Richardson hit two homers for the Chiefs. Chris Mehring and Kyle Lobner have a few things to discuss on the Rattlers side of the ledger.

Not officially on the IL (yet), but Nashville's Corey Ray and Dustin Peterson will be out "weeks".

AUDIO via Southern Middle Tennessee Sports: This interview with Voice of the Sounds Jeff Hem has every fantastic insight into the current Sounds 15-game winning streak you can imagine -- the roster juggling, Jim Henderson's influence on the pitching staff, so much more to even list. Unfortunately, the updates include two tough ones on the injury front -- The two players who exited Tuesday's game early are expected to be out "weeks", not days. OF Corey Ray has a hip flexor. OF/1B Dustin Peterson has a left hand injury via a HBP. Peterson is a RH bat-to-ball low-K sneaky fiend with pop who saw time in big league camp. I personally believe he may have been in even more consideration than Zack Green regarding a possible call-up (just speculation though). *** With Hernan Perez and Logan Forsythe involved at least a bit more with Olympic qualifying, Jeff reminds us that there is nary a bench position player beyond the backup catcher most nights now. I'd love to learn more about the Brewers Covid "Taxi Squad" the next time the big league club hits the road, because the AAA roster can't spare to lose a Luke Maile or Pablo Reyes right now. There's just no bodies. And this is all in the midst of a friggin' 15-game (and counting) winning streak! Kudos, Sounds players and coaches!

Box: Montgomery (Rays) 9, Biloxi 6 Six-Run Second Too Much For Shuckers Against Biscuits Turang Drives In Three, Longo Records Three Hits for Biloxi *** Tristen Lutz, hitless in his last 19 at-bats, got the night off. Good to see Tyler Friis back at second base; he exited last Saturday's game after an awkward first base collision. Boy, it's been rough for southpaw's Leo Crawford and Cody Beckman.

Box: Nashville 15, Charlotte (White Sox) 4 Sounds Match Franchise Record, Win 15th Straight Nashville Wins 15 Straight for First Time since July 29-August 14, 2018 *** Incredible, the walks, the runs, the wins! The eight position players in the box score (non-catchers) are the only ones who are healthy (non day-to-day). If Kolten Wong has to hit the IL, Brewers may find a way to get Jace Peterson back on the 40-man and 26-man rosters. RHP Thomas Jankins, who last pitched on 5/21, tossed an inning here. Manager Rick Sweet had mentioned that he would be back soon, but didn't indicate what the issue was there.

Some Olympic qualifying updates as it pertains to current Brewer farmhands -- Venezuela enjoyed this Tuesday walk-off win (box score) over Colombia. Hernan Perez, Alexander Palma, and Luis Castro reached a combined four times. Also on Tuesday, the U.S. defeated the Dominican Republic, 8-6 (box score). Nashville's Logan Forsythe was 1-for-2 and drove in a run. *** On Wednesday, Venezuela shutout Canada, 5-0 (box score). 23-year-old Timber Rattlers RHP Harold Chirinos, threw sweet 7th and 8th inning for the victors. Perez and Palma combined for 0-for-7 (Perez base on balls). The Puerto Rico and USA game was rained out, including their attempt to reschedule today. *** Both Venezuela and the US advance to the "Super Round" which begins Friday, and they face each other Saturday.
