Already in his Sky Sox cap! http://www.milb.com/images/658792/t551/180x270/658792.jpg *** Colorado Springs Box Score Wilkerson threw 100 pitches in his last outing on the 2nd[/b], so not sure why he was limited to 62 pitches and four innings here; as you just read, Tyler Cravy's injury is "undisclosed" for now.

Sunday's Helena Game Postponed Due to Rain Brewers and Mustangs To Play Doubleheader Monday HELENA, MT - Sunday's scheduled game between the Helena Brewers and Billings Mustangs has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Josh Kusnick's active Brewer farmhand clients -- Brandon Diaz, Dustin DeMuth, Alan Sharkey, Carlos Leal and big leaguer Jeremy Jeffress

AAA reliever Jaye Chapman to Tampa Bay for PTBNL/cash replaces this recent deal on our tracker: Rays (05/12/16) -- Acquired RHP Jhan Marinez in exchange for cash considerations

Also making room for the eventual activation of newcomer RHP Aaron Wilkerson (Aaron Hill deal) with the Sky Sox.

Good luck to Jaye, a Josh Kusnick client, and one of @DimTillard's leading Dubsmash stars, always willing to take on a female lead when necessary.

As per the Brewers, RHP Kaleb Earls lands on the 7-day DL at Brevard.

Latest from Brewers on Tap TV - Lane Grindle with GM David Stearns Lots of farmhand and prospect talk, too...

Via the Transaction Thread -- Two exciting moves become official via MiLB.com -- 19-year-old RHP Marcos Diplan (Yovani Gallardo trade) will surely be one of the Florida State League's youngest pitchers now, if not the youngest, as he jumps up a level from Wisconsin. And recently-turned 20-year-old RHP Trey Supak, who along with Keon Broxton came over in the Jason Rogers deal, is officially added to the Timber Rattlers' roster from Helena, where the Pirates' competitive balance round 2014 pick (73rd overall) posted a stellar 0.76 WHIP in his first 14 Brewer organization innings. Congrats to both (and to us, who get to follow along)! By the way, the Timber Rattlers don't need to make a corresponding move, looks like the Manatees will need to, in order to reach the 25-man roster limit.

Final: Arizona Indians 8, Arizona Brewers 1 Weather: 109 degrees, clear. Wind: 9 mph, Out to CF. Maryvale Box Score With his club down 5-1, undrafted Canadian free agent RHP Jeremy Newton allowed three runs on four hits in the 8th in his debut, but hey, you're now a professional, sir; 18-year-old Adam Lind deal RHP Carlos Herrera's four-inning line is "OK", no walks (one HBP), three K's... Maryvale Game Log The A-Crew only managed two hits, one a double by second baseman Trey York, as the 22-year-old East Tennessee State 9th round pick is sporting a nice .294/.431/.431 line, seven doubles in 51 AB's, and more walks (13) than K's (11). He's the lone bat that is an obvious Helena candidate when the opportunity arises, at least for now.

Final: Helena 2, Billings 1, ten innings Brewers Walk Off in Extras Helena Tops Billings 2-1 in 10 HELENA, MT - With Lucas Erceg on third and two outs in the bottom of the 10th, Demi Orimoloye hit a hard ground ball to third. Caleb Wright set his feet and fired to first, but the throw pulled Montrell Marshall off the bag. As Orimoloye ducked away from the tag, Erceg touched home plate to give the Helena Brewers their first walk-off win of the year, 2-1 over the Billings Mustangs on Saturday night. The win evened the head to head season series at three games apiece, and brought the Brewers to within two games of the Pioneer League North co-division leaders Billings and Great Falls. Helena scored the game's first run on a bases loaded walk in the first inning, but Billings tied it up in the bottom of the seventh on a single to center that skipped by Joantgel Segovia and allowed Hector Vargas to score from first. The story tonight was pitching, especially the Brewers duo of Jordan Desguin and Wuilder Rodriguez (1-0). Desguin went six innings for the second time this season, allowing just four hits and a walk. He struck out seven batters, the most of any Brewers pitcher in an outing this season, and has now fanned 27 in 26 innings of work. Rodriguez earned the victory, scattering four hits, two walks and the unearned run across a four-inning outing that lowered his ERA to 2.55. Having won two of the three to start the five game homestand, the Brewers will look to make it two in a row over Billings when the two teams meet on Sunday at 1:05 PM (2:05 Central). Nash Walters will make his Pioneer League debut for the Brewers opposite Scott Moss, who will be making his pro debut for the Mustangs. *** Two PHOTOS at the link below -- Erceg helps Brewers nip Billings in extras Ryan Collingwood, Helena Independent Record The Helena Brewers have been a mercurial ball club since the onset of Pioneer League play. But third baseman Lucas Erceg, a second-round draft pick a month ago, has been a model of consistency. Erceg scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning Saturday night when the Brewers nipped the Billings Mustangs 2-1 at Kindrick Legion Field. Erceg, who went 3 for 4 and was also walked, poked a single to center on a full count and advanced to third after a sacrifice bunt and pop fly. When Demi Orimoloye ripped a two-out grounder to Billings third baseman Colby Wright, an errant throw to first baseman Kontrell Marshall forced him to leave the bag to make the catch, and Erceg crossed the dish for the deciding run. "For me, leading off the bottom of the 10th, my only job and only mindset was to just get on base, no matter what," said Erceg, who is now hitting .405. "Then we had really good team execution with (Nathan Rodriguez's) sac bunt and (Wes Wilson's) sac fly. Great fundamentals there." Erceg, who registered his fifth steal of the season, also scored the Brewers' other run after advancing from third when Orimoloye was walked with the bases loaded in the first inning. This was Erceg's 11th multi-hit game in 17 outings. "I've just been working with my hitting coach (Liu Rodriguez), and he's basically just been telling me to stick with my approach and stick with the process, because that's all it is as a hitter," Erceg said. Helena (10-12) stranded 10 runners in a game that saw the Mustangs (12-10) use seven pitchers. The Brewers used just one hurler through six innings, Jordan Desguin, who threw a gem. The 6-foot-1, 205-pound right-hander from Florida Gulf Coast University didn't yield a run, gave up just four hits, one walk and struck out seven. When Desguin sat down in the seventh, reliever Wuilder Rodriguez gave up consecutive base hits, an error in center field giving the Mustangs their lone run. Rodriguez settled down and earned the win after giving up four hits in four innings with no walks and two strikeouts. Billings was paced by shortstop Hector Vargas' 2 for 4 night and by starting pitcher Andrew Jordan, who gave up just one run and two hits in 4 2/3 innings. Helena Box Score Wow, not a single earned run through ten innings for the dynamic Desguin/Rodriguez duo this evening; Helena Game Log Brewers only 1-for-4 in SB attempts...

Ha, the Trey Supak mystery deepens...
