Box: DSL Brewers 6, DSL Mets #2 Squad 5 More Reidy Mercado for you, still an adventure on the basepaths (32-for-43, adding to both totals here). His double the lone XBH in the game for the Crew, but contributions from several.

Box: DSL Rays #2 Squad 4, DSL Brewers/Indians 1 11-30. Co-op team had more errors (three, two by Brewers players) than hits (one). SS Alberis Ferrer drove in the team's only run with a 7th inning single. Only Brewer pitcher was 6'3" 17-year-old rookie Venezuelan RHP Edwin Jimenez, who fared pretty well in his four-inning start.

The Maryvale teams were idle Saturday, Brewers clearly asked for their off days to match up, to set up camp days, mutual rest days, etc.

Box: Ogden 8, Rocky Mountain 3 Alternative box includes inning-by-inning linescore Down 6-0 after four innings... *** From this Ogden newspaper report: Former third-round pick Nash Walters got the start for the Vibes (13-20) and flummoxed Ogden hitters for two innings, consistent with his 1.44 ERA in six prior starts, before his accuracy got away from him in the third. Walters issued four walks (one was thrown out stealing), setting up Brandon Lewis. On a 2-0 pitch, Walters put a fastball letter high right over the plate. Lewis appeared to be waiting for it, crushing a 457-foot bomb over the scoreboard. It was Ogden’s first hit of the night but it was good enough for a 4-0 lead. *** AUDIO Tweet: Home run from switch-hitting Edwin Sano

Box: Biloxi 12, Mobile 3 Dozen Does It Again For Shuckers File Throws Seven Quality Frames, Segovia and Caldwell Both Drive in Four By Garrett Greene / Biloxi Shuckers Six multi-hit games and everyone reached base at least once save for Jake Gatewood. That's not to single Jake out (although OK, admittedly it does), but fans should be aware that it's been a trying return season (major knee surgery comeback), .552 OPS and 87 K's in 210 AB's. Otherwise, the box score for your review is pretty glorious. Joantgel Segovia meeting AA pitching in June: .497 OPS. July: .852 OPS. *** Toby on LHP/OF Clayton Andrews *** Remember, Mobile becomes the next version of "Huntsville" next season, with the new ballpark just outside the city limits of the Brewers' former AA home.

San Antonio Pre-Game Media Notes *** Box: Oklahoma City 9, San Antonio 8 Travis Shaw 3-for-4, two homers and a walk. Fascinating roster manipulations on the big league horizon, no? Lucas Erceg two doubles and a walk. OKC Outslugs Flying Chanclas From within -- the PCL in 2019, even in the more modest environments as the weather really heats up: "Bubba Derby's outing continued a tough stretch for the starting rotation, which has recorded a 9.50 ERA over the team's last 10 games, yet San Antonio has won eight of those." Good bullpen work - seems no matter who the Missions rotate into the pen, the results are almost always strong. Oh, RHP Jacob Barnes is back after a short DL stint (June 29th placement). *** Nate Orf angling for another shot at big leagues

Severe Weather and Power Outage Postpones Rattlers on Saturday By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers "The plan is to have the Timber Rattlers and Whitecaps make up the game on Sunday as part of a doubleheader with game one scheduled to start at 1:05 PM. That plan may change if the power does not return in time for Sunday's twinbill. The Timber Rattlers will try to keep everyone updated through social media as best they can." A bit more at the link...

Via the Shuckers we learn that: INF Luis Aviles Jr. has been placed on the IL, while C Skyler Ewing has been transferred to Biloxi from San Antonio. *** Aviles had been on the IL from 7/8 to 7/18, so this is essentially back-to-back stints, no word on the injury nature or severity.

