Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The offense was quiet across the system on Tuesday, as only Biloxi managed to score more than four runs across the four games. However, Nashville made the most of their hits in a walk-off winner, and a 2026 draft pick came up clutch for Wisconsin. Back in Biloxi, the Shuckers' offense was back on the gas, with Andrew Fischer in the driver's seat once again. Rylan Mills starred for Wilson in their defeat.

Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Nashville 3, Louisville (Reds) 2 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Tyler Black Walks Off Bats in Series Opener - Black is the 6th different Sound to record a walk off this season Nashville didn’t muster much offense on Tuesday, but they made the most of their four hits on their way to a thrilling walk-off victory. The Sounds’ first 17 hitters of the game were retired in order before Eduardo Garcia drew a two out walk in the 6th inning. Garcia then stole second and came around to score on Brandon Lockridge’s single to give the Sounds a 1-0 lead. The Sounds pitching staff was not perfect, but the combination of Thomas Pannone (4IP 5K), Lyon Richardson (2IP 2K), Brett Wichrowski (.1IP) and Gerson Garabito managed to make the 1-0 lead hold up all the way until the 8th inning. Then a soft infield single and a long ball put Louisville in front for the first time at 2-1. The Sounds couldn’t rally in the 8th and it looked like they might be in for heartbreak. After Jared Koenig delivered a scoreless 9th, the Sounds came up clutch in their final at-bat to steal the victory. Brock Wilken led off with a single. Blake Burke drew a walk. After an Akil Baddoo strikeout, Jeferson Quero put the runners into scoring position on a ground out to set the stage for Tyler Black. Black ripped a 2-1 cutter into the gap, just out of the reach of the diving centerfielder to give Nashville the victory. Here’s the winner, courtesy of the Sounds’ X account: It was a nice moment for the 26-year-old Black, who sported a .311/.441/.473 slash line in August. Nashville improves to 72-60 on the season with the win. Wednesday’s starter is TBD. Biloxi 8, Birmingham (White Sox) 7 Box Score Fischer Blasts 43rd Home Run, Shuckers Clinch Winning Record at Home with Win - Brewers No. 5 prospect pulls into tie for 11th-most home runs in a minor league season Biloxi erased an early three-run deficit and outlasted Birmingham, 8-7, on Tuesday night. After falling behind 3-0 in the first inning, Biloxi answered immediately with Andrew Fischer's two-run homer, his 23rd of the season, and 43rd overall: Biloxi then took their first lead in the third on Mike Boeve's two-run double that just missed leaving the yard. The Shuckers collected 10 hits and drew nine walks in the victory, and Fischer paced the offense, going 3-for-4 with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored. Boeve finished 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs. Josh Adamczewski reached base four times and scored four runs, and Matthew Wood added a pair of hits, including the go-ahead RBI single in the eighth inning. On the hill for Biloxi, Josh Knoth made his AA debut and while the results were not there (5IP 4ER 3HR), Shuckers announcer Javik Blake reported that the stuff was looking good: Garrett Hodges earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief, retiring Birmingham over the final two frames to secure the 8-7 comeback victory. After a rough month of August, Biloxi starts September on the right note and improves to 60-63 on the season. Hopefully the Shuckers can find their groove again with the playoffs looming. Manuel Rodriguez (12-4 4.76 ERA) takes the mound for Biloxi on Wednesday Wisconsin pre-game media notes Wisconsin 4, Beloit (Marlins) 2 Box Score Strosnider’s Late Homer Beats Beloit - Wisconsin stops Sky Carp 4-2 Wisconsin kicked off their final series of the season with late inning victory over Beloit on Tuesday thanks to some stellar pitching and a pair of home runs. In the first inning, Juan Ortuno, who was promoted to Wisconsin just this week, homered on the first pitch he saw at the level for a two-run home run. Check out the blast courtesy of Wisconsin’s X account: The 19-year-old Ortuno had just four home runs in 103 games in Wilson prior to his promotion. Ethan Dorchies started on the mound for Wisconsin and pitched well enough to hold serve over the first five innings. Dorchies was tagged for a pair of solo home runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings, but managed to work around some traffic due in part to six strikeouts. Tanner Perry (W, 3-1) came on in relief for Dorchies and kept things knotted at 2-2 with two scoreless innings. Perry was key as the Rattlers’ offense (just four hits, two walks, and 10 strikeouts) was rather fangless much of the evening. That all changed with one swing of the bat from Sawyer Strosnider in the 8th inning as the 2026 2nd round draft belted a two-run home run to give Wisconsin the lead: Bjorn Johnson then came on to close out the game with two scoreless innings to earn his third save of the season. On the night, the Rattlers’ pitching staff combined for 10 strikeouts. Wisconsin is now 66-56 on the season. Miqueas Mercedes (2.81 ERA in 73.2IP with Wilson) will get his first start in High A for the Rattlers on Wednesday. Wilson pre-game media notes Fredericksburg (Nationals) 11, Wilson 3 Box Score Wilson’s final series of the season got off to a tough start, as the playoff-bound Fredericksburg affiliate clobbered the Warbirds early and often. Joey Broughton started on the hill for Wilson and was tagged for seven runs on nine hits in his three innings of work. Broughton also allowed three home runs on his way to his sixth defeat on the season, exiting the game trailing 7-1. Wenderlyn King and Ismael Yanez came on in relief and didn’t fare much better as both hurlers surrendered two runs in two innings of work. Offensively the only highlights for the Warbirds were the home runs from Rylan Mills in the second and fourth innings. Mills now has four home runs and seven RBI in his last five games. The rest of the Warbirds offense managed just two singles and two walks, while striking out 10 times on the evening. In the 9th inning, Frederi Montero drew a bases loaded walk to plate the final run for Wilson. Unfortunately, Jose Anderson and Filippo Di Turi each struck out to leave the bases loaded to end the game It was the seventh consecutive loss for Wilson, who fall to 64-61 on the season. RHP Ma'Kale Holden (1-2, 8.12 ERA in 37.2 IP in ACL play), the 20th round pick in 2025’s draft, will make his Carolina League debut on Wednesday. It’s an early 10AM CT start for Wilson on Wednesday.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic Nashville got contributions up and down the lineup, presenting an interesting question around who may get called up to Milwaukee next week. Biloxi's struggles in the month of August continued. Wisconsin pulled out a narrow victory and Wilson split a doubleheader in which we saw the Ebel brothers combine on a box score oddity. Transactions: Milwaukee Brewers sent LHP JoJo Romero on a rehab assignment to Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Milwaukee Brewers sent RHP Abner Uribe on a rehab assignment to Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. SS Moises Polanco assigned to Wilson Warbirds from ACL Brewers. Game Action: Nashville 14, Jacksonville (Marlins) 6 Box Score No link available for the Sounds' formal game summary, so it is pasted here: Sounds Cruise to Fourth Straight Win Tyler Black Goes 3-for-4 with Three RBI JACKSONVILLE, FL – Nashville began a six-game series against the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp with a 14-6 win on Tuesday night at VyStar Ballpark. Tyler Black finished the night 3-for-4 with three RBI, falling a single shy of the cycle. The Sounds jumped out to a 14-0 lead with a pair of 5+ run innings and finished the night with 16 hits, including five different multi-hit games, eight extra-base hits, and three home runs to pick up their fourth straight win. Akil Baddoo got the scoring started with a solo home run in the top of the second off Jacksonville starter Brandon White (3.0 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 3 K). The lead grew to seven runs after putting together a six-run third that saw Luke Adams and Black each record RBI triples in the frame. It was the first hit of the night for both, who each ended with 3-hit nights at the plate and combined to go 6-for-9 with four extra-base hits, four RBI, two walks, and three runs scored. Nashville used seven hits in the inning to plate their six runs and batted around before chasing White from the ballgame. Black added to his night with his second extra-base hit, making it a 8-0 advantage with a RBI double in the top of the fifth, scoring Baddoo for a third time after he drew a leadoff walk to start the inning. Nashville was back to work in the top of the sixth and once again sent all nine to the plate in the inning. Each of the first three reached base load the bases for Blake Burke who doubled home a pair of runs to make it 10-0. Baddoo added his third RBI of the night with a sacrifice fly and the first out of the inning. Brock Wilken extended the Nashville lead to 13-0 with his team-leading 14th home run of the season and cap a five-run inning. With position player Gage Miller on the mound for the Jumbo Shrimp in the top of the eighth, Black added his third hit, extra-base hit, and RBI of the night with a one-out solo home run to make it 14-0. Each of the next two batters were retired, making it a tall task to have another at-bat in the top of the ninth needing just a single to complete the cycle. Adams recorded his third hit of the game with a two-out single in the top of the ninth before Burke was retired on strikes - with Black sitting three batters behind in the lineup. Left-hander Colton Gordon worked five scoreless innings on the mound for Nashville as he picked up his first win since being acquired by Milwaukee. He surrendered four hits, struck out four and issued a walk in his outing. Joel Kuhnel tossed a scoreless inning in the sixth in relief before passing the baton to Gerson Garabito. The right-hander breezed through the bottom of the seventh, stranding a two-out single to Matthew Etzel before returning to the mound to begin the eighth. A three-base fielding error for Baddoo started a run of three-straight Jacksonville batters reaching base. Cam Cannarella broke up the shutout bid with a RBI double and would immediately score on a RBI single to make it 14-2. Garabito retired the next two before handing the reins to Garrett Stallings. A single and two-out walk to load the bases followed with Etzel turning a 14-0 Nashville lead entering the inning to a 14-6 ballgame with a grand slam. Blake Holub tossed a 1-2-3 bottom of the ninth, with back-to-back strike outs to start the inning as he spun his sixth straight appearance without an earned run allowed. Nashville continues their two-week road trip with game two of the series against the Jumbo Shrimp on Wednesday night with first pitch slated for 6:05 p.m. RHP Coleman Crow (8-1, 3.13 ERA) is scheduled to get the start for the Sounds. POSTGAME NOTES: THREES COMPANY: Tyler Black finished the night 3-for-4 with 3-RBI, falling a single shy of the cycle to start the series against the Jumbo Shrimp. It was his first three-hit game for Nashville since June 20 and third overall this season, including the first 3-hit MLB game of his professional career on April 28 vs. Arizona. Tuesday night was the first game of his professional career (501 G) with three XBH. He had only previously had 15 games with multiple XBH in the same game entering Tuesday with his last coming during that June 20 performance against Memphis where he finished 3-for-5 with a home run, triple, and RBI. Tuesday's series opener against Jacksonville was his sixth 3+ RBI game this year between Nashville and Milwaukee. Black is hitting .302 (19-for-63) with six XBH and 11 RBI in 18 games in August. He has recorded multi-hit performances in back-to-back games and has a hit in 13 of the 18 games this month. BROCKET POWER: Brock Wilken hit his team-leading 14th home run of the season on Tuesday night in Jacksonville and has three homers in the month of August (19 G). He's putting together his best month of the year, hitting .246 (17-for-69) with eight XBH, 14 RBI, 13 walks, and nine runs scored in August. He's riding a seven-game hitting streak with consecutive multi-hit games and has an XBH in four straight games. With five games remaining in the month, Wilken is looking to finish with the highest AVG in a single month this season after hitting .233 (14-for-60) across his 18 games in June. He ranks T-6th in RBI (71) and walks (75) and sits 7th in doubles (22) in the Brewers farm system this season. 38-of-70 (54%) hits in Triple-A this year for Wilken have gone for XBH. GONE STREAKING: Brock Wilken is leading four different Nashville players riding current hitting streaks of 5+ games after all four recorded a hit on Tuesday night against Jacksonville. Wilken has a hit in seven straight games since August 16, including four straight games with an XBH. Bo Naylor has a hit in each of his last six games (.346 AVG, 3 HR, 9 RBI), Eric Brown Jr. (.438 AVG, HR, RBI) and Ethan Murray (.278 AVG, 2 HR, 4 RBI) each have a hit in five straight. Murray has crossed the plate in each of his last seven games and has reached base in each of his last 10 overall dating back to August 13. Luke Adams is riding an 11-game on-base streak after finishing Tuesday night 3-for-5 with a triple and RBI for his first 3+ hit game since July 10 at Charlotte. After allowing a pair of runs on three hits in his first rehab game with Nashville on August 2 (0.2 IP), Joel Kuhnel has rattled off eight straight scoreless appearances (8.1 IP) on four hits. Right-hander Blake Holub extended his current streak of appearances without an earned run allowed to six straight games and has allowed just two earned runs over his last 19 games since the start of July. *** Nashville pounded Jacksonville into submission on Tuesday night, jumping out to a 14-run lead at one point, on their way to an easy 14-6 victory. As a team, Nashville collected 16 hits, including a whopping eight extra base hits (three doubles, two triples, and three home runs.) Some of the Sounds’ players most likely to get called up to the parent club next week are shone bright in this one. Akil Baddoo opened the scoring with a home run for Nashville. Baddoo, who has been on the Brewers’ 40 man roster all season, also added a two run double and scored three runs. Luke Adams, in his second game back from his most recent injury, was on base four times with three hits, including a triple. Tyler Black also had three hits and a triple. You can check out both players triples here, courtesy of the Sounds’ X account: Brock Wilken hit his 14th home run of the season: Every single player in the Sounds lineup had at least one hit and one run scored. It was a total team effort offensively. On the mound, Colton Gordon had his first scoreless outing with Nashville, and picked up his first win as a member of the Brewers’ organization. Gordon tossed five innings and struck out four. Joel Kuhnel and Blake Holub each tossed scoreless innings in relief as well. Jacksonville did manage to strike for