By the way, another beautiful backdrop, this one in Orem, Utah... Orem Bottom of the 4th Ranyelmy Mendoza lines out to left fielder Troy Stokes. Alex Abbott singles on a fly ball to center fielder Monte Harrison. Helena Brewers center fielder Monte Harrison left the game due to an injured chest. Defensive Substitution: Omar Cotto replaces center fielder Monte Harrison, batting 2nd, playing right field. Defensive switch from right field to center field for Carlos Belonis. Tanner Lubach singles on a line drive to left fielder Troy Stokes. Alex Abbott to 2nd. Kenny Towns lines out to right fielder Omar Cotto. Kyle Survance Jr grounds out to first baseman Steven Karkenny. MILB.TV for subscribers: Go to the one hour, three minute mark -- Harrison dove forward for the ball, couldn't come up with it, and immediately started reaching for his back while rolling on his belly. Of course, staff immediately rushed out. With Doug Melvin in the ballpark, Harrison would make it to his knees after a few minutes and then eventually stood up. Harrison then started stretching out his torso, but was lifted, walking off on his own. As noted earlier, certainly seems "precautionary", and that a major injury was averted. Also, you get to watch Marcos Diplan for four innings, subscribers...

Final: Oklahoma City 7, Colorado Springs 3 OKC Pulls Away Late In Sox 7-3 Loss Colorado Springs' Offense Can't Keep Up as Dodgers Secure Series Win By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/5/1/8/125047518/cuts/05_17_057sm_pk_dk8wk6wp_qxhyg32p.jpg Logan Schafer scored the Sox first run in the fourth before driving in a run of his own on a sac fly in the sixth in Colorado Springs' 7-3 loss. (Photo by Paat Kelly) COLORADO SPRINGS, CO - The Sox battled the Dodgers in a tight contest early until OKC took advantage of the Colorado Springs bullpen in the latter frames in a 7-3 loss before a Saturday night crowd of 6,993 at Security Service Field. Sox starter Josh Roenicke (4-7, 5.63) allowed three runs on nine hits while striking out two and walking none over a solid 5.2 innings of work. After a 1-2-3 first inning, Roenicke would begin the second by giving up back-to-back solo blasts to OKC's four-five combination of Chris Heisey and Andy Wilkins before settling down to work out of the inning with his team trailing 2-0. Colorado Springs scratched their first run across in the home fourth against Dodgers starter Zach Lee (6-3, 2.34). Logan Schafer led off the inning with a double before moving to third on a Jason Rogers single in the next at-bat. Lee followed by getting Matt Dominguez to ground into a run-scoring 6-4-3 double play, allowing Schafer to scurry home from third to cut the Oklahoma City lead to one after four innings of play. Both starters tossed scoreless fifth frames with Lee departing at the inning's conclusion. The recently re-activated Dodgers prospect allowed just the one run on six hits and a walk while striking out one in his five impressive innings of work. Roenicke gave up his final run in the sixth, serving up back-to-back singles by second-inning tormentors Heisey and Wilkins to leadoff the frame before O'Koyea Dickson drilled a one out double to deep center that scored Heisey from second. Wilkins would have crossed the plate too had it not been for an excellent 8-6-2 relay started by Schafer to nab the corner infielder at home for the second out of the inning. Roenicke departed after the defensive gem with a runner on, handing the ball off to Austin Ross who would induce a 6-3 groundout to end the scoring threat and send the Sox into the home half of the sixth trailing 3-1. Elian Herrera would ensure that Colorado Springs answered quickly in the home sixth as the second baseman drilled a leadoff triple to right-center off of Dodger reliever Daniel Coulombe. Schafer immediately followed with an RBI sacrifice fly to center, cutting the OKC lead to 3-2 through six. The Dodger lineup would break through for two more in the seventh to begin the late-inning separation. Ross allowed back-to-back RBI doubles to Crawford and Corey Seager after issuing a one-out walk to Sweeney. The Dodgers held their new 5-2 lead heading into the home eighth where the Sox would tally their final run of the night. Ramon Troncoso took over on the mound for OKC in the eighth after two innings of work for the lefty Coulombe. Pinch-hitter Bryan Petersen led off with a single before coming around to score on a Jason Rogers two-out RBI base knock to pull Colorado Springs within two. David Goforth's scoreless eighth led to Jaye Chapman toeing the rubber in the ninth. The right-hander would allow two hits and a walk to open the frame, though Darnell Sweeney's leadoff double was likely misplayed in the outfield, with Carl Crawford collecting an RBI single and Wilkins adding to a strong night with his second RBI on a sac fly. OKC took a 7-3 lead by the end of the frame; one they would not relinquish as Ryan Buchter closed out the ninth to end the ballgame. Colorado Springs collected 11 total hits with Herrera, Rogers and Dominguez each recording multi-hit nights. The 2-5 hitters in the OKC lineup combined to go 8-for-18 with six RBIs and five runs scored helping the Dodger improve to 56-31 on the season. The Sky Sox fall to 33-54 with the loss. The Sox will look to close out this tough homestand with on a positive note on Sunday afternoon as they wrap up their five-game set with these same Dodgers. Hiram Burgos (1-1, 4.87) leads the way on a special Grateful Dead Day against OKC lefty Rudy Owens (0-2, 3.78) with first pitch set for 1:35 PM (2:35 Central) from Security Service Field.