Box: Ogden 9, Rocky Mountain 5 Alternative box includes inning-by-inning linescore It was knotted at 5-5 after five innings. "Ogden is now an absurd 26-6, with six games left in the first half, and has won 21 of its last 23 games. The Raptors’ franchise best for wins in one half is 26." Um, alrighty then... *** Hey, remember when the Ogden Raptors were a Brewers' affiliate? Wikipedia does: In 1996, the Raptors began an affiliation with the Milwaukee Brewers. Skipper Bernie Moncallo took over at the helm, and the club reached the league finals, where they lost to Helena. DH Miguel Rodriguez was an All-Star and tied for the league lead with 17 home runs. Moncallo's club did not make the postseason the following year, despite fine performances by catcher Bobby Darula, who hit .332, and pitcher Derek Lee, who posted a 3.89 ERA in 14 appearances. Ed Sedar took over as the Raptors manager in 1998, and the club once again returned to the playoffs, getting swept by the Idaho Falls Braves in the first round. Frank Candela hit .311 and paced the circuit with 43 stolen bases, and closer Dan Mathews tied for the league lead with 16 saves. Under the leadership of Jon Pont and Sedar the next season, the club once again missed out on the playoffs, despite the performance of outfielder Cristian Guerrero, who hit .310 with 26 steals. Sedar's team once again made the postseason in 2000, losing to the Idaho Falls Padres in the first round. Third baseman Daryl Clark hit .339 while clubbing 15 homers, and outfielder Dave Krynzel hit .359. Pitcher Justin Gordon went 5-5 and joined them as All-Stars. In 2001, the Raptors were led by third baseman Florian Villanueva, who hit .308, but the team slipped under .500. The next season, under new skipper Tim Blackwell, they returned to the playoffs, but fell to the Provo Angels. Outfielder Mario Mendez provided offensive spark for the club, stealing 20 bases. *** Wow, good memories there, reaching back to Brewerfan's origin year in 2001. Derek Lee, Mayor of Huntsville! Are you confused about the Helena team reference above? In 2001 the Helena franchise moved to Provo, UT becoming the Provo Angels. Helena went without pro baseball for two years then in 2003 the Medicine Hat Blue Jays signed up with Milwaukee, moved into K.L. Field and resurrected the Brewers name. *** No formal game summary, but here's the newspaper report from Ogden. Four Vibes' with two-hit games, RHP Wuilder Rodriguez still has work to do before his return to higher levels, and 6th round LHP Nick Bennett with two scoreless innings late, so please head back to the box score link for your review.

Box: Biloxi 12, Mobile 7 Game summary isn't "online" yet, but here's the content: CLOCK NEARS MIDNIGHT AS SHUCKERS TOP BAYBEARS ON FRIDAY Longest Contest of Season Concludes With Seventh Straight Win MOBILE, AL – After four hours and two minutes of baseball on Friday night at Hank Aaron Stadium, the Biloxi Shuckers (58-39, 17-10 2nd half) walked away with a 12-7 win over the Mobile BayBears (40-55, 13-14 2nd half) in game two of the four-game set. Four multi-run innings and sixteen total hits from the offense helped push Biloxi's winning streak to a season-best seven games. The Shuckers never trailed during the contest and struck for three early runs in the first inning against Tyler Carpenter (L, 1-1). Corey Ray doubled to lead off the game and Luis Aviles Jr. followed with a bunt single in his first at bat since being reinstated from the injured list. After Patrick Leonard struck out, Dillon Thomas smashed a three-run home run to right field to give Biloxi an early 3-0 lead. Cooper Hummel yanked a solo homer over the right field wall to begin the second inning, the first of four hits on the game for the switch hitter. Hummel led off the fourth with a single while Alexander Alvarez and Ray drew consecutive walks to load the bases and end the night for Carpenter. After Isaac Mattson inherited the bases full, Jake Gatewood drove in a run with a sacrifice fly, Leonard notched an RBI single and Thomas plated another with his own sac fly for a 7-0 lead. Mobile responded with three straight doubles against Alec Bettinger to begin the fourth. Erick Salcedo drove in a pair with his two-bagger and with the bases loaded, Connor Justus was drilled in the back with a pitch to make it a 7-3 game. Bettinger was lifted in the fourth for Marcos Diplan (W, 2-4), who walked Jo Adell with the bases loaded to cut the lead to 7-4. Diplan worked into the sixth, allowing one run on one hit and three walks. In the Shuckers sixth, Leonard sacrificed Bruce Caldwell home with a fly ball to right field that was dropped by Adell and allowed Leonard to reach second base. Thomas followed with a single to drive in Leonard, his fifth RBI of the game, and jump Biloxi to a 9-4 advantage. With a comfortable 9-5 lead in the eighth the Shuckers strung together a two-out rally and hung another three spot on the board facing Joe Gatto. Gatewood doubled and Weston Wilson walked to put two on for C.J. Hinojosa, who tucked a double down the left-field line. Both runners scored while Hinojosa extended his hitting streak to a season high 12 games. Hummel followed in the next at bat with a single to score Hinojosa and cap the Shuckers tally with a 12-5 lead. Cody Ponce gave up three straight hits in the eighth, including a two-run double to Jhoan Urena before tossing a scoreless ninth and working a 5-4-3 double play to end the game two minutes before the clock struck midnight. The Shuckers continue their series with the BayBears on Saturday with first pitch scheduled for 7:05 PM. The Shuckers will send RHP Dylan File (4-1, 3.58) to the mound and Mobile will throw RHP Luis Madero (4-7, 5.31).