six runs in the 8th inning, including a grand slam, but by then the game was well out of reach. With their 4th consecutive win, Nashville is now 69-57 on the season but looks like a long shot to make a playoff push. With more offense like we saw on Tuesday, perhaps they could chip away at the 5.5 game deficit and make it interesting in September. Biloxi pre-game media notes Knoxville (Cubs) 9, Biloxi 4 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Payne Hits First Double-A Home Run in Shuckers Loss to Knoxville - Brewers No. 2 prospect, Peña, extends hit streak to seven Biloxi’s dreadful month of August continued on Tuesday with a 9-4 defeat to Knoxville. The loss drops Biloxi to 2-19 in the month of August. In what has felt like a common characteristic of many of these losses, the Shuckers fell behind early and did not get enough pitching to keep the game close for their prospect-laden lineup. Knoxville got on the board in the first inning thanks to some batted ball luck. Three balls were sent top prospect Jesus Made’s way in the first and he was not able to corral any of the three for an out. Though none of the plays were necessarily routine, you would like to see your best player come up with one of those balls to get through the opening frame unscathed. However, the Biloxi pitching did not do enough to keep the game competitive from there, issuing nine walks and two HBP to go along with the 14 hits allowed. Jesus Broca gave the Shuckers a shot to tie the game with 2.1 IP scoreless. Unfortunately, the Shuckers offense didn’t have much going, with just six hits in the game. The lone extra base hit was Braylon Payne’s first AA home run, which you can see here courtesy of the Shuckers’ X account: Andrew Fischer had two singles and an RBI sac fly. Despite falling behind early 4-1, the Shuckers managed to tie the game at 4-4 on a balk, but Knoxville immediately responded with a three-run rally the next frame and then added two insurance runs in the 9th to seal the Shuckers’ fate. The Shuckers are the lone Brewers’ affiliate under .500 at 56-61 with the loss. However, they’re also likely to be the only affiliate playing in the playoffs due to their play in the first half. Hopefully the Shuckers can right things in time for the playoffs over the next few weeks. RHP Manuel Rodriguez (11-4, 4.82 ERA) will look to turn the tide on Wednesday when he toes the slab for Biloxi. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Wisconsin 4, South Bend (Cubs) 3 Box Score Rattlers Crack Cubs - Romero and Uribe both toss scoreless innings on rehab assignments from Milwaukee Wisconsin got their penultimate week of the season off to a good start with a tight 4-3 victory over South Bend on Tuesday. After Jojo Romero made his Brewers’ organization debut with a quick 11-pitch first inning, the Rattlers quickly grabbed the lead in the bottom of the frame. Daniel Dickinson and Sawyer Strosnider singled to set the table for Eric Bitonti. Bitonti then roped a double to the deepest part of the field to give the Rattlers an early 2-0 lead. Bitonti has 19 RBI in the month of August, but is still striking out far too often (30K in 77AB). Abner Uribe worked a clean second inning, including snaring a comebacker. Hopefully Uribe doesn’t need many innings to feel healthy again and he can rejoin the big league club soon. After Uribe, Josh Knoth (6IP 7H 3R 2ER 1BB 4K) took over, and despite working around quite a bit of traffic, was just good enough to earn his 5th win of the season. Strosnider paced the Rattlers with a three-hit day and gave the Rattlers the lead for good in the fifth inning with his RBI double. The Brewers’ 2026 2nd round pick now sports a .947 OPS in his first 47 at-bats. Tyler Rodriguez added an important insurance run with a late solo home run in the bottom of the 7th. Tayden Hall had two singles and Luis Castillo drew three walks on the night for the Rattlers. You can see all the highlights here, courtesy of the Rattlers’ YouTube page: Wisconsin improves to 63-53 on the season but are still five games back of a playoff spot. RHP Ethan Dorchies (5-9, 5.10 ERA) has had an up and down month of August. If the trend continues, we should see a bounce-back performance when he takes the mound for Wisconsin on Wednesday. Wilson pre-game media notes Game 1: Wilson 12, Hickory (Rangers) 4 (Completion of July 19 game) Game 2: Hickory 8, Wilson 5, F/7 Warbirds, Crawdads Split Doubleheader - Warbirds Score 12 in Game One Game 1 Box Score Wilson handily won their completion of their July 19 rainout with Hickory in what will live on as a box score oddity. Before rain halted play in July the Warbirds got off to a big six run first inning, sending 10 men to the plate and scoring six runs. Dearly departed Juan Martinez had a two run single, and Handelfry Encarnacion had two hits and a steal in the opening frame. When the game restarted in Tuesday, Brady Ebel was set to lead off with a 2-0 count, but Ebel has since been promoted to Wisconsin, so his younger brother Trey Ebel pinch hit for him and walked. Does it count as the two brothers playing together if they both appeared in the same box score, but not on the field together? That’ll make for a fun trivia question years from now. Article with Trey Ebel quotes via MLB.com - Brewers' 2026 first-rounder Trey Ebel steps in for brother Brady ... a month later Jarrette Bonet started the game for Wilson on the mound and had quite possibly his best start of the season. Bonet scattered three hits across six scoreless innings and struck out eight. The innings and strikeouts matched season-highs for Bonet. This was just the second scoreless outing (aside from 3IP in relief on August 7) for Bonet since May 22. In the fifth inning, the Warbirds added on to their lead with back-to-back home runs from Filippo Di Turi and Rylan Mills to make it 9-0. Check out Di Turi’s homer here, courtesy of the Warbirds X account and Mills' blast at the link earlier in this paragraph: Hayden Robinson came on for Bonet and proceeded to allow a grand slam in the seventh inning but then locked down Hickory the rest of the way. Brailyn Antunez responded in the Wilson 8th with an RBI single and Kyle Jones added a sac fly to make it 12-4 and the Warbirds closed the door on any notion of a comeback. Game 2 Box Score In game two of the doubleheader, Wilson fell behind early and then could never manage to catch up, falling 8-5 in seven innings. Hickory jumped on starter Joey Broughton (3IP 2H 4R 3ER 3BB 3K) for two runs in the first and never looked back. Di Turi cut the lead in half in the second on an RBI single, but Hickory answered with two runs in each of the 4th and 5th to put the game out of reach. Carsten Sabathia III hit a mammoth homer to cut the lead to 4-2. Sabathia has put up some video game numbers (.405 average, 1.158 OPS) in his first 11 professional games. Fellow 2026 draft pick Kyle Jones had the other RBI for Wilson on a single in the 9th to cap the scoring. With the split, Wilson is 64-55 in their inaugural season.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic It was an ugly night across the system for the Brewers' affiliates. Nashville was walked off. Biloxi dropped their 12th straight. Wisconsin lost a close one and Wilson was embarrassed. Sprinkled in, we saw some familiar faces in new places for the second straight week. The silver lining came in the DSL, where regular season play concluded and the DSL Gold squad clinched their division title.

Game Action: Norfolk (Baltimore) 8, Nashville 7 Box Score NOTE: There is currently not an online link available for the Sounds-provided summary, so we provide it directly here: Sounds Walked Off in Norfolk Tyler Black Belts Third Career Grand Slam NORFOLK, VA – Nashville suffered an 8-7 walk-off loss in Norfolk on Tuesday night to open a 12-game road trip. The Sounds tied the game with a ninth inning run but saw the Tides answer with the game-winner in the bottom of inning as Nashville was handed their eighth walk-off loss of the season. Sounds starter Colton Gordon saw Norfolk take a 4-0 lead after two innings and before the Sounds could even get a baserunner aboard off Norfolk starter Nestor German. Gordon loaded the bases in the bottom of the first off a walk, single, and hit batter with the first run of the game scoring via a sacrifice fly. The Tides leadoff batter in the bottom of the second singled his way aboard and advanced into scoring position on a throwing error by Brock Wilken. Gordon battled back to retire each of the next two but a two-out bunt single RBI scored Luis Vazquez from second on the play. Rece Hinds proceeded to make it a 4-0 game with a two-run home run to right field. Gordon finished his night after 4.0 IP with four runs allowed on four hits and struck out three with a pair of walks. Luis Matos served as the first baserunner of the game for Nashville after he led off the top of the third with a single. He was followed aboard by Ethan Murray who drew a walk and Freddy Zamora who also singled in his return to the Nashville lineup to load the bases. Tyler Black cleared them with his second grand slam of the season and third of his career to even the score at 4-4. Nashville took their first lead of the game in the fifth after Jeferson Quero doubled home Bo Naylor with a two-out RBI. Wilken made it a two-run Nashville advantage with his 13th home run of the season to begin the top of the sixth. After two scoreless innings in relief for Carlos Rodriguez, Brett Wichrowski took over on the mound for Nashville in the bottom of the seventh. Three straight one-out hits brought the Tides within a run after Heston Kjerstad doubled home a run and pushed the tying run to third. Wichrowski induced a ground ball to Murray who went home on the play to try and nab Hinds on a play at the plate. The tag by Naylor was late as Hinds scored with Kjerstad also able to score standing up on the play as the ball rolled away from Naylor towards the Norfolk dugout. In the top of the ninth with Nashville down a run, Zamora walked and stole second. Naylor added his lone hit of the night to score Zamora and tie the game at 7-7. It was the fourth straight game with a RBI for Naylor who has recorded eight total over his last four games played. Back-to-back flyouts from the heart of the Sounds batting order sent the game to the bottom of the ninth. Garrett Stallings was back on the mound after relieving Wihcrowski in the bottom of the seventh and stranding a two-out triple in the eighth. Hinds and Kjerstad each tallied their third hit of the night with singles to begin the inning with a wild pitch pushing both up an extra base and left Hinds standing on third as the potential winning run. A walk issued by Stallings loaded the bases for Jose Barrero who hit a ball deep enough to left field to allow Hinds to dash home for a third time and the walk-off win. The Sounds and Tides will continue their six-game series on Wednesday night at Harbor Park. First pitch is scheduled for 5:35 p.m. LHP Thomas Pannone (4-1, 4.09 ERA) will get the start for Nashville in game two of the series. POSTGAME NOTES: SLAMMIN SOUNDS, PT. 11: Tyler Black hit his second grand slam of the season and third of his career on Tuesday night in Norfolk. Black is now tied for the most grand slams hit by a Nashville player in their career. Erick Peterson and J.R. House also each hit three over their time in Nashville. Peterson hit two during the 1981 season and added his third in 1983 while House hit all three of his during the 2004 season. Black is the 17th different Nashville player to record multiple grand slams in the same season, and the fifth to do it this season, joining Brock Wilken, Luke Adams, Akil Baddoo, and Eddys Leonard. Nashville leads all Minor League Baseball with 11 grand slams this season. High-A Dayton (CIN), Double-A Somerset (NYY), and Double-A Springfield (STL) have each hit nine this year and are tied for second behind the Sounds. The 11 grand slams add to a historic season for Nashville, who had never hit more than six in any single season entering the year. BAYSIDE BROCKETS: Brock Wilken tied the team lead with his 13th home run of the season on Tuesday in Norfolk. He tied Luke Adams atop the Nashville leaderboard for round trippers and leads the club with his 65 RBI this season. The 13 long balls are the third-most Wilken has recorded in a single-season of his professional career behind his 18 in 2025 with Double-A Biloxi and 17 he hit in 2024 with the Shuckers. Wilken has 53 career home runs and is now tied for the second-most in the farm system since 2023 along with former Sound Wes Clarke. Eric Bitonti leads all Brewers minor leaguers over the span with his 56 home runs. R-BO-I: Bo Naylor recorded his fourth straight game with a RBI after plating Freddy Zamora in the top of the ninth inning on Tuesday night to tie the game at 7-7. Naylor has eight RBI total over his last four games played. He is the eighth different Nashville player to have a RBI streak of 4+ games this season for Nashville and the first since Luke Adams (July 9-17). Cooper Pratt posted a RBI in five straight games to lead all Nashville players. Since appearing in his first game with Nashville on August 4, Naylor is hitting .270 (10-for-37) with a double, three home runs, 10 RBI, and seven runs scored. Since making his Triple-A debut with Columbus in 2022, Naylor has produced 129 RBI in 180 games with 38 doubles and 38 home runs in Triple-A. Nashville lost a heartbreaker on Tuesday, rallying back from an early four run deficit to take the lead in the middle portion of the game, only to get walked off in the 9th. Colton Gordon (4IP 4H 4R 4ER 2BB 3K) started and put the Sounds in an early hole, but was bailed out when Tyler Black delivered a game-tying grand slam in the third inning, courtesy of the Sounds’ X account: In the 5th, Jeferson Quero popped a ground rule double into the wind to give the Sounds the lead, and then Brock Wilken extended the lead with his 13th home run of the year: Carlos Rodriguez gave the Sounds a chance with two shutout innings, but then the bullpen faltered. Brett Wichrowski continued his difficult season allowing three runs (two earned) while retiring just one batter in the seventh. That gave Salem a 7-6 lead heading into the 9th. In the 9th, the freshly activated Freddy Zamora walked, stole second, and then scored on a Bo Naylor single. But in the bottom half of the inning, the wheels fell off for Garrett Stallings. Stallings allowed a pair of singles, a wild pitch, and a walk to load the bases with nobody out. A sac fly then gave the walk-off win to Salem. The loss drops the Sounds to 65-56 on the season. Wednesday's starter is TBD. Biloxi pre-game media notes Rocket City (Angels) 7, Biloxi 3 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Peña Records 1st Double-A Hit, Shuckers Drop Opener to Trash Pandas - Thompson sets new career-high with eight strikeouts, Cruz strikes out seven in relief The tough times continued for Biloxi on Tuesday as the Shuckers once again fell behind early on their way to a 7-3 loss, their 12th consecutive defeat. 