Link Report for Wednesday 5/27

Biloxi rallies in 46th consecutive game away from home by David Paschall, Chattanooga Times Free Press Wednesday night at AT&T Field marked the 46th game of the season for the Biloxi Shuckers, and it was their 46th contest away from home. The Shuckers are the newest member of the Southern League, having relocated after competing last season as the Huntsville Stars. Groundbreaking for Biloxi's future home, MGM Park, took place in January 2014, but the facility has not been completed, forcing its tenants to log mile after mile on bus trips. "It hasn't been terrible," said Shuckers center fielder Kyle Wren, the son of former Atlanta Braves general manager Frank Wren. "We're in Double-A, so we get to stay in decent hotels, and the stadiums are nicer. The biggest thing is that our team has just taken this head on, and we've got a really positive outlook on it. "I think our team has handled it really well, which has made it easier." Biloxi's road resiliency continued with an 8-6 win over the Chattanooga Lookouts that was decided on Tyrone Taylor's 10th-inning double that scored Wren and Nathan Orf. The Lookouts grabbed a 6-1 lead after four innings, getting a Stuart Turner home run over the center-field wall in the fourth, followed by Byron Buxton's inside-the-park homer to center. Chattanooga dropped to 28-17, while Biloxi improved to 28-18 after the first of five meetings between the league's two division leaders. The Shuckers received disappointing news before Wednesday's game, when Biloxi mayor Andrew Gilich announced that the target date of the park's opening on June 6 would not be met. The team went into this season knowing its first 55 games would be on the road, but Biloxi's home opener now won't be until the second half of the 140-game league season. "It's been challenging, and getting today's news is a little hard to deal with, but it's not going to affect us out here," Biloxi right fielder Michael Reed said. "We're going to play our hardest whether we've got the home-field advantage or not. We don't have to pay for rent and we get meal money, so there are perks, but obviously we would like to have a home and have our trucks." Said Wren: "That was the date we had been waiting on since spring training, but we're going to keep doing the same things we've been doing in the first 45 games." Gilich said it would cost an extra $380,000 to open MGM Park on June 6 and that he did not want to burden the taxpayers, particularly with no guarantees it would be ready. The target date is now any date before Aug. 4. Chattanooga players respect what their Shuckers counterparts have accomplished so far but would not want to trade places. "That would be a bummer," Lookouts right fielder Travis Harrison said. "I'm sure they're learning to deal with it, but personally I love coming home and playing in front of home crowds. For them not to get to experience that is pretty tough." ESPN has featured Biloxi's journey on some SportsCenter segments, and the team has been featured in ESPN The Magazine as well. "That part has been pretty cool," Reed said. "We've enjoyed that." -

Link Report for Wednesday 5/27
Jim Goulart replied to Jim Goulart's topic in Brewers Minor League Talk
Final: Biloxi 8, Chattanooga 6, ten innings Shuckers rally from five down to take down Lookouts in extras Biloxi wins series opener and gets six scoreless from bullpen Biloxi Shuckers http://www.milb.com/assets/images/6/0/8/127107608/cuts/_BRP6309_5xms23n5_zbpx6kxk.jpg Damien Magnifico worked the final 1.1 innings on Wednesday to pick up his first Double-A win (Benton Reed Photography) CHATTANOOGA, TN. - What else would you expect in game one between the two best teams in the Southern League? The Biloxi Shuckers erased a five-run deficit to force extra innings and steal a win from the Chattanooga Lookouts on Wednesday night at AT&T Field. The Shuckers chipped away at a 6-1 deficit and eventually went ahead thanks to Tyrone Taylor's two out, two-run double in the top of the 10th. The Shuckers record improved to 2-3 in extra-inning games and match Chattanooga with 28 wins on the season, the most in the Southern League. A leadoff walk to Nathan Orf (1x4, 2 R, BB) in the 10th put the go-ahead run on base for the Shuckers. Adam Weisenburger's (0x3, R, BB) sacrifice bunt moved the runner into scoring position. Kyle Wren (2x5, RBI, R, BB) drew a walk one out later to keep the inning alive for the red hot Taylor (2x6, 2 RBI, 2B). The Shuckers' left