Final, Game Two: Colorado Springs 10, Omaha 2 Sky Sox Sweep Doubleheader Phillips, Brinson, Susac club homers in victory By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Bubba Derby benefited from a strong offensive output and earned his second win in his second Triple-A start. (Paat Kelly photo) *** 3rd Inning Blast -- *** 4th Inning Fun, Three-Run Bomb Temporarily Knocked Out the Video Satellite Feed -- *** Colorado Springs Game Two Box Score Yes, Ivan De Jesus, Jr. is 11-for-12 with a walk in his last three games, behold. Nothing new, we've been highlighting his consistency here for weeks. Now seems like a fine time to link to the Sky Sox' individual stats page, where you'll see that it certainly isn't a small sample anymore at this point in the season for many. Note that for any individual player page, you can click on "Splits" and compare home and away. In the case of De Jesus, Jr., the travel split is not extreme at all, it is more so for Garrett Cooper, who sat out Game Two. Colorado Springs Game Two Game Log RHP Bubba Derby with a big bounceback season (trust your Brewers professional scouts and David Stearns much more often than not); RHP Tom Wilhelmsen needed a nice clean frame, and he got it.

Well, Brinson is playing Monday night, so it's confusing. Anyway, here's the Sky Sox online roster as of this evening, showing 27 players as active. The Brewers made two moves with the Sky Sox on Tuesday. LHP Andrew Barbosa was placed on the Temporary Inactive List, and catcher Tyler Heineman was placed on the paper "taxi squad" portion of the Helena roster. There are 18 pitchers and 15 position players (including the spot Heineman is taking up) on the Helena roster, so that still leaves room for two players to add to the H-Crew if the organization wishes.

Final: Helena 4, Billings 2 Walk Free Night Delivers Brewers Second Win Hernandez, File and Rose allow two runs in 4-2 win By Garrett Greene / Helena Brewers Franly Mallen It was an outstanding debut pro game for a 29th round pick fortunate enough to begin his career in the mountain air and not the Arizona desert, as you'll read at the link above. *** VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS: With an odd fascination on Brewer batters fanning (they won, guys) *** Helena Independent Record - Write-up and photos (no quotes) *** Helena Box Score 20-year-old Venezuelan RHP Nelson Hernandez has always been a strike-thrower, even in his debut season at age 17 in the DSL. Almost to the extreme, with a 1.43 career WHIP (231 H in 181.2 IP). Helena Game Log

Final: Colorado Springs 14, Omaha 3 Offense Erupts In 14-3 Series Opener Sky Sox club four home runs to take first game of homestand By Robby Veronesi / Colorado Springs Sky Sox Ivan De Jesus had a 5-for-5 night Monday, becoming the second Sox batter in 2017 to record a five hit night after Garrett Cooper on May 22. (Paat Kelly photo) Seven different Sky Sox drove in at least one run as Colorado Springs defeated the Omaha Storm Chasers, 14-3, in front of 2,204 Monday night at Security Service Field. That's the lead line of the summary, and based on the score, you'll want to read on at the link above. *** Also this -- Brinson returns in style for Sky Sox Top Brewers prospect goes 4-for-4, reaches base five times By Tyler Maun / MiLB.com Lewis Brinson posted a .312/.397/.503 slash line in 45 games before his first big league call. (Bobby Stevens photo / MiLB.com) Inches away from a cycle -- Fantastic quotes from Manager Rick Sweet throughout that linked feature article. *** Colorado Springs Box Score Mauricio Dubon bumps Kyle Wren to the 9-hole and Wren goes 0-for-5, but otherwise what a glorious box score, mountain effects or not; if Ivan De Jesus, Jr.'s agent didn't negotiate a July 1st opt-out, shame on him, a dozen teams would gladly pick him up.