2025 2nd-round pick JD Thompson took his second start at AA and struck out a career high eight in four innings of work. Unfortunately Thompson allowed two runs in the first and another in the third and the Trash Pandas never looked back. The Shuckers’ prospect-laden lineup managed just five hits on the night. Luis Pena made his AA debut playing third base and collected his first hit, courtesy of the Biloxi X account: Damon Keith had the only extra-base hit for the Shuckers, with a run-scoring double to open the scoring: The other RBIs came courtesy of an Andrew Fischer sac fly and a Mike Boeve ground out. Stiven Cruz came on for Thompson and struck out seven in three innings of work. However, the bullpen couldn’t keep the game close as Rocket City responded to Biloxi’s rallies and were never really threatened until late in the game. In the top of the 9th, the Shuckers loaded the bases on an error, a walk, and a single. That brought Braylon Payne to the plate as the tying run, but Payne struck out to end the game. The loss drops the Shuckers below .500 (55-56) for the first time since May 27th. No starter has been named for Wednesday’s game. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Lake County (Guardians) 4, Wisconsin 3 Box Score Captains Steer Past Rattlers - Lake County’s late run tops Wisconsin Wisconsin dropped a tough defeat, losing 4-3 at home to Lake County on Tuesday. The game started out well, as Brady Ebel, in his Wisconsin debut, drew the first of his four walks to open the game. The rehabbing Cooper Pratt then singled, and eventually both players scored on Eric Bitonti’s clutch two-out two-run single. You can see all the highlights below from the Rattlers’ YouTube page. Unfortunately after the hot start, Wisconsin would not manage much offense the rest of the game. After Lake County had rallied off Rattlers’ starter Jacob Morrison (3.2IP 3H 3R 3ER 3BB 5K) to take a 3-2 lead, Pratt tied the game with a sac fly in the fifth. Wisconsin managed just five hits on the night and was 1-for-9 with RISP. The game remained knotted at three until the 8th, when Lake County used a HBP, double, and sac fly to take the lead. Andrew Healy was the tough luck loser in this one, despite throwing four innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts. Healy has a 16:2 K:BB rate through his first 14 innings at the level. With the defeat, the Rattlers drop to 3.5 games back in the second half standings. RHP Josh Knoth (4-3, 4.68 ERA) takes the mound in the early game on Wednesday. Wilson pre-game media notes Salem (Red Sox) 21, Wilson 4 Box Score Wilson Allows Season Highs in Big Loss - Ebel Records First Hit Wilson was steamrolled in their series opening loss to Salem on Tuesday night. Salem put up three touchdowns across the first five innings of the game on their way to a 21-4 drubbing of the Warbirds. Joan Pena (2.1 IP 10ER), Thomas Conrad (1.2IP 5ER) and Enderson Mercado (.2IP 6ER) were all battered by the RidgeYaks’ lineup. Salem tallied rallies of 4-1-7-3-6 runs to open the game as the carousel kept spinning all night long. Only Ismael Yanez (1.1IP 1H 2B 2K) and seldom used backup catcher Eric Martinez (2IP 3H) got through the game unscathed. Perhaps the Salem offense tired themselves out by the 6th inning of play. The Warbirds did manage nine hits on offense. Juan Ortuno led the team with three hits, including a double, three steals and two runs scored. Brailyn Antunez continued his torrid stretch at Wilson with another multi-hit game, while Carsten Sabathia III doubled twice. Antunez is now carrying a 1.271 OPS through his first 18 games in Low A. Trey Ebel made his full-season debut and picked up right where his brother Brady left off with a hit and two walks. LHP Joey Broughton (0-3, 5.55 ERA) will make his 7th start (12th appearance) on Wednesday as Wilson will look to flush this one from memory as quickly as possible. DSL Brewers Gold 15, DSL Pirates Gold 6 Box Score The DSL Brewers Gold concluded their regular season on Tuesday with a resounding 15-6 victory over DSL Pirates Gold. The Brewers jumped all over the Pirates early and the outcome was never in doubt after the second inning. In the first inning Ricki Moneys and Leanders Matos each walked and stole base, then Josue Rodriguez plated them both on an RBI single to make it 2-1 Brewers. In the second inning, the Brewers sent 13 men to the plate and scored eight runs to put the game out of reach. Moneys had a two-run triple and Fernandez had the big blast with a three-run home run, part of a five RBI day for the 17-year-old left fielder. The hectic second inning featured six walks, four wild pitches, a balk, and an error. As a team, the Brewers had a staggering 17 walks on the day. Santiago Garcia was one of the other offensive stars of the day. Garcia finished a triple shy of the cycle and belted his first home run of the season (120 at-bats). On the mound for the Brewers; starter Daniel Garcia allowed three run in three innings of work. Joan Gonzalez was filthy, striking out eight in his four innings of work. Garcia was one out shy of a clean inning, when a two-out error in the seventh inning led to three unearned runs scoring before the final out was recorded With the win, the Gold squad (34-20) clinched the DSL Central Division and will advance to the DSL playoffs. We will await word on timing and first opponent for the playoff push. DSL Rojos (Reds) 10, DSL Brewers Blue 5 Box Score The DSL Brewers Blue finished their DSL season on a sour note, dropping a 10-5 decision to the DSL Rojos on Tuesday. The Blue squad fell behind early, but showed their grit rallying to tie the game and eventually take a brief lead. However, the Rojos put the game away with big rallies in the sixth and eighth inning. The Brewers actually outhit the Rojos 8-5 on the day, but were doomed by a pitching staff that allowed 10 walks. Angel Gonzalez paced the offense with three hits, including a triple. Jose Rodriguez had two hits, a walk, and a run scored. Diego Frontado knocked in two runs on a double. The 17-year-old Frontado finishes his impressive first season in the system with a .979 OPS and 46 RBI. The Brewers emptied the clip on the bullpen in the final game of the season. Six different pitchers were used. Carlos Canales (1IP 1BB) and Jean Rodriguez (2IP 2BB 1K) were the noteworthy performances as the pair worked hitless and scoreless outings in relief. The game turned when the Rojos capitalized on command issues from the Brewers bullpen, scoring four runs in the sixth with the help of three hit batters, three walks, and a wild pitch. The Brewers Blue finish the season 31-24 and just miss out on qualifying for the playoffs. Well, at least the Brewers game was a fun one on Tuesday. The DSL has wrapped on the regular season, so it's just the four full-season affiliates in play on Wednesday. Wisconsin once again has the early game at noon CT.

Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Nashville 6, Indianapolis (Pirates) 5 Box Score Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Baddoo Walks off Indianapolis Tuesday Night Nashville showed their grit in their back-and forth victory over Indianapolis on Tuesday. Every time Indianapolis scored, Nashville had an immediate response, eventually walking off with a 6-5 victory. After the Indians got on the board versus starter Tyson Hardin in the opening frame, Luis Matos came through with a two-out bases loaded single to give the Sounds an early 2-1 lead. Hardin fared a bit better in this game than he had recently. Since the calendar flipped to July, Hardin had more runs allowed (23) than innings pitched (22.1) entering Tuesday’s contest. Hardin labored his way through 4.1 IP, allowing eight hits but just two runs, due in part to a 5:0 K:BB ratio on the night. After the Indians tied the game off Hardin in the 4th, the Sounds immediately answered back in their half on Eduardo Garcia’s two-run single which made it 4-2 Nashville. Highlight courtesy of the Nashville X account: The Indians briefly took the lead in the 7th, but this time Akil Baddoo had the answer, with an RBI single to tie the game at 5-5. In the 8th, Joel Kuhnel loaded the bases with nobody out but managed to wriggle of the hook with a 5-2-3 double play and then a ground out. Blake Holub then tossed a clean 9th to set the stage for the Sounds offense to walk it off. Blake Burke, who made his AAA debut on Tuesday, led off with an HBP. Brock Wilken followed with a single. Then Baddoo delivered the clutch single to score Burke to win the game: Nashville moves to 63-52 (20-20 in the second half) with the win. They gain a game on first place Indianapolis but remain five games back with a month to play. LHP Colton Gordon (0-2, 4.91) will look to build momentum from his quality start last time out as he leads the Sounds to the mound on Wednesday. Biloxi pre-game media notes Pensacola (Marlins) 12, Biloxi 0 Box Score Shuckers Drop Series-Opener to Blue Wahoos on Tuesday Night - Vargas extends hit streak to four, Broca ties season-high with three innings Pensacola jumped on Biloxi early and never looked back in their 12-0 victory on Tuesday. There were not a lot of highlights for the Shuckers in this one. Jaron DeBerry started and was pounded with a ton of hard contact. DeBerry allowed nine runs (eight earned) on nine hits (three homers) and walked three. Anthony Flores and Jesus Broca took over for DeBerry and worked around a ton of traffic and only allowed a run each in their respective appearances. The Biloxi offense was held to one hit, a Mike Boeve triple, through the first seven innings. Jesus Made added a double in the 8th and Mark Coley II had a single in the 9th. As a team, the Shuckers were 0-for-7 with RISP and left 10 men on base. With Burke promoted to AAA, Andrew Fischer made his first professional start at first base. The loss drops Biloxi to 55-50 on the season and 20-20 in the second half. LHP JD Thompson (3.90 ERA in nine starts at Wisconsin) will make is AA debut on Wednesday for the Shuckers. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Cedar Rapids (Twins) 6, Wisconsin 3 Box Score Kernels Sprint to Early Lead and Beat Rattlers 6-3 - Cedar Rapids up 5-0 after two innings on a pair of home runs Wisconsin dropped a 6-3 contest on the road against the Cedar Rapids on Tuesday. Wisconsin's pitching staff dug an early hole, surrendering five runs over the first two frames. Starting pitcher Jayden Dubanewicz struggled to find rhythm, allowing seven hits and five earned runs across three innings. Despite the early setback, the Timber Rattlers showed resilience in the middle innings to cut into the deficit. In the 4th inning, Luis Castillo launched a two-run home run, courtesy of the Rattlers’ X account: For a player approaching 20 home runs on the season, Castillo sure is flying under the radar. Wisconsin kept the momentum going in the 5th when Daniel Dickinson drilled a solo homer with two outs to bring the Rattlers within two at 5-3: After posting a 1.095 OPS in July, Dickinson has followed that up with a 1.122 OPS so far in August. The trio of Yerlin Rodriguez, Bjorn Johnson and Jose Meneses kept the game close after Dubanewicz left the game. Johnson was particularly sharp with four strikeouts in two scoreless frames. However, The Timber Rattlers struggled with runners in scoring position (0-for-6) and left eight runners stranded on base. Cedar Rapids held Wisconsin to just one hit in the final three innings, a triple from Sawyer Strosnider in his professional debut. Check out Strosnider’s triple here: Wisconsin falls to 57-47 (23-19 in the second half) with the loss. LHP Andrew Healy (4.15 ERA in 60.2IP at Wilson this season) makes his Midwest League debut on Wednesday. Wilson pre-game media notes Wilson 10, Columbia (Royals) 3 Box Score Ebel Shines in Series-Opening Win - Ebel's Three Hits Lead to Six RBIs Tuesday night was the Brady Ebel Show in Wilson, as the 19-year-old shortstop powered Wilson to a resounding 10-3 win over Columbia. Ebel had three hits, finishing a single shy of the cycle, and drove in a career-high six runs. Ebel opened the scoring with a two run double in the third, courtesy of Spencer Michaelis’ X account: In the seventh, Ebel’s opposite field blast broke a 3-3 tie: Then in the eighth, Ebel close the scoring with a two-run triple to dead center: In non-Ebel related news, two Brewers’ 2026 draft picks made their professional debuts with Wilson. Third-round pick Kyle Jones slotted into the leadoff spot, while Carsten Sabathia III hit eighth, and both players collected two hits, scored twice and had their first professional RBI. Spencer clipped both of their RBI hits for us: On the mound, Carlos Carra worked six strong innings, allowing two hits, two runs, with two walks and striking out four. It was Carra’s longest outing since pitching 6.1 innings on June 6. Newly promoted Luke Roupe made his full-season ball debut and earned in the win in relief, notching three innings of one-run ball to lock down the win. It was the first professional win for the 2025 17th-round draft pick. Wilson is now 56-50 on the season and evens their second half record at 20-20. They also pick up a game in the Carolina League standings, just one game back of Fayetteville and Salem. LHP Enderson Mercado (4-7, 7.96 ERA) will start on Wednesday. DSL Brewers Gold 3, DSL Orioles Orange 2, F/8 (Game called due to rain) Box Score The newly loaded DSL Brewers Gold super team was in action on Tuesday and eked out a 3-2 rain-shortened victory over the DSL Orioles Orange. As Jim covered in yesterday’s link report transactions, the Brewers swapped a bunch of the best players from the DSL Brewers Blue squad over to the Gold, potentially for their DSL title push. The Gold squad got on the board early thanks to Angeni Fernandez’s work on the base paths. Fernandez opened the first inning with a single, stole second, and then eventually scored on Moises Salazar’s sac fly. In the third, the Gold added a run when Leanders Matos singled home Salazar to make it 2-0 Brewers. Matos, in his Gold debut, paced the team with two of their four hits on the day, to raise his average to .355 on the season. The Orioles finally broke through against Brewers’ starter Daniel Garcia in the fourth. Garcia walked a man and then allowed a home run to tie the game at 2-2. Garcia finished the frame and then exited with a line of 4 IP 1H 2R 2ER 2BB and 3K. The Brewers bullpen took over from there Joan Gonzalez (3 IP 1H 3BB 1K) and Ruben Saldana (1 IP 1H 1K) kept the Orioles scoreless the rest of the game. In the 6th, Fernandez once again wreaked havoc on the base paths to set the table for the winning run. Fernandez was HBP, took second on an errant pickoff attempt and then stole third. Ricki Moneys then plated Fernandez with a ground out, providing the winning margin. The Orioles actually did rally in the top of the 9th to take the lead, which isn’t shown in the box score. The Brewers were at-bat in the bottom of the 9th when the rain came. Apparently, they reverted the score to that last completed full inning, which gave the Brewers Gold the win, improving to 31-18 on the season. The DSL Brewers Blue are in their regular 11 AM CT time slot Wednesday. Wisconsin has a matinee at 1 PM CT. The rest of the full season squads will get rolling in their normal evening time slots.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic A day after the trade deadline, the rumors of the Brewers' system's demise have been greatly exaggerated. In a season full of incredible moments, Biloxi found a new way to top themselves with an epic comeback. Braylon temporarily eased the Payne of trading Josiah Ragsdale with a milestone homer and a triple in Wisconsin's win. The other Brailyn mashed another home run at Wilson in their victory.

Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Memphis (Cardinals) 13, Nashville 2 Box Score Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Suffer Largest Loss of Season to Memphis - Drew Rom extends his streak of not allowing an earned run to 14.2 innings A day after their parent clubs completed a surprising trade of MLB arms for MiLB bats, Nashville and Memphis faced off at the AAA level with the Sounds enduring a 13-2 drubbing at the hands of the Redbirds. This one was over early. Memphis jumped all over Sounds’ starter Tyson Hardin in the second inning, knocking the 2025 Brewers’ MiLB Pitcher of the Year from the game with an eight-run frame. Seven of the runs were charged to Hardin, who allowed eight hits, walked a man, and struck out three. Lyon Richardson came on and did not fare much better, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks in just 1.2 innings. Offensively, the Sounds did manage to collect 10 hits, though nine of them were singles. Luis Matos was responsible for four of those hits, including a double, and he scored a run. Brock Wilken extended his on-base streak to thirteen games with a single and two walks. Tyler Black and Akil Baddoo each had two hits apiece, while Luke Adams took two more HBP and now leads the organization with 19 HBP on the season in just 61 games. Bo Naylor had an RBI single in his organizational debut, which you can see here, courtesy of the Sounds’ X account: Nashville falls to 59-50 with the loss and 16-18 in the second half. A playoff berth looks like a longshot, but hopefully the team can finish the stretch home with a winning record. LHP Colton Gordon (6-5, 4.05 ERA) will make his fourth appearance in a Sounds’ uniform on Wednesday. Since coming over from the Houston organization, Gordon has allowed 12 runs (10 earned) in 16 innings. Biloxi pre-game media notes Biloxi 11, Columbus (Braves) 9, F/10 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Guerrero Reaches 1,500 Career Wins in Shuckers Comeback Win - Shuckers strike for eight runs over the final two innings, Dinges records first Double-A home run Another night in the high-octane, hitter-friendly (😉) Southern League, and another improbable pulse-pounding victory for Biloxi. The Shuckers leaped off the mat in the final two innings to steal victory from the jaws of defeat, sending Columbus home dumbfounded with the 11-9 extra-inning victory. The Shuckers struck first, with Jesus Made and Blake Burke singling in the opening frame. The pair then executed a double steal, with Made scoring on a throwing error to make it 1-0 Biloxi. Columbus immediately responded with a three-run first inning off of Shuckers’ starter Yorman Galindez (5IP 5H 4R 4ER 2BB 7K) to snatch the lead back. Now trailing 3-1. Mark Coley II hit a two-run bomb to even the score, which you can check out here via the Shuckers’ X account: The game remained tied until the 5th, when Columbus took a one-run lead on a sac fly. Then in the 7th inning, Columbus seemingly put the game away with a five run rally to make in 9-3. Southern League viewers should know by now that no lead is safe versus this Biloxi lineup. It was 9-3 going to the 9th. Marco Dinges flied out to start the frame and then Made walked. Then the floodgates busted open in an epic six-run rally that unfolded in under 10 minutes real time. Burke singled on the first pitch he saw. Andrew Fischer did the same and roped a single to plate Made. Josh Adamczewski hammered the second pitch he saw to score Burke. With the Columbus’ pitcher’s head spinning, Mike Boeve drew a walk to load the bases and improbably brought the tying run to the plate. Matthew Wood then legged out a would-be GIDP to give Coley II a chance to tie the game. That’s exactly what Coley II did, launching his second home run into the night air on the second pitch he saw: Columbus was crestfallen. 26 pitches, six runs, three singles, two walks and one clutch homer. However, Columbus did have a chance in the 9th to play the Uno reverse card. What should have been a second consecutive 1-2-3 inning for Edwin Jimenez (2IP 2K 0H) turned into a little extra work after Made flubbed the throw on a routine ground ball with two out. Made committed two throwing errors on the night, part of four errors for Bilxoi. The next Clingstones’ hitter looped a shallow pop up into center, which looked destined to at least put the winning run 90 feet away, but Coley II raced in for a sensational diving catch to preserve the 9-9 tie and send the game to extras. Dinges wasted no time activating hero mode, blasting the first pitch he saw for his first AA home run: The Shuckers would go on to load the bases in the 10th against a clearly taxed and bewildered bullpen that had to resort to a position player to record the final out. Sam Garcia then emphatically slammed the door on the victory, working around the “ghost runner” and a walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless 10th. The victory would not have been possible without the stellar work of Jimenez and Garcia over the final three innings. After losing their leadoff man Josiah Ragsdale to a trade the previous day, the Shuckers’ offense did not miss a beat on this night. Made had three hits and two walks. Burke had four hits. Adamczewski ripped a pair of singles and drew a walk as well. The team did strike out a worrisome 13 times but managed to overcome that and steal the victory. Not to be downplayed, it was Mike Guerrero’s 1,500th career victory. Biloxi is 55-44 on the season and 20-16 in the second half. RHP Jaron DeBerry (7-5, 4.48 ERA) will make his 5th appearance versus Columbus this season when he takes the mound on Wednesday Wisconsin pre-game media notes Wisconsin 9, Beloit (Marlins) 3 Box Score Wisconsin Starts Long Road Trip on the Right Foot - Torres goes seven innings as Payne and Castillo homer to beat Beloit Wisconsin pounded Beloit into submission, first jabbing away with some solo punches before dropping the Sky Carp with the knockout blow in the 9th, winning 9-3. Braylon Payne got the offense started with a triple in the first and then immediately scored on Daniel Dickinson’s single. After the Sky Carp briefly took the lead with a two-run rally in the second, Payne then launched a solo shot, his 22nd of the year to tie the game: I mentioned in this space last week that I think Payne has an outside shot at 30-30, he may yet prove me right at this rate! The Sky Carp rallied back in their half of the 4th, but then Luis Pena provided an immediate answer in the top of the 5th with a triple into the gap to tie the game: Pena, Payne and Dickinson each had two-hit days atop the Wisconsin order and combined for five runs and three RBI. Dickinson also stole four bases on the night to give him 39 on the year, second only to Dylan O'Rae (48) across the organization. As a team, every Rattler had at least one hit and six different players drove in a run. Luiyin Alastre gave the Rattlers a 4-3 lead in the 6th on this single: It would remain a one run game until the 9th, when the Rattlers broke it open with the decisive blow, a grand slam from Luis Castillo: Not to be overshadowed by the tremendous day from the offense, Wande Torres had a strong effort on the mound. Torres notched seven innings pitched for the third time in the last month (second time versus Beloit) and did well to strike out eight with zero walks. That was a nice improvement after a 10:9 K:BB ratio in 7.2IP in his last two outings. Daniel Corniel closed it out with two scoreless innings to earn his second save of the season. The Rattlers improve to 54-44 with the win and 20-16 in the second half. They also narrow the gap to first-place Beloit in the second half standings to just 2.5 games. LHP J.D. Thompson (0-1, 3.96 ERA) will look to draw Wisconsin a game closer when he leads the team on the mound Wednesday night. Wilson pre-game media notes Wilson 6, Hill City (Guardians) 3 Box Score Warbirds Use Long Ball to Defeat Howlers - Relentless Renz Earns Save A day after trading away two starters, Wilson secured a gritty 6-3 victory over Hill City on Tuesday night, powered by a mid-game offensive explosion and clutch pitching. Wilson found themselves in an early 2-0 hole following a two-run homer by the Howlers in the bottom of the third. However, the Warbirds' bats woke up in a big way in the fifth inning. Rylan Mills and José Anderson sparked the comeback by crushing back-to-back solo home runs, tying the game at 2-2. Check out both homers here, courtesy of the Wilson X account: The power display continued in the top of the sixth when Brailyn Antunez launched a solo shot of his own to left field, giving the Warbirds a 3-2 lead they would never relinquish. Antunez may make Brewers’ fans say “Alexander Frias, who?” if he keeps up at this pace. Antunez already has three home runs and 10 RBI in just seven games at Wilson. He’s also dialed back his strikeout rate (from 31.3% in ACL play to 18.5% at Low A) in the small sample, with as many strikeouts (five) as walks at the level. Wilson’s offense then provided crucial insurance in a huge seventh inning. Following three consecutive walks that loaded the bases, Handelfry Encarnacion made the Howlers pay when he ripped a clutch, two-run double off the wall, scoring Anderson and Pedro Ibarguen. Brady Ebel immediately followed with an RBI groundout to bring home Frederi Montero, capping off a three-run frame and extending the lead to 6-2. On the mound, starter Diustin Mayorquin (5IP 3H 2R 2ER 3BB 1K) bounced back from the third-inning blemish to earn the win. It was the first time Mayorquin allowed multiple runs through his first four outings at Wilson, though he still sports a 1.59 ERA at the level. From there, Tyler Renz (4IP 4H 1R 1ER 0BB 1K) stepped up in relief and ultimately secured his first save of the year, slamming the door on a brief Howlers rally in the late innings to cement a well-earned win for Wilson. Wilson is now 53-47 on the season and 17-17 in the second half, two games back of first place. RHP Carlos Carra (3-8, 5.59 ERA) will take the mound on Wednesday. DSL Brewers Blue 5, DSL CLE Mendoza 4 Box Score The Brewers Blue pulled off a thrilling 5-4 walk-off victory over DSL CLE Mendoza on Tuesday. The Brewers started strong thanks in part to a dominant performance from starter Luis Aguayo. Aguayo carved up the Cleveland lineup, striking out nine batters over five impressive innings while allowing just two hits and a single run on a home run. The 18-year-old Aguayo has really stood out since the calendar flipped to July, with just two earned runs allowed in his last 21 IP with a 19:3 K:BB rate. The Brewers offense provided early support in the second inning when Angel Gonzalez poked an RBI single to score Leanders Matos, and then a fielding error produced another run to make it 2-0 Blue. CLE Medoza responded with a solo homer in the 4th, and the game remained 2-1 Brewers until the final innings. In the top of the eighth inning the Brewers' bullpen finally faltered. Reliever Yancarlos Vasquez, who had initially kept Cleveland quiet, ran into trouble after issuing a pair of walks and a balk. CLE Mendoza took advantage, launching a crushing three-run homer to right field to give CLE Mendoza a late 4-2 lead. It was a tough blow, but Lonell Downs came out of the bullpen to stabilize the game, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings to keep the Brewers within striking distance heading into the final frame. In the ninth inning the Brewers rallied with some plate discipline. The comeback began with a pair of walks and then a single from Enrique Lovera. With the bases loaded, Diego Frontado brought in a run with another walk. After a pitching change, Jose Rodriguez reached base on an error to tie the game. That set the table for Matos, who put the ball in play on a fielder’s choice to walk it off for the Brewers. Matos was the only Brewer with multiple hits on the day. His OPS is up to 1.066, good for 8th in the league. The Brewers Blue move to 25-20 with the win. DSL Pirates Black 6, DSL Brewers Gold 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score The Brewers Gold got on the board early, then the bats went away the rest of the day, on the way to a 6-1 defeat to DSL Pirates Black Tuesday. In the first inning, leadoff man Ricki Moneys walked and then stole second base. On the day, Moneys drew three of the Brewers’ eight walks. Moises Salazar then singled, and then Josue Rodriguez knocked Moneys in with an RBI single to make it 1-0 Brewers. From that point on, the Brewers managed just one hit, a Romano Donato single, in the rest of the seven-inning contest. Daniel Garcia started on the bump for the Brewers and took the loss despite working three innings with just two unearned runs allowed. Garcia worked around six hits and a walk thanks in part to four strikeouts, which matched his DSL-best from the same date in 2025. Garcia has allowed just one earned run in 11 DSL innings this year. Joan Gonzalez took over for Garcia in the fourth. After working a scoreless fourth inning, the Pirates tacked on four runs over the final two innings to put the game out of reach. The DSL Brewers Gold are now 26-18 on the season and still in first place in the DSL Central division. Well folks, after some heated discussion around the trade deadline, the sun did rise on Tuesday. The Brewers' top 10 prospects are still intact, with many of the best prospects in the organization continuing to mash. All four full-season affiliates and both DSL squads have winning records. There are exciting teenagers emerging in the DSL and at the lower levels, giving the Brewers' the deepest system in baseball. We're living in a golden era of Brewers' baseball, so I hope the final month of MiLB can provide some optimism for everyone no matter how the season turns out. See ya next week!