fielder worked a 3-2 count and roped a double into right field to score both runners and give Biloxi its first lead of the night. "I was looking for a fastball in," said Taylor of his 3-2 pitch from Chattanooga reliever Madison Baur. "He had been working me away and I grinded the at-bat to full and then was able to come through for the team." Taylor is batting .364 in his last 10 games and has upped his average to .280 on the season. Chattanooga (28-17) got on the board early in the first on a RBI single by Travis Harrison to bring in Jorge Polanco, giving the Lookouts a 1-0 lead. Orlando Arcia's (3x6, HR, 2 RBI, R) third long ball of the season tied the game at one in the top of the third. The Lookouts responded with a run of their own in the bottom-half of the inning on a RBI groundout by Miguel Sano to plate Twins' top-rated prospect Byron Buxton. Chattanooga used two home runs in the fourth to open up a four-run lead, including the first ever inside-the-park home run against the Shuckers by Buxton. Starting pitcher Jorge Lopez lasted just four innings and allowed six runs on nine hits with a walk and three strikeouts on 79 pitches. The Shuckers chipped away at the five-run deficit with a run in the fifth when Arcia doubled home Nick Shaw (1x4, RBI, R) with two outs, and took a bigger chunk out of the 6-2 hole with a three-run sixth. Michael Reed (2x4, 2B, BB) struck out to start the inning, but a single to Orf, sandwiched between walks to Taylor Green (3x2, RBI, R, BB) and Weisenburger loaded the bases for Shaw, who lifted a sacrifice fly to center to bring in the first run of the inning. Wren laced a single to left to bring in Orf, with Weisenburger coming in to score on an error by the left fielder Adam Brett Walker. Green tied the game in the seventh on a sacrifice fly to center to bring in Nick Ramirez (2x6, R). The Shuckers first baseman extended hit on-base streak to 15 games with a single in the seventh. Biloxi's (28-18) bullpen held strong in the fifth through ninth innings, using a combination of Jacob Barnes (2.0 IP, H, 4 SO), Austin Ross (IP, H, SO), Mike Strong (1x2 IP, 2 H, SO) and Damien Magnifico (W, 1-0, 1.1, H, 2 SO). Magnifico allowed a one-out single to defending Southern League offensive player of the week Max Kepler, but got Brett Walker and Mike Gonzalez on strikes to end the game and complete the comeback. RHP Brooks Hall (4-2, 3.92) will seek out his second win in the month of May after picking up three in April. The Milwaukee Brewers' reigning pitcher of the month will face off against LHP David Hurlbut (0-1, 21.00), who will be making his second start of the season for the Lookouts. First pitch is scheduled for 6:15 PM, with coverage beginning at 6:00 on 1240-AM WGCM, 1580-AM WPMO and the Biloxi Shuckers Radio Network. Fans can also listen to the game using the TuneIn Radio app or by going to www.biloxishuckers.com. Biloxi Box Score Wow, what fun! Look, outside of Jorge Lopez' rare night off based on recent efforts, the entire box and log is a feast for the eyes, so enjoy. Anybody have an issue with Kyle Wren playing CF and Tyrone Taylor LF? Let the Michael Brantley comparisons continue for Taylor... Biloxi Game Log -

Final: Colorado Springs 11, Las Vegas 1 Cards Fall Sox Way In Dominant 11-1 Vegas Win Sox Back Cravy's Shutdown Performance with Relentless Offensive Attack By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/4/7/2/118152472/cuts/04_13_002sm_pk_45qxsop8_jtkk4rc7.jpg Tyler Cravy helped his own cause with an RBI double in the Sox 11-1 win, tossing eight innings of one-run ball along the way. (File Photo from prior game by Paat Kelly) The Sky Sox performance on Wednesday night proved that a day can make all of the difference as they responded to Tuesday night's 9-1 loss with a resounding 11-1 defeat of the same Las Vegas 51s before a crowd of 2,182 at Cashman Field. The Colorado Springs offense would get off to a fast start, giving themselves all of the runs they would ultimately need in a three-run top of the first. The Sox knocked two singles off of 51s starter Tyler Pill (1-2, 7.04) to open the ballgame before consecutive, two-out RBI doubles by Matt Clark and Pete Orr gave their club a quick two-run lead. Yadiel Rivera followed with an RBI single, plating Clark to round out the frame's scoring. In fact, the Sox would score seven runs through the game's first four innings with at least one runner crossing the plate in each. Nevin Ashley's two-run shot in the second and Cravy's