Final: Colorado Springs 5, El Paso 1 Suter Masters Chihuahuas In Sox 5-1 Win Matt Dominguez's Two-Run Blast All Southpaw Needs to Defeat El Paso By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/8/7/4/144220874/cuts/08_19_030sm_pk_5iedssf2_y15mlel9.jpg Brent Suter held the El Paso offense to just four hits and a walk over six shutout frames to earn his third Sky Sox win in the 5-1 contest. (File Photo from prior game by Paat Kelly) The Sky Sox won their second straight contest behind strong pitching and timely hitting in a 5-1 defeat of the El Paso Chihuahuas before a Monday night crowd of 6,872 at Southwest University Park. Colorado Springs starter Brent Suter (3-0, 2.59) continued to impress in his fourth start since joining the team from Double-A Biloxi at the end of July. The Sox southpaw would completely shut down the Chihuahuas offense, allowing just four hits and a walk while striking out five over six sparkling innings of work. El Paso starter Daniel McCutchen (8-7, 3.80) gave his team a solid effort as he surrendered two runs on one glaring mistake over five frames. The right-hander struck out five and walked none while serving up five hits; the biggest coming on a Matt Dominguez two-out, two-run blast in the top of the second inning. The third baseman's seventh long ball of the season gave the Sox an early two-run lead and would prove to be the only offense they would need. The Chihuahuas offense put their lone run on the board in the home seventh when Will Middlebrooks' two-out RBI double off of Brandon Kintzler allowed Cody Decker to cross the plate. The late run cut El Paso's deficit to just one after seven innings of play as the Sox looked to add a little insure in the latter frames. After being held scoreless since Dominguez's second-inning homer by a combination of right-handers McCutchen, Nick Vincent and Dale Thayer, Colorado Springs would break through for three runs in the ninth against Jerry Sullivan. The fourth Chihuahuas righty gave up four hits in his lone inning of work, giving up a big two-run double to pinch-hitter Brandon Macias before Kyle Wren followed with a run-scoring knock of his own. Now holding a far more comfortable 5-1 lead heading to the home ninth, the Sky Sox deployed trusty closer Jaye Chapman to close out the Chihuahuas ninth for the second straight night. Chapman worked a perfect final frame to secure Colorado Springs' 5-1 win in El Paso. The Sky Sox improve to 55-74 with the strong team win as they drop El Paso to 69-60 on the season. Colorado Springs will look to keep rolling as they seek their third consecutive win on Tuesday night in game three of this four-game set in El Paso. Hiram Burgos (2-3, 3.50) leads the way for the Sky Sox against a to be named Chihuahuas starter with first pitch set for 7:05 PM MDT (8:05 Central) from Southwest University Park. *** C'mon, Hector Gomez, can't treat Luis Sardinas like this: http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site525/2015/0824/20150824__EPT-L-Chihuahuas-0825~p2.jpg Colorado Springs Box Score Five Sky Sox with multiple hits, including Pete Orr with three, take a peek...

Final: Helena 3, Great Falls 2 Walk-off gives Brewers sweep Helena Brewers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/6/2/2/145197622/cuts/Carlos_Belonis_h2hdoane_v0qcthap.jpg The Helena Brewers (8-16) swept the Great Falls Voyagers (12-12) on Monday with a 3-2 walk-off win at Kindrick Field. Pitching dominated a majority of the game for both sides as Conor Harber and Lucas Shearrow each turned in solid starts. Harber, making just his second start in professional baseball, went four innings for the Brewers, giving up just one run on three hits. Johan Cruz gave the Voyagers the first lead of the game, hitting a solo home run in the fourth. It was his second homer of the series. The Brewers then tied it up in the fifth when Milan Post came up with an RBI single to score Yerison Pena. J.B. Kole threw three solid innings of solid relief following Harber, not allowing a run and just one hit. He would strike out one and walk one batter. Helena then grabbed their first lead of the night in the seventh when Mitch Ghelfi led off with a walk and scored on a wild pitch. Ghelfi would score two of Helena's three runs Monday night. Alex Farina (1-2) gave up an unearned run in the eighth to tie the game back up at 2-2. The Brewers infield committed two errors behind him to allow Grant Massey to score after a leadoff single. Ghelfi led off the bottom of the ninth with a double off Danny Dopico (2-3). He advanced to third on a wild pitch in the next at-bat. Dopico was able to record two outs in the inning, but could not get through Carlos Belonis. Belonis (pictured above) came up with the bases loaded and two outs to single to left and finish the game. It was Helena's third walk-off of the season. The Brewers now head to Missoula to take on the Osprey in a two-game series. First pitch on Tuesday is set for 7:05 PM (8:05 Central).