Biloxi's Mark Coley II called game in the 10th after Jaron DeBerry's fine outing, as Josiah Ragsdale had another multi-homer game. Both DSL squads pounded out victories, headlined by a multi-homer grand slam performance from Diego Frontado. Transactions: Biloxi Shuckers activated RHP Ryan Birchard from the 7-day injured list. Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Charlotte (White Sox) 6, Nashville 4 Box Score Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Fall to Knights on Thursday Night Despite a spirited comeback effort after falling behind early, Nashville dropped a tight 6-4 decision to Charlotte in the third game of their series. Charlotte opened the scoring with three runs in the top of the first inning, with old friend Eric Haase hitting a bases-clearing double. However, the Sounds answered right back in the bottom half. Jeferson Quero chopped an RBI single to score Brock Wilken, and Darrien Miller followed with an RBI double to quickly cut the deficit to one. Check out Miller’s double here, courtesy of the Sounds X account: Colton Gordon made his third start with Nashville since coming over in a trade from Houston. Gordon worked five innings with three earned runs and five strikeouts. After the early damage, Gordon set down 12 of the next 14, allowing just a bunt single and a batter to reach by error. Wilken stayed locked in at the plate, roping an RBI double in the second inning to tie the game, before driving in Eduardo Garcia on a fourth-inning fielder's choice to briefly give Nashville a 4-3 lead. Here’s the double: The advantage slipped away in the top of the sixth once Gordon was pulled. Haase struck his second major blow of the night, launching a go-ahead two-run home run off Lyon Richardson to put the Knights back on top, 5-4. Nashville put immediate pressure on the Charlotte bullpen in the bottom half of the frame after Luis Matos doubled and advanced to third on a wild pitch, but the Sounds were unable to cash in with the equalizer after Tyler Black and Luke Adams were set down in order. Charlotte extended its cushion to 6-4 with a solo home run in the top of the ninth off position player Ethan Murray, but the Sounds refused to go quietly in their final turn at bat. Down to their final out in the bottom of the ninth, Freddy Zamora and Miller drew back-to-back walks to bring the winning run to the plate. However, the late comeback threat was thwarted when Murray grounded into a game-ending force out at second base to seal the defeat. RHP Coleman Crow (5-1, 4.22 ERA) will take the mound on Friday for the Sounds, who fell to 13-17 (56-49 overall) in the second half with the loss. Biloxi pre-game media notes Biloxi 9, Montgomery (Rays) 8, F/10 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Coley Plays Hero in Shuckers Wild Walk-Off Win Biloxi’s wild back-and-forth series with Montgomery continued to be an emotional roller coaster on Thursday, with the Shuckers blowing an early 4-0 lead and then stealing the game on a walk-off homer. Jaron DeBerry started for the Shuckers and was once again excellent, working 5.2IP with just one run and five strikeouts. Shuckers announcer Javik Blake had this note on DeBerry joining some rare company with 100 strikeout seasons at Biloxi: DeBerry was squeezed a bit by a tight zone all night, as a few back door breaking balls seemed to catch the corner, only to be called balls by the home plate umpire. Multiple times in full counts DeBerry marched off the mound thinking he had strike three, including the last batter he faced on the night. DeBerry issued four free passes in total. Josiah Ragsdale continued his torrid stretch of play, homering in his fourth consecutive game, first with this leadoff homer courtesy of the Shuckers X account: Then Ragsdale added another blast later to give him 10 homers in the month of July, joining teammate Blake Burke with double digit homers this month: David Garcia was the meat in between the Ragsdale homer sandwich: However, the Shuckers bullpen could not hold the lead, allowing runs in each of the last four innings. Stiven Cruz had a particularly rough go. Despite the Shuckers providing Cruz with a two-run lead in the bottom of the 8th with a Jesus Made double and Andrew Fischer sac fly, Cruz could not close the door. Cruz first blew the save on back-to-back jacks in the 9th, then was touched up for three more runs in the 10th. It looked like the Shuckers might be in for a painful loss trailing 8-5, but they showed their resilience in the bottom of the 10th. With Burke starting the inning on second, Josh Adamczewski singled him home and brought the tying run to the plate. Marco Dinges, who had been 1-for-21 to start his time at AA, then singled to put runners at the corners for Mark Coley II. Coley II then crushed the first pitch he saw into the night sky into left to give Biloxi the dramatic walk-off victory: The Shuckers remain first in the second half standings with an 18-12 record (53-42 overall). RHP Braylon Owens (1-1, 6.05 ERA) is scheduled to take the mound on Friday. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Wisconsin 10, Lansing (A’s) 0 Box Score Wisconsin Blasts Six Homers to Beat Lansing - Harrison pitches 5-2/3 scoreless innings on rehab assignment from Milwaukee Wisconsin pummeled Lansing into submission on Thursday night behind Kyle Harrison’s excellent return to action and six home runs from the Rattlers’ offense. Harrison worked 5.2IP scoreless with one hit, three walks and five strikeouts. Harrison looked sharp, needing just 68 pitches (44 strikes) to get through his outing. From there, the bullpen retired nine of the final 10 batters, limiting Lansing to just one hit on the night. The Rattlers’ YouTube page has all the highlights for you here: Braylon Payne went yard two more times, giving him 20 on the season, and reaching the 20-20 milestone in just 66 games. We’ve seen Payne hit plenty of homers in bunches this season, with another hot stretch could he join Fischer and (presumably) Burke in the 30-homer club yet this season? He may have an outside chance at it, especially if Payne stays stuck in High A. Eric Bitonti and Tayden Hall each homered and doubled on the night Luiyin Alastre hit his first homer of the season and added a steal. Daniel Dickinson hit his fifth home run of July and now sports a .315/.479/.616 slash line in the month. You can also check out the postgame podcast with comments from Harrison, who indicates this will be his only rehab start, here: Wisconsin is now 17-15 (51-43 overall) in the second half and 3.5 games back of first. RHP Jayden Dubanewicz (2-3, 5.24 ERA) toes the slab in game four of the series on Friday. Wilson pre-game media notes Fredericksburg (Nationals) 7, Wilson 3, F/10 Box Score Warbirds Rally Falls Short in Extras - Nationals Pull Away Late It was a hard-fought battle at Wilson Ballpark on Thursday night, but the Warbirds ultimately dropped a tough 7-3 decision to Fredericksburg in 10 innings. The Warbirds struck first in what started as a tense pitching duel, breaking the scoreless tie in the bottom of the 5th when Frederi Montero slapped an RBI single to bring home Rylan Mills. Andrew Healy started for Wilson and tossed 4.2 sparkling innings, allowing just one hit and two walks while matching a career-best with six strikeouts. After the Nationals responded to take a 2-1 lead in the top of the 6th, Wilson immediately punched back. Brady Ebel sparked the rally with a clutch triple and was quickly brought home by a Juan Ortuno sacrifice fly to knot the game at 2-2. The real drama came in the bottom of the 9th. Trailing 3-2 and down to their final outs, Alexander Frias ripped a massive triple to right field. Brailyn Antunez followed up with a clutch, game-tying RBI single to keep the Warbirds alive and force extra innings. Unfortunately, the magic ran out in the 10th. The Nationals' bats exploded for four runs off reliever Enderson Mercado. Despite putting runners on in the bottom of the 10th, the Warbirds grounded into a game-ending double play, closing the book on a disappointing 7-3 finish. Despite the loss dropping the Warbirds to a 15-16 second half record (51-46 overall), Wilson is just 2.5 games out of first place. RHP Jarrette Bonet (6-5, 4.99 ERA) will look to right the ship on Friday when he takes the mound for Wilson. DSL Brewers Gold 10, DSL Rojos (Reds) 5 Box Score The DSL Brewers Gold put together a dominant offensive performance to secure a decisive 10-5 victory over the DSL Rojos. The Brewers' lineup was relentless from the early innings, racking up 11 hits and jumping out to a commanding lead that they never surrendered. The Gold squad and now won four consecutive games and eight of their last 10. The Brewers' bats caught fire in the top of the second inning with some clutch two-out hitting. Francisco De Marchena broke the ice with an RBI single to left field, scoring Matthew Moses, and Jefer Lista immediately followed suit with an RBI single of his own to make it 2-0. The Brewers seized control in the top of the third when Moses crushed a three-run homer to left field, bringing home Moises Salazar and Josue Rodriguez to extend the lead to 5-0. On the mound, Paul Hoff (5IP 4H 2R 0ER 1BB 6K) set the tone, earning the win to improve his pristine record to 5-0 with a stellar 2.08 ERA, keeping the Rojos off balance just enough to let the offense go to work. Any hopes of a Rojos’ comeback were dashed late in the game when the Brewers added some crucial insurance runs. In the top of the seventh, Osiris Ramirez launched a two-run bomb to left field, scoring Ricki Moneys and stretching the lead to 9-3. Santiago Garcia later added a double to close the Brewers’ scoring for the day. Garcia paced the Brewers with three hits on the day and now has 17 hits and 10 walks in 15 games in July. The win moves the Brewers Gold to a strong 25-16 record on the season and first place standing in the DSL Central Division. DSL Brewers Blue 11, DSL CLE Goryl 5 Box Score The DSL Brewers Blue bats exploded on Thursday as they cruised to a dominant 11-5 victory over DSL CLE Goryl. The Brewers' offense relied on a spectacular display of power hitting to put the game out of reach early and secure the win. The star of the game was Diego Frontado, who put on a multi-home run clinic. After scoring the game's first run on a Leanders Matos sacrifice fly in the first inning, Frontado flexed his muscle in the bottom of the third with a two-run homer to left field to make it 3-0 Brewers. Frontado then delivered the knockout punch in the fifth inning, crushing a grand slam to center field to give the Brewers a 10-3 lead. Frontado has been on fire of late and now has a an 11-game hit streak and seven-game RBI streak. Frontado had plenty of help from a lineup that banged out eight hits and drew eight walks. Sebastian Franeites capped off a five-run third inning with a three-run blast to right field, while Matos added a solo shot of his own to cap off another five-run surge in the fifth. Matos is now third in DSL play with 44 RBI and Frontado sits 11th with 37 RBI. Both players are sporting 1.000+ OPS on the season. On the mound, Steven Duran worked around six walks and three hits in five innings to earn the win. The 18-year-old righthander was victimized by a two-out fielding error that opened the floodgates for a three-run (all unearned) rally. The Brewers Blue are now 23-19 on the season. All four full season squads are back in action on Friday night. In DSL play, the Gold and Blue squads will face off in a Friday matinee.