own two-out RBI double in the third highlighted the offensive attack over that span. The Sky Sox, further turning the tables on Las Vegas, would be provided a far better result by their starting pitcher. Cravy (5-4, 4.04) turned in what would be the strongest outing by a Sky Sox starter this season to lead the way. The right-hander allowed just one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five over eight sparkling frames. Cravy's lone run allowed came in the 51s fourth, giving up a walk to Wilfredo Tovar and a double to Alex Castellanos that would lead to a Brandon Allen sacrifice fly. Cravy bounced right back, striking out Travis Taijeron to end the frame and extinguish Las Vegas' threat. While the 51s would not score another run, the Sox would tack on four more before the night was through. Colorado Springs would earn three of the four runs against relievers Scott Rice and Chase Bradford in the game's final two frames. The unearned run would be charged to righty Zach Thornton in his one inning of work. RBI singles from Ashley in the eighth and Scooter Gennett and Chris Nelson in the ninth capped the Sox scoring with the 19-hit offensive onslaught giving the team 11 runs on the game. Colorado Springs' field day at the plate saw every hitter with an at-bat notch at least one hit with six recording multi-hit games. The top of the order: Gennett, Logan Schafer and Ashley combined for nine hits, five runs and four RBIs. Even more impressive than these stats is the fact that every Sox starter, with the exception of Cravy, scored at least one run in the complete team effort. Jed Bradley would relieve Cravy in the ninth after the starter threw 97 pitches in his eight innings. The left-handed Bradley would set down the heart of the Las Vegas lineup in order to close out the 11-1 Sky Sox win. The Sox will look to earn a series-split on Thursday night in the finale of this four-game set with the Mets' top minor league affiliate. Taylor Jungmann (1-2, 6.90) matches up with 51s righty Matt Bowman (2-5, 6.98) tomorrow at Cashman Field in Las Vegas. First pitch is slated for 8:05 PM MDT (7:05 Central). Colorado Springs Box Score Good timing as of late for Tyler Cravy -- will his next start be Monday night in St. Louis? I haven't been online since the Brewers' matinee ended, so I'm unaware of the buzz on the mystery rotation callup. It won't be Taylor Jungmann, who as you just read, starts tonight. The "safe" choice would be Tyler Thornburg, who would normally pitch Saturday, but could push Matt Garza out a day and pitch vs. the Diamondbacks instead, but that doesn't mean Cravy isn't more deserving, and a 40-man roster spot is open. Nevin Ashley, you rock, catcher-dude -- .322/.383/.496 (.878 OPS), but hey, you're no Martin Maldonado...sigh. Colorado Springs Game Log -

Stone Crabs' Early Assault Sparks Rout By Jerry Durney / Brevard County Manatees http://www.milb.com/assets/images/1/8/0/126927180/cuts/McFarland_off_balance_947gwpxe_2bf2co37.JPG 2B Chris McFarland, pictured above, collected two hits and an RBI in Tuesday nights's loss. (Dennis Greenblatt/Hawk-Eye Sports Photography) Viera, Fla. - Three runs in the third and fourth inning gave the Charlotte Stone Crabs (31-14) all the fuel they needed to add to their league-leading tally as they eased to a 7-3 series-opening victory over the Brevard County Manatees (18-26) on Tuesday night. The first of the two deciding frames started with a double down the right field line by Pat Blair. He would come around to score on a base hit to center by Yoel Araujo. The wheels were kept in motion when Dayron Varona, who had just been added to the Stone Crabs roster earlier in the day, singled to left. Kean Wong then dropped a potential sacrifice bunt in front of the mound but Manatees pitcher Wei-Chung Wang didn't field the ball cleanly, allowing Wong to reach and loading the bases for Willy Adames. Adames roped a ball into center, plating Araujo and Varona as Omar Garcia's throw instead went to third base, cutting down Wong in the process. Wang recovered by striking out Bauers and coaxing out a groundout from Granden Goetzman. Charlotte put the game out of sight the following inning, which started with a one-out base hit by Armando Araiza. Blair then followed suit and after an Araujo strikeout, Varona tripled to deep center to bring home both runners. Wong then hit a little dribbler in front of the plate, which Cameron Garfield was able to pick up and nearly threw Wong out at first from