Final: Nashville 8, Louisville (Reds) 4 Box Score and Game Log Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Five-Run First Inning Lifts Sounds Over Bats I am blatantly pilfering this paragraph from the detailed game summary linked above for emphasis: "Jeferson Quero has arguably been playing the best baseball of his professional career over the last two weeks, and that continued in Friday night's game against the Bats. Fresh off a 2-for-4 night with a double and an RBI, Quero began Friday with a go-ahead three-run homer to center field. Over the last two weeks, Quero is 13-for-30 (.433) with three homers and 13 RBI. The Brewers No. 4 prospect is currently going through a season-long hitting streak of eight games and season-long on-base streak of 11 games. This is Quero's longest hitting streak of his career since putting up an eight-game hitting streak in 2023 with Double-A Biloxi from June 24 - July 4." Quero's final minor league option year is 2026, but my goodness, a William Contreras-Quero MLB catcher tandem is going to be fun - if William ever lets Jeferson play, that is. Is it possible Quero's at-bats will be limited in number for two years until Contreras exits after 2027? Still a bit confounded by the targeting of Brandon Lockridge at the deadline. Jared Oliva is a year and a half older, sure, but is essentially the same player. The pun-master on the Sounds media team continues his 2025 season: Welcome back to Nashville, Jackson Chourio, you barely know the place (again, see the game summary for the reminder on his limited AAA career). Not a stellar arrival from Korea for starting pitcher Tucker Davidson, but my goodness, behold those 7.1 innings of relief work in the box score. Rest day for Rhys Hoskins. The Reds have reason to worry about previously heralded starter Chase Petty's 2025 performance, both at AAA and in MLB. Biloxi Pre-Game Media Notes Final, Game One: Biloxi 7, Chattanooga (Reds) 4 Box Score and Game Log Final, Game Two: Biloxi 3, Chattanooga 2 Box Score and Game Log NOTE: Each game was played to completion in seven innings as scheduled. Catch up with the latest Biloxi pre-game audio interview archives Pratt, Spain Lead Heroics in Shuckers Doubleheader Sweep Against Lookouts - Pratt records walk-off double in game two, Spain smashes go-ahead grand slam in game one Enhance your full experience of the evening in Mississippi by reveling in eight sweet game highlight videos via the Biloxi 'X' feed here. Lara added two singles, a walk, and three RBI to his season totals: But in so many ways, this evening belonged to Cooper Pratt: Manager Joe Ayrault made sure all available players saw action in the twinbill, with only sidelined catcher Darrien Miller and infielder Mike Boeve idle (neither on an official injured list). Miller's absence is seemingly directly related to a catcher's interference instance on August 13th, while Boeve last played on August 7th, a game in which he was the designated hitter and was lifted after his second plate appearance, a popout to the catcher. (By the way, I did perform due diligence and attempted to view the 3rd inning Boeve pop-out on the archive, but the Knoxville MiLB TV feed that night didn't begin until the bottom of the 5th.) There was no indication upon Mark Manfredi's relief appearance for Tyson Hardin after just one inning, that there was anything more to the brief outing (21 pitches) than Hardin's six-week layoff. As noted in the game summary, Shuckers batters fanned only five times over the 12 innings in which they came to the plate on the night. Refreshing! Though Biloxi bats have fared pretty well in that regard, third fewest K's in the Southern League this season. Wisconsin Pre-Game Media Notes (download link) Final: Beloit (Marlins) 4, Wisconsin 2 Box Score and Game Log Beloit Beats Wisconsin 4-2 - Rattlers miss opportunities in tough loss No video supplied by the Sky Carp, so we rely on the Rattlers for any views, and they come through, even in the road game loss so well documented at the link above: Jesus Made and his 14-game Wisconsin line of .357/.438/.607 was riding the pine, for which we - and anyone who traveled to Beloit for the game - were saddened. RHP Ryan Birchard has allowed only 70 base hits in 93.2 innings, yet his WHIP sits at 1.48 because of 74 free passes (69 walks, five HBP's). Much work to do for the 22-year-old as a return to High-A seems prudent depending on what is shown next spring. Carolina Pre-Game Media Notes Final, completion of Thursday's suspended game: Salem (Red Sox) 3, Carolina 1 Box Score and Game Log NOTE: The regularly scheduled nightcap was postponed, with two seven-inning contests now scheduled for Saturday. Mudcats Rally Comes Up Short Oh no, Carolina falls into second place, one game behind Washington's Fredericksburg club, in the second half standings. It's tough to analyze all league rosters, but it'd be safe to say that the Mudcats have lost the most talent to promotions league-wide in recent weeks. "Gets us going" is a relative phrase when there is no further "going" - Continue to behold RHP Ethan Dorchies' body of work in 2025 in his age 18 (!) debut season. All of us can do the WHIP math on 41 hits allowed and 30 walks in 71 innings between Arizona and Carolina. Still need help? Answer = 1.00. Wait until that is refined further heading to Wisconsin to begin 2026. Shortstop Brady Ebel struck out in the top of the 1st when this game began on Thursday, with that half-inning being the only action before rain arrived. For whatever reason, he did not play in this resumed contest, thus the box score view. Same goes for initial starter LHP Wande Torres, who must have been fully "hot" and ready to go Thursday and thus bypassed Friday night. We'll see him before the weekend is out. Infielder Filippo Di Turi's monthly splits reveal a near-shocking decline considering how much his praises were being sung earlier this season. Carolina will try again to get two games in when action resumes Saturday. Can we trust the projected starter listed for Nashville? As far as we know, RHP Carlos Rodriguez is in the big-league bullpen. RHP Bishop Letson is scheduled to make his second appearance for Wisconsin since his 14-week long absence.