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The Biloxi Shuckers came a tantalizing three outs away from a no-hitter on Tuesday. Josh Adamczewski powered the Shuckers to a 5-0 win. The rest of the full-season affiliates combined for just five runs and one win. In DSL action, the Brewers narrowly avoided a no-hitter. Transactions: RHP Manuel Moreno assigned to DSL Brewers Gold from DSL Brewers Blue Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Sugar Land (Astros) 3, Nashville 2, F/10 Box Score Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Sounds Suffer Extra-Inning Walk-Off Loss to Sugar Land - Tyler Black extends on-base streak to 25 consecutive games Nashville suffered a narrow 3-2 extra-inning loss to Sugar Land Tuesday night at Constellation Field. Despite a solid pitching performance and holding a mid-game lead, the Sounds were unable to hold on down the stretch, ultimately dropping the contest in ten innings. The Sounds struck first in the second inning thanks to an RBI single from Ethan Murray, and catcher Andrick Nava later reclaimed a 2-1 lead with a solo home run in the fifth inning. That would be the extent of the excitement for the Sounds’ offense, which managed just four other singles on the night. Luke Adams had two of the singles and now sports a .953 OPS on the season. The rehabbing David Hamilton was in action and singled in his return. However, Hamilton was one of the three players who were caught stealing for Nashville. On the mound, left-handed starter Thomas Pannone delivered a quality outing, yielding just two earned runs on three hits over 5.2 innings while striking out five. The bullpen was largely effective in keeping the game tied, highlighted by Blake Holub, who tossed two scoreless frames with three strikeouts to force extras. Unfortunately, the tenth inning proved to be Nashville's undoing when Reiss Knehr allowed the "ghost runner" to score with one out, handing the Space Cowboys the walk-off victory. Nashville is 11-11 in the second half and six games out of a playoff berth. RHP Garrett Stallings (3-3, 3.68 ERA) will take the hill on Wednesday. Biloxi pre-game media notes Biloxi 5, Chattanooga (Reds) 0 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Rodriguez, Shuckers Staff Shines in One-Hit Shutout - Biloxi Carries No-No into Ninth, Still Blank Chattanooga The Biloxi Shuckers put on a pitching masterclass Tuesday night at Erlanger Park, falling just three outs shy of a combined no-hitter in a dominant 5-0 shutout. Right-hander Manuel Rodriguez was spectacular on the mound, keeping the Lookouts hitless through six dazzling innings. Rodriguez racked up six strikeouts and surrendered just two walks, earning the win to improve to 10-3 on the season. That makes Rodriguez the 9th Shucker to win 10 games in a season: VIDEO via MLB.com: Rodriguez' spins six no-hit innings The bullpen nearly completed the combined no-hitter, with Nick Merkel and Jesus Broca continuing the hitless streak before Will Childers allowed a lone single to Graham in the ninth inning. On the offensive side, Biloxi supplied more than enough run support to back up their dominant pitching. Josh Adamczewski continued his torrid season at AA, going 2-for-3 and crushing a solo home run in the sixth inning to break the game open. Feast your eyes on Adamczewski’s homer here, courtesy of the Biloxi X account: Adamczewski also added a scorching double and drew a pair of walks, reaching base in four of his five plate appearances and raising his OPS to .986. Mark Coley II joined the home run party with a blast of his own in the seventh: Meanwhile, Dylan O'Rae continued to wreak havoc on the basepaths, crossing the plate twice and swiping three bases to push his season total to an impressive 43 steals. Blake Burke added two hits and a steal as well. Biloxi improves to 14-8 in the second half. RHP Travis Smith (0-1, 5.52 ERA) is scheduled to make his third AA start of the season for Biloxi on Wednesday. Wisconsin pre-game media notes South Bend (Cubs) 5, Wisconsin 2 Box Score South Bend Takes Game One from Wisconsin - Kepley continues to torment Timber Rattlers Wisconsin fell to South Bend 5-2, unable to sustain their offensive momentum after an early rally. The Cubs jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning, but Wisconsin answered back in the top of the third to tie the game. Luis Castillo sparked the offense by launching his 12th home run of the season to center field, which you can see here courtesy of the Wisconsin X account: Shortly after, Eric Bitonti delivered an RBI single on a line drive to right field, bringing Braylon Payne across the plate and evening the score at 2-2. Unfortunately for the Timber Rattlers, their bats went cold for the remainder of the night, finishing the game with just five total hits. South Bend immediately reclaimed the lead in the bottom half of the third inning and tacked on two more insurance runs in the fifth. Ethan Dorchies started and for the first time since June 18, he allowed more than two earned runs. It was an uneven performance for the 19-year-old as he threw just 44 of 80 pitches for strikes, allowing all five Cub runs on four hits and three walks with just a lone strike out. Chandler Welch took over for Dorchies and delivered three flawless innings with four strikeouts. Jose Meneses tacked on a scoreless frame, but the Rattlers could not muster any more offense in the late innings With the loss, Wisconsin falls to 14-10 in the second half, 1.5 games out of first. LHP Wande Torres (6-5, 4.85 ERA) will look to rebound from a tough outing (3 IP 5ER) in his last start. Wilson pre-game media notes Wilson 1, Charleston (Rays) 0 Box Score Wilson Wins Pitcher’s Duel in Series Opener at Charleston - Three Warbirds Combine on Shutout Wilson blanked Charleston 1-0 in a Carolina League pitcher’s duel Tuesday night, despite a whopping seven combined errors by the teams. The bats were quiet for both teams for most of the night, but the Warbirds finally broke the deadlock in the top of the 8th inning. Kevin Garcia and Juan Ortuno got things rolling with a pair of singles. After Charleston opted to intentionally walk Alexander Frias to load the bases, Rylan Mills showed off his plate discipline, drawing a clutch bases-loaded walk to bring Garcia home for the game's only run. On the mound, it was a lethal three-headed attack from the Warbird pitching staff. Miqueas Mercedes started and went four scoreless innings, working around three hits and two walks. Hayden Robinson was even better in his four-inning outing, allowing just one hit and two walks to earn the win. Both Mercedes and Robinson struck out four. After the Warbirds took the lead in the top of the 8th, Joshua Quezada needed just nine pitches to earn his fourth save of the season. The win moves Wilson (12-11) just a half game out of first in the second half standings. RHP Diustin Mayorquin (0-0, 0.00) is set to make his first start in full-season ball on Wednesday. Mayorquin tossed three scoreless innings in his first Low A appearance last week. DSL Astros Blue 7, DSL Brewers Gold 3 Box Score The DSL Brewers Gold came one out from being no-hit on Tuesday morning. With two down in the top of the 9th, second baseman Romano Donato connected on a solo home run to break up the no-no. It was just the fourth hit of the season for Donato in 42 at-bats. The Brewers other two runs came courtesy of a throwing error and wild pitch. As a team, the Gold squad managed to take six walks and steal two bases. However, they also struck out 11 times and went 0-for-8 with RISP. On the mound, Daniel Garcia started and for the first time in his now three appearances (five innings) this season, Garcia allowed a run. 20-year-old Carlos Canales (3 IP 1H 2BB) had his longest outing since 2024, while not allowing any runs to close the game. The Brewers Gold are now 19-15 on the year. DSL LAD Mega 8, DSL Brewers Blue 7 Box Score Despite a furious comeback attempt in the final innings, the DSL Brewers Blue dropped a tough 8-7 decision to DSL LAD Mega on Tuesday. Starting pitcher Luis Aguayo delivered a strong performance to keep the game close early, tossing five innings and allowing just one earned run while striking out four. If you take out Aguayo’s five-run 1.1 inning outing on June 30, the 18-year-old righty has only allowed three earned runs across his other 19 innings this season. Johanderson Tarazona socked an RBI double in the 4th inning to get the Brewers on the board. Leanders Matos had a fly ball single that briefly knotted the game at 2-2. That would be it for the Brewers’ offense until late in the game. The Brewers found themselves in a deep 8-2 hole heading into the bottom of the 8th inning after the bullpen surrendered a combined six runs in the 7th and 8th. Roniel Paulino was a major bright spot in the lineup, leading the offensive charge by going 2-for-5 with three RBI. Paulino’s two-run double in the 8th cut the deficit to 8-4. Enrique Lovera then followed Paulino with a double of his own to make it 8-5. In the 9th, a sac fly from Frandy Lafond and a single from Paulino cut the deficit to one. Unfortunately, the tying run was left stranded on second when Tarazona struck out to end the game. Lafond was a menace on the basepaths. Though he officially went 0-for-1, he walked three times, scored twice, picked up an RBI, and stole three bases. As a team, the Brewers stole seven bags on the day. The DSL Brewers Blue are now 20-15 on the season. Wednesday features two matinees on the schedule. Wisconsin gets things started with an 11AM CT first pitch, The ACL Brewers will follow with their penultimate game of the season at noon. The three other full-season affiliates will be in action in the evening. I will be down in the Bay next week for Brewers/Giants, so I will be back with you on Thursday next week.

Image courtesy of BrewerFanatic The ACL Brewers had a game they'll want to quickly flush, striking out 18 times and committing five errors. In the DSL, both Brewers squads won on the same day for just the sixth time all season. Transactions: None Game Action: ACL Reds 7, ACL Brewers 2 Box Score The ACL Brewers had a night to forget on their way to tough 7-2 defeat in Arizona Complex League play on Tuesday. There were quite a few lousy stats for the Brewers as they struck out a whopping 18 times, committed five errors, issued seven walks, uncorked four wild pitches, and left nine men stranded on base. Starter Wenderlyn King covered the first two innings with just an unearned run allowed, but still took the loss as the Brewers never recovered from the early deficit. Last year’s 20th round pick, Ma’Kale Holden took over and had another difficult outing. Holden issued five walks, five hits and five runs in just three innings of work. Holden, who forwent a commitment to Alabama last year, and instead signed with Milwaukee for $410k, has had a tough season in his first year of professional ball. On the season, Holden has nearly as many innings pitched (35.2) as he has hits (31), runs (34) and walks (36) allowed. Argenis Aparicio was another bright spot on the mound, with two innings of scoreless relief. That marked Aparico’s first scoreless outing since a one-third inning performance on June 15. Offensively, the Brewers didn’t produce much of note. The team collected six hits, with just a lone double by CJ Hughes going for extra bases. Moises Polanco and Jonathan Rangel each had two hits apiece. Rangel scored the Brewers’ first run on a passed ball in the 4th, which cut the Reds’ lead to 6-1. The Brewers then closed the scoring in the bottom of the 9th on a single from Polanco. The ACL Brewers are now 24-28 and will be the lone team in the organization in action on Wednesday. DSL Brewers Blue 6, DSL Athletics 2 Box Score The DSL Brewers Blue scored a 6-2 victory over the DSL Athletics Tuesday, driven by a stellar pitching performance that kept the A's off the board for the first seven innings. The Brewers' arms limited the Athletics to just four hits on the day, effectively silencing their offense despite also issuing 10 walks. Luis Aguayo started and tossed four scoreless innings, surrendering just two hits and two walks. Manuel Moreno, who recently began his third season in the DSL, picked up the win on the mound, turning in a scoreless outing over two innings. Wilmer Duarte somehow managed to work around six walks in two innings to allow just one earned run. Offensively, the Brewers caught fire in the back half of the game, consistently adding runs from the fifth inning onward. Enrique Lovera was the standout catalyst, ripping two crucial RBI doubles to jumpstart and sustain the momentum. Hat tip to @MilwaukeeBeers for posting the YouTube link to the game in our forums, so that I can link each of Lovera’s doubles for you here and here. Leanders Matos had the only other run producing hit on this well-placed Texas Leaguer. On the season, the newly turned 17-year-old Matos’ 1.036 OPS ranks 24th among all qualified DSL players and 11th with 30 RBI. Roniel Paulino added three hits and scored three times for the Brewers, while Nicolas Barrios walked three times and scored twice. The Brewers Blue are now 18-13 on the season. DSL Brewers Gold 8, DSL Pirates Gold 3 Box Score The DSL Brewers Gold cruised to a decisive 8-3 victory over the DSL Pirates Gold on Tuesday, collecting 10 hits and six walks in the process. After four scoreless frames to start the game, the Brewers' bats came alive to hang six runs on the board in the bottom of the fifth. The decisive rally was sparked by an RBI double from Matthew Moses, which was quickly followed by the biggest hit of the game: a bases-clearing double from Angeni Fernandez that plated three runs and gave Milwaukee an insurmountable lead. Fernandez, along with fellow 16-year-old Francisco De Marchena and Carlos Done, was one of three Brewers with multi-hit days. On the mound, Daniel Garcia got the Brewers started with two scoreless innings. Paul Hoff came on in the third, and tossed five innings, allowing just three hits and an unearned run while striking out six. As the bulk man, the 19-year old Hoff earned the win and improved his season record to 3-0 while now boasting an excellent 2.45 ERA. With the win, the Brewers Gold improve to 16-14 on the season and are now 1.5 games back of first in the DSL Central.