his knees but it was ruled that Garrett Cooper bobbled the ball as Varona scored for the final run of the inning. After Jake Bauers led off the top of the seventh with a deep blast to right off of Stephen Peterson for his fifth home run of the season, the 'Tees were able to do some salvaging. The inning started with a Jose Pena single to center, who moved up to second when Garfield grounded out to short. Angel Ortega then legged out an infield single to put runners at the corners for Garcia. He slapped a single into right to bring home Pena for the first Manatee run. Brevard County would get a bit of fortune soon after that as Stone Crab reliever Jordan Harrison would be called for a balk, which scored Ortega and moved Garcia to second. Chris McFarland then singled to center, which scored Garcia but McFarland would be caught trying to stretch for a double, eventually being tagged out in a rundown by Adames. Over the course of the final two innings, the Manatees managed just one baserunner. The Stone Crabs were led by six shutout innings from Chris Kirsch, who gave up six hits, struck out five and walked none for his third victory of the year. For Brevard County, Wang was unable to maintain momentum after picking up his second win of the season last Wednesday. Over five innings, Wang gave up six runs on eight hits while walking two and striking out three. At the plate, McFarland recorded his 14th multi-hit game of the month. The Manatees will look to even the four-game series on Wednesday night at 6:35 PM (5:35 Central) as RHP Brandon Woodruff (1-1, 4.38 ERA) will get the start against RHP Jacob Faria (7-1, 1.55 ERA).

Final: Las Vegas 9, Colorado Springs 1 Five-Run First, Sluggish Offense Doom Sox Colorado Springs Collects Just Five Hits In 9-1 Loss By Ed Pearsall / Colorado Springs Sky Sox http://www.milb.com/assets/images/2/3/4/118613234/cuts/04_10_043_pk_78vyjupe_4pd1s2yc.jpg Shane Peterson's eighth inning RBI single gave the Sox their lone run in Tuesday night's 9-1 loss in Las Vegas. (File Photo from prior game by Paat Kelly) Colorado Springs could not overcome an early five-run deficit as the Sox offense mustered only five hits in their 9-1 loss to the 51s before a Tuesday night crowd of 2,067 at Cashman Field in Las Vegas. Following up teammate Duane Below's complete game on Monday, 51s left-hander Steven Matz (6-2, 1.99) would not disappoint the home crowd. Matz tossed seven scoreless frames, allowing just three hits and a walk while striking out seven Sky Sox batters. Sox starter Drew Gagnon (1-6, 7.78) would not fare nearly as well, giving up five runs on three hits, a walk and hit-by-pitch in the first before settling down a bit. In his 4.2 innings of work, Gagnon would allow a total of seven runs on eight hits and four walks and a strikeout. Colorado Springs tallied their lone run of the ballgame in the top of the eighth against Las Vegas reliever Logan Verrett. The right-hander would allow a base-hit to pinch-hitter Pete Orr, allowing him to reach second on a wild pitch to Scooter Gennett. Chris Nelson followed Gennett's strikeout with a walk before Shane Peterson drove Orr home with an RBI single. Ariel Pena and Michael Kirkman combined for 2.1 perfect innings of relief following Gagnon's shaky start before giving way to Jim Henderson in the eighth. The former Brewers closer wound allow two runs in his lone frame, giving up two hits and a walk in the process. The 51s took a 9-1 lead into the top of the ninth with righty Jon Velasquez taking over on the mound. Velasquez would retire the Sox side in order to nail down the Las Vegas win, sending Colorado Springs to their third-consecutive loss in which they allowed nine runs. With the loss, the Sky Sox fall to 16-28 on the season as the 51s improve to 29-17. Colorado Springs will look to get back in the series in game three on this four-game set with the 51s on Wednesday night. Tyler Cravy (4-4, 4.61) is set to face off with fellow right-hander Tyler Pill (1-1, 6.21) at 8:05 PM MDT (9:05 Central) from Cashman Field in Las Vegas. Colorado Springs Box Score Give Biloxi the night off and this is the Link Report you get; with subpar career peripherals, hopes by most were at best cautious for RHP Drew Gagnon heading into the year; Scooter Gennett's three K's were actually his first three with the Sky Sox (24 AB's); I pointed out on Twitter last night that this was Matt Clark's first outfield stint in 2015 (left field); Yadiel Rivera had the club's lone XBH, a double...