From the Daily Herald in Utah - Helena Game Story, guess there was an injury for the Owlz as well.

Final: Orem 6, Helena 2 Owlz take series opener 6-2 Helena Brewers The Helena Brewers (8-12) dropped their series opener with the Orem Owlz (16-8) at Brent Brown Ballpark by a score of 6-2 on Saturday night. The Owlz took an early lead with a run in the bottom of the first. Hutton Moyer hit a solo home run to left off Marcos Diplan, his third round-tripper this year. Diplan would pitch four innings, giving up two runs and five hits while striking out two. He would not receive a decision. Trailing 2-0 going to the third, the Brewers would tie it up when Monte Harrison smacked a two-RBI single to score Jose Cuas and Milan Post. It was Harrison's fifth hit in two days. Harrison would have to leave the game in the bottom of the fourth due to injury. Sliding for a liner in center, he injured his lower back and was pulled from the game for precautionary reasons. Omar Cotto would play the remainder of the game in his place. The rest of the way belonged to the Owlz, as they scored four unanswered runs in the victory. Kyle Survance went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base. He now has 13 stolen bases this season to take back the Pioneer League lead in steals. Southpaw Jake Drossner (0-1) 910th round, 2015) entered the game in the fifth with a 2-2 tie, and pitched three innings of relief. He gave up four runs (two earned) on four hits and struck out two. It was his first professional decision. The Brewers and Owlz will face off in the second game of their three-game series Sunday at Brent Brown Ballpark. First pitch is set for 4:15 PM (5:15 Central). Helena Box Score RHP Marcos Diplan has been "OK", actually pretty steady for his 18-year-old season (first stateside). David Denson, again at DH, walked twice (seven vs. 47 Helena AB's). Helena Game Log Carlos Belonis was charged with two errors on this play -- I'll try to find it on the MiLB.TV archive later on to see just what happened here... Orem Bottom of the 6th Ranyelmy Mendoza grounds out, shortstop Jake Gatewood to first baseman Steven Karkenny. Alex Abbott reaches on a fielding error by center fielder Carlos Belonis.

Via the Shuck Dynasty Blog -- "Hitting Coach Sandy Guerrero will be in on the All-Star festivities as he has agreed again to pitch to Texas Rangers’ slugger Prince Fielder. The two are longtime friends and won the 2009 Derby in St. Louis and again at Kansas City in 2012." AUDIO: Listen to Chris Harris' conversation with Guerrero on getting to pitch to Prince Fielder again on Monday in Cincinnati.

Stephen Peterson came on in relief and stopped the bleeding. Peterson tossed 3.1 scoreless innings and recorded four strikeouts. *** Sometimes an organization has to reward guys just because it's right, and the non-drafted lefty Peterson is 27, is in the midst of his third full season at Brevard, and it's time to bump him into the Biloxi mix, after a younger southpaw, Trevor Seidenberger, had his chance earlier and is back with the Sea Cows. Peterson has had a very consistent run in the organization.

Most likely, the DSL Brewers will also complete this June 20th game while they are in the Red Sox complex tonight. It was suspended with the Brewers batting in the top of the 3rd, up 3-1. Speaking of suspended, one player you won't see back in that lineup from the 20th is OF Ariel Estades, which you read about in our Transaction Thread Friday.