I have growing concerns about innings for the rotation. Kyle Harrison threw 112 innings in 2025 and 124.1 in 2024. He's already at 83.2 Jacob Misiorowski threw 141 innings in 2025 including playoffs. He's already at 111 Shane Drohan threw 54 innings in 2025. He had injury issues in 2024, but hit 123 and 129 in 2023 and 2022. He's already at 70IP. I get he's 27 years old, but is 130IP a reasonable jump? Brandon Sproat is coming off a career high 141.2IP and is already at 82IP. Of course everyone is well aware of Ashby's usage. In the last calendar year including playoffs, he has 107.1 IP Assuming a 20-25% increase for the likes of Miz and Harrison, they would have about 60-70 innings left. Are we going to see phantom IL trips for each? Acquiring a starter would allow them to move Drohan back to relief and limit his innings, but it still feels there's going to be a lot of innings to cover in the second half. Seems like we can expect a heavy dose of Henderson, Patrick, Gasser and Crow...

Milwaukee Brewers recalled CF Luis Lara from Nashville Sounds. Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Charlotte (White Sox) 8, Nashville 2 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Early Slam Quiets Sounds in Series Opener - Matos earns his second straight multi-hit game, his 9th of the season for Nashville With all the aforementioned transactions, shuffling players to and from the big-league club, the shorthanded Sounds fell to Charlotte 8-2 in their series opener Tuesday night. The Sounds fell behind 5-0 after two innings and never really threatened to make it a game, despite collecting eight hits and four walks. As a team, the Sounds were 0-for-7 with RISP. Luis Matos provided the lone extra-base hit for the Sounds with this home run, courtesy of the Nashville X account: The Sounds’ other run came on an Eddys Leonard GIDP. Carlos Rodriguez made his second rehab start and didn’t make it through two full frames. Rodriguez left with the bases loaded, due in part to an error. Peter Strzelecki then came on and allowed a grand slam to the first batter he faced. The only positive appearance on the mound for the Sounds was from Blake Holub who struck out the side in the 8th inning. The loss drops the Sounds to 7-6 in the second half and 50-38 overall. RHP Tyson Hardin (3-1, 3.67 ERA) will look to get the Sounds back on track on Wednesday. Biloxi pre-game media notes Knoxville (Cubs) 9, Biloxi 4 Box Score Fischer Stars in Return to Knoxville, Shuckers Fall to Smokies - Shuckers extend home run streak to second-longest in Southern League during Digital Stats Era Biloxi dropped their first game in their series in Andrew Fischer and Blake Burke’s return to Knoxville, where they played at the University of Tennessee. The game got off to a promising start when Fischer just missed another home run when he laced a ball to center for a triple. Fischer came around to score on a Mike Boeve sac fly to give the Shuckers an early 1-0 lead. Matthew Wood added his 12th home run of the year to make it 2-0 Shuckers, highlight here courtesy of the Shuckers’ X account: After Knoxville responded with a solo home run in their half of the fifth, Josh Adamczewski launched his second AA home run of the season: Unfortunately, the wheels fell off for Biloxi in the 6th, when Knoxville rallied for a six-run frame and put the game out of reach. Fischer was once again the story of the Shuckers’ offense. Fischer had three extra-base hits, two of which he banged off the wall, narrowly missing out on adding to his home run total. Check out all of Fischer’s hits here: Adamczewski was the only other Shucker with two hits. As a team, the Shuckers went 1-for-8 with RISP. On the mound, both Manuel Rodgriguez (5ER in 5.1IP) and Anthony Flores (4ER in 2.1 IP) were roughed up. Although not charged with any errors officially, the defense wasn’t super clean behind them. Adamczewski took a circuitous route on what looked like a catchable ball that led to a double early in the game. Ragsdale had a chance to make a great catch at the wall and missed it in the big six run rally. The Shuckers also allowed five stolen bases, including a double steal of home. The Shuckers are now 8-5 in the second half and 43-35 on the season. RHP Travis Smith (0-1, 6.75 ERA) is scheduled to make his second start and fifth appearance at AA in Wednesday’s game. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Beloit (Marlins) 7, Wisconsin 2 Box Score Sky Carp Take Tuesday’s Series Opener from Wisconsin - Rattlers fall behind early and can’t come back in game one Continuing the theme of tough nights in the system on Tuesday, Wisconsin was soundly beaten 7-2. Wisconsin managed just five hits (one double) but did draw eight walks. However, the team was just 1-for-9 with RISP and struck out 12 times, resulting in a fangless offensive attack on Tuesday. The Rattlers fell behind 2-0 after two innings. Starter Ethan Dorchies (4.1IP 3H 2ER 2BB 3K) held the game in check from there, but was pulled in the fifth at 82 pitches. Chandler Welch came on and struck out three in 1.2IP. However, Quinton Low couldn’t make it through his inning, and when the dust settled after a homer, bases loaded walk and wild pitch, the Rattlers trailed 5-0. Luis Pena had the only RBI of the night for Wisconsin on a single. You can check out all the highlights, or lack thereof below: Wisconsin is 11-4 in the second half and tied for first place in the second half standings. RHP Daniel Corniel (0-1, 1.93 ERA) is listed as the probable starter for Wednesday’s game. Wilson pre-game media notes Wilson 10, Fayetteville (Astros) 9, F/11 Box Score Di Turi Secures Walk Off Win Over Fayetteville Wilson made things much more difficult than it needed to be in their extra innings affair on Tuesday night. Wilson blew separate leads of four and three runs, but still pulled out the victory in their 10th walk-off win of the season. Brady Ebel got the scoring started for Wilson with an RBI double. Pedro Ibarguen knocked in two with a chopper to give the Warbirds an early 4-0 lead: After Fayetteville knotted the game at 5-5, Frederi Montero provided the big fly, a three-run home run that looked like it would give Wilson the win: However, Fayetteville rallied for three runs in the top of the 9th to eventually send the game to extra innings. After a scoreless 10th, Fayetteville actually took the lead with a run in the 11th. Juan Ortuno responded by lacing a double to tie the game. Ortuno led the Warbirds with three hits and four funs scored. Then, with the rain pouring down, and with just a few dozen fans still in the park, Filippo di Turi walked it off for Wilson with a single. Di Turi had only entered the game in the 10th after Juan Martinez left the game when he banged knees covering a bunt at first base. The Wilson pitching staff struggled with control all night combining to walk 16 batters. Starter Miqueas Mercedes, who turned 20 on Tuesday, threw four one-run innings, despite four walks. Mercedes struck out six on his birthday. The two relievers (Enniel Cortez and Ismael Yanez) that followed Mercedes walked a whopping 10 men in just 4.1 combined innings. Eric Prado did great work to earn the win, working around the Manfred Man in the extra innings and allowing just one unearned run in 2.2IP. With the win, Wilson cuts Fayetteville’s lead to just one game in the second half standings. RHP Jacob Morrison (0-1, 4.58 ERA) toes the slab for Wilson on Wednesday. ACL Reds 9, ACL Brewers 4 Box Score The ACL Brewers, in the theme of the day, fell behind early and never threatened to make the game close, falling 9-4 in the desert. The pitching staff struggled early and often, starting with opener Rob Zastryzny, who took the loss after recording just two outs and surrendering two earned runs in the opening frame. The Brewers' bullpen couldn't quite stop the bleeding, allowing a pair of home runs and a total of seven earned runs over the course of the night, playing from behind the entire night. Offensively, the Brewers showed some flashes, putting together a seven-hit performance led by multi-hit games from right fielder Gerlyn Payano and first baseman Ramon Flores. Flores sparked the lineup by scoring twice, while Payano drove in a run with a third-inning triple. The highlight of the night for the Brewers offense came late from Engel Paulino, who launched his sixth home run of the season in the top of the eighth. Despite those bright spots, missed opportunities and defensive miscues hindered the Brewers' comeback efforts. The lineup struggled mightily with RISP, going just 1-for-10 and leaving nine runners stranded on base. Coupled with two throwing errors in the field that led to a pair of unearned runs for the Reds, the Brewers simply couldn't string together enough clean innings to close the gap, dropping their season record to 24-25. DSL Brewers Gold 4, DSL Cubs Blue 2, seven innings as scheduled Box Score The DSL Brewers Gold put together a complete team effort to secure a 4-2 victory over the DSL Cubs Blue, bringing their season record to an even 13-13. The story of the day was the Brewers' stellar pitching staff, which combined to hold the Cubs to just a single hit (thought they walked seven) over seven innings. Reliever Paul Hoff (4IP 0H 1ER 4BB 6K) earned his second win of the season with a strong middle-innings performance, while Wandy Cabrera shut the door late to lock down his second save, stifling any hopes of a Cubs comeback. The Brewers' offense broke the game open with a decisive three-run outburst in the top of the fourth inning. Josue Rodriguez delivered the biggest hit of the game, smashing a clutch two-run triple to right field that brought home Angeni Fernandez and Carlos Done. Moments later, Rodriguez showcased some sharp baserunning by hustling home to score on a wild pitch during Manny De Los Santos's at-bat, extending the lead to 3-0. Fernandez and Rodriguez paced the Brewers with two hits apiece. An insurance run in the top of the fifth inning on a single from Enrique Oropeza provided some extra breathing room for the Brewers. The Gold squad has now run off wins in nine of their last 10 games. They reached the .500 mark for the first time all season after an 0-4 start and after being as many as eight games below .500. DSL Padres Gold 7. DSL Brewers Blue 5 (game called after the top of the 9th) Box Score The DSL Brewers Blue suffered a frustrating, weather-shortened 7-5 defeat against the DSL Padres Gold, with a late-game rally that was ultimately cut short. The Brewers dug themselves an early hole, surrendering a run in the first inning and falling victim to a costly four-run fifth inning by the Padres. Starter Luis Aguayo absorbed the loss despite pitching fairly well (3IP 3H 1ER 0BB 3K). Despite trailing 5-0, the Brewers showed plenty of resilience and steadily chipped away at the lead. They got on the board in the bottom of the fifth on a Cristian Montilla infield single. Then added another run in the sixth courtesy of a solo blast by Enrique Lovera. After the Padres extended their lead to 7-2 in the eighth, the Brewers mounted a three-run response in the bottom of the frame, narrowing the gap to just two runs. Just as momentum seemed to be swinging in their favor, Mother Nature intervened. The game was abruptly called due to lightning after the top of the ninth inning, completely stripping the Brewers of their final chance to complete the comeback in the bottom of the ninth. It was a bitter pill to swallow for a squad that had fought back within striking distance before the weather locked in the final score. Montilla and Leanders Matos each had multi-hit days for the Brewers. The newly turned 17 year-old Matos’ OPS on the season is an absurd 1.076. Wilmer Duarte had a rough day on the mound, surrendering six earned runs and hitting four batters in three innings of work. The trio of Lonell Downs, Merwin Manrique, and Manuel Moreno (season debut) all tossed scoreless innings in their appearances for the Brewers. With the loss, the Brewers Blue fell to 15-12 on the season. Wednesday features just the four full-season affiliates, as the rookie ball squads all have the day off. Wilson and Wisconsin get things started with day games at 10AM and 12PM CT respectively.