Formally added to the San Antonio roster on Friday.

That was on 7/16. Lillis has subsequently been placed on the 60-day DL. Bummer for the still just 21-year-old. *** After six relief appearances (8 IP, 1 ER), Prohoroff has been shifted to the Rocky Mountain roster.

Box: AZL Dodgers "Mota" Squad 7, AZL Brewers 2 Starting RHP Joey Matulovich walked four but allowed only one run in three innings. Would love to know more of his story (rehab, injury type). Nightmare six-run 4th victimized RHP Yohandry Perez, who showed enough in early spring camp to spend time with the Timber Rattlers in early May (four appearances). Three of the runs were unearned. Wonderful outing for 30th round RHP Peyton Long, stranding a Perez runner and then throwing five additional shutout frames. On offense, six hits (three doubles) and four walks, but no runs until mop-up time: AZL Brewers Gold Bottom of the 9th Oswel Leones walks. Wild pitch by pitcher Michael Martinez. Oswel Leones to 2nd. Andres Melendez strikes out swinging. Matthew Mika doubles (4) on a line drive to right fielder Danny Sinatro. Oswel Leones scores. Pitching Change: Cyrillo Watson replaces Michael Martinez. Wild pitch by pitcher Cyrillo Watson. Matthew Mika to 3rd. Ashton McGee doubles (5) on a fly ball to right fielder Danny Sinatro. Matthew Mika scores. Juan Martinez lines out to third baseman Kenneth Betancourt. Francis Florentino lines out to center fielder Ismael Alcantara.

Box: AZL Brewers Blue 5, AZL Indians Blue 4, ten innings Two in the 8th to tie, then this: AZL Brewers Blue Top of the 10th Alex Hall starts inning at 2nd base. Luis Silva strikes out swinging. Cam Devanney flies out to center fielder Will Brennan. Andre Nnebe singles on a line drive to right fielder Cristopher Cespedes. Alex Hall scores. Jackie Urbaez singles on a ground ball to right fielder Cristopher Cespedes. Andre Nnebe to 2nd. Pitching Change: Nic Enright replaces Nate Ocker. Caleb Marquez strikes out swinging.

Ike Freeman out at 3rd. Julian Escobedo singles on a ground ball to left fielder Jackie Urbaez. Jesus Maestre out at 3rd on the throw, left fielder Jackie Urbaez to third baseman Luis Silva. Julian Escobedo to 2nd. Throwing error by pitcher Jake Cousins on the pickoff attempt. Jose Tena strikes out swinging. *** That was the newly-acquired Cousins' Brewers debut, two scoreless for the win. Eight up, eight down, stranded an inherited runner for 36th round RHP Keegan McCarville. Best outing of the year for RHP Jhoan Cruz, who has an optical illusion going on with his hat here (or it's just too big). Focus on the 3-4-5-6 spots in the lineup, on base nine times combined. The game-tying two-run rally produced the only two XBH's for the Crew. AZL Brewers Blue Top of the 8th Arbert Cipion walks. Arbert Cipion caught stealing 2nd base, catcher Jose Colina to shortstop Jose Tena. Alex Hall strikes out swinging. Luis Silva walks. Cam Devanney doubles (4) on a ground ball to left fielder Julian Escobedo. Luis Silva scores. Andre Nnebe doubles (2) on a fly ball to right fielder Cristopher Cespedes. Cam Devanney scores. Jackie Urbaez walks. Passed ball by catcher Jose Colina. Andre Nnebe to 3rd. Jackie Urbaez to 2nd. Caleb Marquez strikes out swinging. *** Yeah, clutch game, Andre Nnebe.
