Not a bat flip, but a bat toss

Final: Orem 13, Helena 9 Just guessing this may be the only professional baseball game of 2017 in which the visiting team scored seven runs in the top of the 1st and lost. Early Lead Evaporates In Loss By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers *** Helena Box Score Through six Helena games, soon-to-be 19-year-old Tristen Lutz is sporting a 1.356 OPS. MiLB releases their videos in two waves daily, overnight and then mid-morning. Hopefully we get Lutz HR video later on. One would think speed would be part of 2B Franly Mallen's game, but he stole only his first of the year here, and is only 13-for-28 in attempts going back 3.5 years to the start of his pro career in the DSL. Helena Game Log How the heck did these two teams play a 2-1 game the night before?

Final: Cedar Rapids 3, Wisconsin 1 Rattlers Fall to Kernels in Series Finale By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Includes this: Wisconsin's home record fell to 21-38 with the loss. *** *** AUDIO via the Rattler Radio Soundcloud: "The Papa John’s Postgame Podcast has interviews with Chase Anderson, Nathan Rodriguez, and Matt Erickson. Plus, Chris Mehring & Kyle Lobner discuss the 3–1 loss to the Cedar Rapids Kernels." *** Anderson happy with Rattlers rehab start Jim Oskola, Appleton Post-Crescent *** Wisconsin Box Score RHP Braden Webb fanned seven and walked none over his four two-run innings. Wisconsin Game Log

Sky Sox, Express Postpone Tuesday's Game Sky Sox will host a double header Wednesday starting at 4:00pm So five of the nine organizational minor league games were not played Tuesday. Unfortunately, the big leaguers did play .

Via Tom Haudricourt -- #Brewers GM David Stearns confirms that reliever Tyler Cravy was put on suspended list with @skysox for violating team rule. Rough year. A grievance is being filed.

Obviously, based on this scoreboard, the DSL Tigers are the only Dominican Summer League team with a domed stadium.

Wisconsin Media Notes: The Brewers have announced that RHP Zack Brown has been transferred from the Timber Rattlers to Carolina and RHP Colton Cross has been activated from the Wisconsin disabled list.

At Colorado Springs, RHP Tim Dillard has rejoined the Sky Sox roster from the Helena paper taxi squad. There was a spot for Dillard because RHP Tyler Cravy has been placed on the suspended list, as per his MiLB Player Page. We don't know if this was a league suspension for an on-field transgression, or a team/organization-imposed suspension, nor do we know the length. So it'd be unfair to speculate at all until we know more (if we are able to learn more).

Considering Mississippi is 12-31 in the second half, losing these two games hopefully won't impact the season-ending playoff qualifying for Biloxi. Would have been nice to play today.