Brewers announced four releases -- Veteran LHP Brent Leach, 32, missed most of 2015 and had just completed an injury rehab in Maryvale. This was Leach's 3rd year in the Brewer chain, with 2014 being his most effective. Three DSL Brewers were released upon the end of the summer season Saturday. LHP Isaac Silva, 22, posted a scary WHIP of 3.00 in 15 relief outings this summer. He had spent the prior three seasons in the Cardinals' organization, including stateside in '13-'14. RHP Yan De La Cruz, 20, was a free agent signing this spring after two seasons on the island in the Phillies system. Catcher Dilson Fernandez, 21, saw action in 49 games over the past two DSL seasons.

The Maryvale Brewers have stolen nine bases in nine attempts tonight -- through three innings.

All-Encompassing By Bob Brainerd Everything is bigger in Texas. So goes the famous expression of the folks hailing from the second largest state in America. Wisconsin Timber Rattlers Shortstop Blake Allemand could easily justify requesting a refund. While the roster lists Allemand at 5 foot 10 inches on a 170 pound frame, nowhere does it document the size of his heart. Full article at link; also posted in our season-long Timber Rattlers feature article archive thread...

Brewers promote Denson, Gatewood Milwaukee sends No. 13, 27 prospects back to Class A Wisconsin By Danny Wild / MiLB.com http://www.milb.com/assets/images/9/5/8/145127958/cuts/Jake_Gatewood_2gjoj8d3_l6wdi86x.jpg Jake Gatewood is batting .400 with a homer and eight RBIs in his last 10 games. (Paul R. Gierhart/MiLB.com) The Brewers promoted prospects Jake Gatewood and David Denson on Monday, sending both infielders to the Class A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Gatewood, the Brewers' No. 13 prospect returns to the Timber Rattlers after the shortstop was reassigned to Rookie-level Helena on June 12. Denson, Milwaukee's No. 27 prospect, who made national headlines earlier this month, also heads back to Wisconsin after the Brewers sent him down to the Pioneer League on May 11. Denson, 20, was hitting .242 with six homers, 25 RBIs, five steals and a .340 on-base percentage in 51 games for the Helena Brewers after batting .195 with a homer and eight RBIs in 24 games with Wisconsin earlier this year. Gatewood, 19, hit .274 with six homers, 41 RBIs, 23 doubles and a .331 OBP in 54 games at Helena after batting .227 with a pair of home runs and 10 RBIs in 40 games for Wisconsin to start the year. The 6-foot-5 infielder was the Brewers' Competitive Balance Round A selection in 2014 and hit .203 with 32 RBIs in 50 games last year. Denson has penned a memorable third professional season after Milwaukee selected him in the 15th round of the 2013 Draft. He started a triple play on July 22, was named the MVP of the first Northwest-Pioneer League All-Star Game on Aug. 4 after hitting a pinch-hit homer and recorded his second two-homer game of the season on Aug. 22. In an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Aug. 15, he revealed he is gay, making him the the first Minor or Major League Baseball player to publicly do so while still active. Gatewood, batting .400 with eight RBIs in his last 10 games, has produced a handful of big games this season, going a career-best 4-for-5 on Aug. 15 and homering on consecutive days July 17-18. He missed about two weeks on the disabled list in early May.
