In Maryvale, 29 Brewer farmhands appeared in the same game. Look forward to Toby's recap later this AM. As he put it last night, "Brewers Win! Brewers Lose!" And some good news on the photo front.

Box: DSL Dodgers "Shoemaker" Squad 7, DSL Brewers/Indians 2 The co-op team out-hit the LA kids 10-7, but lost the battle of bases-on-balls 8-to-2. Converted outfielder, now RHP Francis Casado did not retire any of the four men he faced. OF the five hurlers you see, recently-turned 18-year-old 2nd-year-pro Dominican RHP Deybi Arias (two scoreless, stranded an inherited runner) was the other Milwaukee product. Focus on the 5-through-8 spots in the co-op box. All Brewers, combining to reach eight times.

Box: DSL Brewers 6, DSL Cubs #2 Squad 5 Second consecutive win over this Cubbie team, which had been 16-7 heading into the home-and-home. A three-run 7th tied it at 5-5 in a very DSL way: DSL Brewers Top of the 7th Erys Bautista singles on a ground ball to left fielder Samuel Duarte. Joneiker Ponce de Leon singles on a ground ball to shortstop Lizardo Ruiz. Erys Bautista to 2nd. Branlyn Jaraba strikes out swinging. Jesus Parra flies out to left fielder Samuel Duarte. Juan Frias walks. Erys Bautista to 3rd. Joneiker Ponce de Leon to 2nd. With Jhonnys Cabrera batting, Erys Bautista scores on a balk. Joneiker Ponce de Leon advances to 3rd on a balk. Juan Frias advances to 2nd on a balk. Jhonnys Cabrera reaches on a throwing error by shortstop Lizardo Ruiz. Joneiker Ponce de Leon scores. Juan Frias scores. Reidy Mercado walks. Jhonnys Cabrera to 2nd. Pitching Change: Willians Vasquez replaces Kleiber Carreno. Eduarqui Fernandez called out on strikes. The eventual winning run scored in a more traditional way -- DSL Brewers Top of the 8th Alejandro Marte doubles (7) on a fly ball to center fielder Jose Lopez. Erys Bautista singles on a line drive to center fielder Jose Lopez. Alejandro Marte scores. Erys Bautista out at 2nd on the throw, center fielder Jose Lopez to second baseman Flemin Bautista. *** 18-year-old 2nd-year switch-hitting Dominican OF Reidy Mercado on base four times out of the leadoff spot. Despite all that time on the basepaths, Mercado (nor any other Brewer) attempted a steal. Mercado is 18-for-24 this season in that regard, OBP up to .377 now. The top five in the order reached 13 times. Rookie CF Eduarqui Fernandez clubbed HR #4 on the season. Of the four Cervecerito pitchers, the best work was done by LHP Joandris Tolentino, a 19-year-old 2nd-year Dominican native who netted his first professional save.

More from Biloxi, where: LHP Cam Roegner placed on the 7-day injured list. OF Michael O'Neill activated from the Temp Inactive List.

Carolina Roster Update: The Brewers today placed OF Rob Henry on the Carolina IL and assigned INF Nick Roscetti to the Mudcats. *** Also... RHP Johan Belisario returned to Biloxi from San Antonio, where he was needed for a single pop-up start.

No matinees Monday (except for the DSL kids, naturally). Enjoy your day!

Busy evening in Maryvale. Speaking of Toby, he's scheduled to have those breakdowns for you by around noontime. Look forward to those, here's your quick peeks: Blue wins Gold doesn't

Box: Grand Junction 3, Rocky Mountain 2 Alternative box includes inning-by-inning linescore Can we get this fixed already, MiLB? First-world problems right, if this is our biggest complaint. 4th round catcher Nick Kahle returns after two weeks away with a lower-body injury (based on early video we had pointed out at the time). Kahle was the designated hitter here.

Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes *** Box: Potomac 9, Carolina 1 Rare mis-fire for LHP Clayton Andrews, but surely Manager Joe Ayrault would have liked to have seen RHP Justin Topa close out the 8th just prior. In six outings spanning just 6.2 innings, RHP Phil Bickford's WHIP is 2.85. He allowed two of Andrews' runners to score here, as the game summary below will detail.

Six-Run Seventh Sinks Shuckers in Series Opener Rasmussen Tosses 2.2 Scoreless in Start By Garrett Greene / Biloxi Shuckers *** Was surprised to see how well Biloxi ranks league-wide in overall batting numbers (sortable columns here), because on most nights, the individual lines don't "pop". Tough environment in the Southern League overall.

RHP Jon Olczak activated from the IL at San Antonio. RHP Jacob Barnes to the 7-day injured list.

In his first ten San Antonio appearances this year, RHP Jacob Barnes of the Milwaukee-San Antonio shuttle crew, posted a 0.82 ERA. On Friday, he entered in the 7th inning with the Missions trailing 4-1 and a man on. HR, single, single, HR ensued. Tough outing to be sure, particularly when viewed in the cold print of a box score / game log only. While putting together Friday's Link Report details Saturday AM, I went into tweet mode while reviewing the San Antonio box and game summary, and made an observation about fellow reliever Alex Wilson's success since his DFA. OK, fine on that part. In my vast tweet history, I'm sure there are many individual tweets which could be cited as careless, bordering on idiotic. This was one, because as you can see at the link above (may as well leave the tweet out there), I also managed to allow one particular bad pitching line for a single game (a AAA game at that) to have me tossing out the random removal of a player from the 40-man roster, which would be via DFA. I appreciate that a couple of followers contacted me privately to note the tweet was somewhat out of character for me. There is a difference between hoping the Brewers say goodbye to Neftali Feliz circa 2017 and this situation. But then San Antonio-based followers also brought to my attention that two pitches into his 5th batter, Barnes was pulled by Manager Rick Sweet and Trainer Aaron Hobart for injury reasons. Sure enough, I have since gone back to look at the MiLB.TV archive (gee Jim, that would have been a good idea Sat. AM). It's unclear what was troubling Barnes, so it would seem any early conjecture would call the removal precautionary. We'll probably hear something soon given Barnes' 40-man roster status. Hope it proves not to be serious. As much as we try to highlight the positive within each Link Report, the sheer volume of data and observations will lead to the occasional lowlight. (Yes, I do note the occasional "golden sombrero", even among the youngest Brewers, but that's usually with the caveat that the player will laugh about it later in his successful career.) I've posted in the past that I do strongly feel that players not on the 40-man roster should be free from undue criticism. Sure, we can be disappointed in a prospect's career path (hey, this game is hard and these guys are all pretty elite!), but a mistake like this on my part reminds me that even a rough comment on a 40-man guy needs to be backed up with the most basic of research and I failed in this regard here. I'm pretty sure the big league club's bullpen troubles this past week also had me in a salty mood Saturday AM to begin with, but that's a weak excuse. I'm not actually held to any journalistic standards here at all (it's an unpaid gig, labor of love if you will), but I try to follow the basics. So whether you're a big Jacob Barnes guy or not, here's hoping he'll be back to full-go soon, because he does carry value for the organization. We'll bring this to the attention of Jerry Briggs, the Missions' home-game beat writer, to see if we can learn more. Kind of glad this came about, think it'll make me better at what I do here and in my Twitter presence as well. Thanks for reading. NOTE: For MiLB.TV subscribers, go to the June 28th San Antonio game, then to the 03:09:00 hour/minute mark when Barnes enters. He leaves due to injury a bit after the 03:21:00 mark.
