Maryvale teams were idle Monday, everyone back in action Tuesday, no matinees, except for the usual Dominican island action.

Almost a complete flip here -- Box: DSL Brewers 16, DSL Tigers #1 Squad 2 Brewer pitchers walked five and hit one, and only struck out two, but at the end of the day, performed effectively. This was a day for padding the numbers, 19 hits (two doubles and three home runs among them), also on base eight times via walk/HBP. HR: Alejandro Marte (2, 2nd inning off Peraza, 0 on, 1 out); Erys Bautista (1, 5th inning off Pena, 2 on, 0 out); Eduarqui Fernandez (3, 6th inning off Nunez, 1 on, 0 out). First pro HR for $500,000 signing Bautista. 18-year-old Dominican 2nd-year-switch-hitting OF (RF here) Reidy Mercado singled five times, drove in one, and somehow didn't cross home plate. So don't turn the page on this one, but savor it.

Box: DSL Pirates #1 Squad 17, DSL Brewers/Indians 2 Only 2nd-year-pro recently-turned-18-year-old Dominican RHP Deybi Arias was on the mound for the shared club, he allowed three runs in 2.1 innings, but he also successfully stranded two runners he inherited. Brewer bats were 2-for-17 with two walks. Turn the page from this one.

Brewers reach into the independent ranks yet again, RHP Dylan Prohoroff gets his contract purchased from the Windy City Thunderbolts (Crestwood, Illinois) of the Frontier League, as per the league's transactions page. An 8th round pick of the Pirates in 2016 out of Cal-State Fullerton, the now-24-year-old opened his pro career at an aggressive full-season ball placement at low-A West Virginia, where he repeated in 2017, combining for 61 appearances, all in relief. Prohoroff opened 2018 with the same affiliate yet again in 2018, but only made three appearances. He'd spend the balance of the season on the disabled list, haven't determined the cause just yet. Pittsburgh released him in spring training this year, and then Prohoroff latched on to the independent opportunity. Prohoroff has a pending assignment to the Timber Rattlers, it appears. http://www.milb.com/images/669124/generic/180x270/669124.jpg

AZL Brewers Gold Top of the 1st Larry Ernesto doubles (1) on a ground ball to right fielder Cesar Idrogo. Felix Valerio reaches on a throwing error by third baseman Jothson Flores. Larry Ernesto to 3rd. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Zane Zurbrugg replaces Larry Ernesto.

AUDIO: Pre-game interview with Shuckers Manager Mike Guerrero *** Box: Biloxi 5, Mississippi 2 The 2-through-5 in the lineup not even close to "homegrown", but hey, there was a player gap to fill this past offseason at this level with minor league talent, not super-veteran talent, looking for homes.

Box: DSL Brewers 5, DSL Tigers #1 Squad 2, ten innings Team now with an 8-11 record. DSL Brewers Top of the 10th Eduarqui Fernandez starts inning at 2nd base. Jesus Parra pops out to first baseman Pedro Garcia in foul territory. Branlyn Jaraba doubles (6) on a fly ball to left fielder Enrique Batista. Eduarqui Fernandez scores. Reidy Mercado strikes out swinging. Enrique Yeguez intentionally walks Alejandro Marte. Sebastian Burciaga singles on a line drive to right fielder Jose Rodriguez. Branlyn Jaraba to 3rd.

Sebastian Burciaga to 3rd. Rafael Martinez to 2nd. Farlyn Manon flies out to left fielder Enrique Batista. *** The 17-year-old RH-hitting Colombian rookie Jaraba, a 3B/SS, is showing to be interesting, for sure, 3-for-5 here. A 19-year-old Dominican 3rd-year-pro, RF Alejandro Marte continues a potential breakout, on base four times in this one (three doubles and a walk) and now slashing .379/.471/.655, granted in a nine-game sample (he missed time earlier this month). *** Another rookie RHP the Brewers have identified with starter potential is 18-year-old Panamanian Rafael Garcia, who has rewarded them with a 1.08 WHIP through four starts. A pretty five-inning line here. Three relievers combined for five innings of two-run (only one earned) ball the rest of the way. *** Another injury situation to watch -- DSL Brewers Top of the 5th Alejandro Marte doubles (3) on a line drive to center fielder Carlos Mendoza, deflected by left fielder Enrique Batista. Wild pitch by pitcher Lisandro Marin. Alejandro Marte to 3rd. Juan Frias singles on a line drive to right fielder Jose Rodriguez. Alejandro Marte scores. Offensive Substitution: Pinch-runner Sebastian Burciaga replaces Juan Frias.

Box: DSL Pirates #1 Squad 6, DSL Brewers/Indians 2 17-year-old 6'3" Venezuelan RHP Edwin Jimenez has been inserted as a starter to begin his DSL career, that's normally a good sign the Brewers see a bit "more" in a signee (Carolina's Nelson Hernandez, for instance). Four scorelss here (1 H, 4 K, 4 BB). Three relievers (Brewers all) were each victimized to some extent. The team managed only five hits while drawing nary a walk and fanning 13 times. Elian Gonzalez moved across the diamond to 3B and singled twice. Playing first base was switch-hitting Dominican 19-year-old 2nd-year-pro Francisco Gonzalez, wo clubbed his first pro HR (it was right-handed). 2nd-year infielder Alberis Ferrer played for the first time in twelve days, starting at shortstop, while Carlos Roa remained idle. Indians players have contributed nil to this squad, save for a few effective middle relief performances.