Game Action: Nashville 8, Jacksonville (Marlins) 4 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Nashville Erases Early Deficit to Take Series Opener over Jumbo Shrimp Nashville showcased their resilience on Tuesday night, erasing an early four-run deficit to defeat Jacksonville 8-4. Things looked grim in the opening frame when Jacksonville tagged Sounds’ starter Thomas Pannone for four quick runs. However, Pannone dug deep and found his rhythm, tossing four consecutive scoreless innings after the rocky first. His ability to stop the bleeding kept Nashville in the game. Nashville's bats chipped away at the lead with single runs in the second and third innings, highlighted by a solo blast from Jeferson Quero, seen here courtesy of the Sounds’ X account: The Sounds then broke things open in the later frames. First steady Eddys Leonard knocked in a run on an RBI single in the 6th. Then Jett Williams followed up with a looping single to tie the game. Leonard has been one of the unsung heroes for the Sounds this year, while being either first or second on the club in hits, doubles, home runs, and OPS. In the 7th, Brock Wilken broke the tie with a clutch three-run home run: Wilken, who saw his playing time diminished in June, finished the night with three hits and was a triple shy of the cycle. For the month of June, Wilken sported a respectable .233/.361/.517 slash line in 72 plate appearances. Luis Lara had two hits including a triple. Williams knocked in two runs on the night before getting ejected (presumably for his frustration on the out call on his game-tying single). While Wilken and the Sounds’ offense provided the fireworks, the comeback would not have been possible without the stellar work from Lyon Richardson. Richardson earned the win in relief by slamming the door on Jacksonville with a line of 3.2 IP, 1H, 0R, 2BB and 2K. Richardson now has a 1.38 ERA in 13IP with Nashville. Nashville is now 47-35 on the season and 4-3 in the second half. Biloxi pre-game media notes Chattanooga (Reds) 6, Biloxi 5 (suspended in the bottom of the 5th, to be completed on Wednesday) Box Score (Thus Far) Mother Nature is the only force more powerful than Andrew Fischer and the Biloxi offense… at least for now. Fischer smoked two two-run home runs in his first two at-bats before the rain came. You can check out the blasts here, courtesy of the Shuckers X account: Jesus Made singled in front of both Fischer dingers and scored twice before play was halted. Not to be overshadowed, the newest Shucker, Josiah Ragsdale, also homered in his second at-bat at the level: Josh Adamczewski was 0-for-2, and will look to extend his AA hit streak to 11 games tomorrow. He did come up with this fine throw from left field though: They’ll try to play two (or one and a half) tomorrow. RHP Manuel Rodriguez (7-2, 4.66 ERA) was originally slated to start Wednesday’s game for Biloxi. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Wisconsin 5, Peoria (Cardinals) 4 Box Score Wisconsin Holds on for Win at Peoria Wisconsin showed their mettle on Tuesday in their 5-4 victory over Peoria. The game swung back-and-forth in the early innings, and then Wisconsin held on for the one-run victory over the final five scoreless innings. Wisconsin struck first and built a 3-0 advantage, highlighted by Tayden Hall's two-run homer in the top of the third. Check out Hall’s shot courtesy of the Rattlers’ X account: Hall paced the Rattlers with three hits on the night. However, Peoria immediately responded with a massive four-run rally in the bottom half of the frame to erase the deficit and take the lead. Refusing to be rattled, the Wisconsin offense answered the very next inning when center fielder Braylon Payne launched his 16th home run of the year, a crucial two-run shot that put the Timber Rattlers back on top for good: Could Payne soon be the next Rattler to earn a promotion? He’s carrying a .983 OPS with the conclusion of Tuesday’s game. The Rattlers managed 11 hits, including multi-hit games from Eric Bitonti, Luis Castillo, and Tyler Rodriguez in his High A ball debut. However, the team could have put the game away had they had more success with RISP, finishing 1-for-12 on the night. On the mound, starting pitcher Josh Knoth rebounded from the rocky third inning to finish five solid frames, striking out four and earning his second win of the season. The 20-year-old Knoth finished June with a 20:5 K:BB ratio in 21.2IP. The bullpen then completely shut the door on any Peoria comeback hopes. Jason Woodward and Quinton Low were spectacular in relief, combining to throw four scoreless innings while striking out five to preserve the one-run advantage, with Low recording the final five outs to notch his first save of the year. The win moves Wisconsin to an impressive 43-29 on the season and 8-1 in the second half. RHP Ethan Dorchies (2-5, 5.84) will look to build on his strong month of June when he takes the hill as we flip the page to July. Dorchies carried a 3.18 ERA in 20IP in the month of June and was dominant (7IP 5H 1ER 1BB 3K) his last time out. Wilson pre-game media notes Wilson 3, Kannapolis (White Sox) 2, F/11 Box Score Wilson Outlasts Kannapolis in 11-Inning Marathon Wilson secured a dramatic 3-2 walk-off victory in 11 innings against Kannapolis on Tuesday night at Wilson Ballpark. After falling behind 2-0 early in the game, the Warbirds' offense finally scraped together a pair of runs in the bottom of the 6th. The Warbirds plated two runs on RBI groundouts from Juan Ortuno and Alexander Frias, with just one hit (a leadoff single from Handelfry Encarnacion) in the inning. The score remained knotted at two apiece thanks in large part to a dominant relief effort from the Warbirds staff. After starter Hayden Robinson gave up two runs over his five innings of work, reliever Miqueas Mercedes took over and completely silenced the Kannapolis’ bats. Mercedes tossed four scoreless innings, allowing just three hits and striking out four to keep the Warbirds in the game. Joshua Quezada then took the mound for extra innings and was perfect, pitching two hitless, scoreless frames in the 10th and 11th with three strikeouts to earn his third win of the season. That set the scene for Jadyn Fielder to be the hero in the bottom of the 11th. With a runner starting on second, Kevin Garcia singled to put runners on the corners. Fielder came through with a single and the Warbirds had another walk-off victory. Fielder, who earlier had a double, accounted for half of Wilson’s four hits on the night. With the win, Wilson moves to 5-5 in the second half and 41-35 on the season. RHP Tyler Renz (2-3, 4.60 ERA) is slated to take the mound on Wednesday for Wilson. ACL Padres 8, ACL Brewers 4 Box Score It was a tough night in the Arizona Complex League for the Brewers’ side. The Padres capitalized on the nine free passes and a couple of costly Brewers fielding errors to build a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Starter Dariel Jaquez flashed some swing-and-miss stuff with three strikeouts but ultimately took the loss after issuing six walks in just three innings of work. Joan Pena surrendered six runs (though only three were earned) over four innings, plagued by four wild pitches. Despite the messy play on the mound and in the field, the Brewers' offense showed some life in the late innings. Trailing 5-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, the Brewers’ bats finally woke up. Engel Paulino delivered the biggest blow of the frame, ripping a clutch two-run double, that cut the deficit to a tantalizingly close 5-4. Kenny Fenelon also drove in a run with a double of his own in the inning. Unfortunately, the momentum was short-lived. The Padres immediately answered back with a three-run seventh inning to put the game out of reach and seal the 8-4 final. First baseman Roderick Flores was a bright spot at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with two runs scored, an RBI, and a stolen base. The ACL Brewers are now 23-21 on the season. DSL Tampa Bay 8, DSL Brewers Blue 3 Box Score The DSL Brewers Blue dropped an 8-3 decision to DSL Tampa Bay in a game defined by severe control issues from the Brewers' pitching staff. Starter Luis Aguayo struggled right out of the gate, surrendering five earned runs on five hits in just 1.1 innings to take the loss. The bullpen couldn't seem to find the strike zone either, as the Brewers' staff combined to issue a staggering 11 walks, four hit batters, and five wild pitches constantly giving Tampa Bay free baserunners and putting themselves in high-stress situations. Despite the constant traffic on the basepaths, the Brewers were actually quite fortunate the final score wasn't far more lopsided. With the 15 free passes and nine hits allowed, Tampa Bay had runners on base all afternoon but failed to capitalize on the vast majority of their opportunities, going a dismal 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position. Reliever Wilmer Duarte helped stem the bleeding and kept the game from getting completely out of hand, eating up five innings and allowing just one run, though he danced around danger by walking four and hitting three batters of his own. Offensively, the Brewers Blue simply couldn't generate enough consistent offense to dig themselves out of the early hole. They managed eight hits on the day, highlighted by second baseman Leanders Matos, who went 2-for-4, with two runs driven in, and provided a late spark with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. The 16-year-old is putting himself on the prospect radar with a 1.029 OPS in his first 20 games. Right fielder Frandy Lafond added a pair of singles to up his average to .372 on the season. Shortstop Jose Rodriguez was on base three times (single, two walks) and the 17-year-old has a .844 OPS through his first 22 games of DSL play. However, much like their opponents, the Brewers struggled to deliver the clutch hit when it mattered most, finishing the game just 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and leaving seven men on base. Just one early morning DSL game tomorrow. Then we'll have our normal affiliate games in the evening, and the completion of Biloxi's game as well. How many home runs will Andrew Fischer hit tomorrow?

C Andrick Nava assigned to Nashville Sounds from Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Nashville Sounds transferred C Andrick Nava to the Development List.

Also, it’s been reported, but not yet official, that Peter Strzelecki has signed a minor league contract with the Brewers and will return to Nashville. Game Action: Nashville pre-game media notes Nashville 12, Gwinnett (Braves) 5 Box Score Via the Sounds, game details, and we encourage readers to always review affiliate write-ups as part of their Link Report routine: Brock Wilken, Tyler Black Record First Multi-Slam Game in Sounds History - Luis Lara Sets Career-High with Five Hits Nashville flexed their muscle Tuesday night, routing the Gwinnett Stripers 12-5 thanks to explosive late-game heroics. Trailing 4-3 entering the bottom of the sixth inning, the Sounds' bats erupted to completely flip the script. Brock Wilken delivered the defining blow of the rally, launching a devastating grand slam to swing the momentum permanently in Nashville's favor. Check out Wilken’s slam courtesy of the Sounds’ X account: Not to be outdone, Tyler Black punctuated the offensive showcase with another grand slam in the eighth inning, putting the game completely out of reach: For two guys who have had their shares of ups and downs, it was really cool to see Wilken and Black share this rare feat together. But there’s more! Luis Lara’s bat finally reawakened. Entering play Tuesday, Lara was slashing just .174/.309/.174 in June. Lara made that look like a distant memory while going a flawless 5-for-5 with a double and two RBIs. You can check out all five hits in rapid succession here. Meanwhile, catcher Jeferson Quero delivered an electric performance of his own, falling just a double shy of the cycle. Quero went 4-for-5, launching a solo home run in the eighth: Quero’s triple, the fifth of his professional career, just missed going out to straight away center as well. While the monumental power display stole the show, the Sounds' bullpen did its job to quiet the Stripers and secure the victory. After Gwinnett put up four runs in the top of the fifth against starter Thomas Pannone, the bullpen took over and shut Gwinnett down. Gerson Garabito earned the win with two scoreless, one-hit innings of relief. Drew Rom and Easton McGee also chipped in combining to close out the final three frames with just an unearned run allowed. RHP Lyon Richardson (2-2, 4.54 ERA in AAA with Louisville and Nashville) is scheduled to make his first start for Nashville on Wednesday. Richardson, a former second round pick of the Reds, only joined the Brewers’ organization earlier in June. Biloxi pre-game media notes Biloxi 5, Montgomery (Rays) 1 Box Score As always, you are encouraged to read the official round-up from the team’s site: Gillis, Offense Lead Shuckers to Win in Second-Half Opener - Fischer hits 3rd home run in 5 Double-A games with sky-scraping shot Biloxi opened the second half of their Southern League season with an impressive and complete victory over Montgomery on Tuesday night. The new look Shuckers' offense was clicking on all cylinders with the team pounding out 13 hits, with everyone but Mark Coley II collecting at least one hit. Catcher Darrien Miller led the charge with a 3-for-4 night and an RBI. Josh Adamczewski had a two-hit day including this run scoring double, courtesy of the Biloxi X account: Adamczewski has hit safely in all five games since his promotion to AA. So has his teammate Andrew Fischer who launched his 3rd home run in five games at the level: Watching these two seamlessly fit into the Biloxi lineup to support has been really exciting so far. It no longer feels like Jesús Made or Blake Burke have to do the heavy lifting, and the Shuckers' lineup suddenly feels so much deeper. Other players in the Shuckers lineup are coming around too. Mike Boeve extended his hit streak to seven games with a two-hit night, and Jacob Hurtubise also had two hits and drove in a pair. On the mound, the Shuckers got a strong performance from starter Tanner Gillis who threw six scoreless innings. Gillis struck out four, allowing just two hits and two walks to improve to 3-3 on the season. Yorman Galindez (0-2, 10.13 ERA) will take the mound for Biloxi on Wednesday night. Wisconsin pre-game media notes Wisconsin 5, Cedar Rapids (Twins) 0 Box Score Rattlers Run Winning Streak to Three with 5-0 Shutout - Owens strikes out eight over five scoreless innings Wisconsin secured a dominant 5-0 shutout victory over Cedar Rapids on Tuesday night at Neuroscience Group Field. Strong pitching and a single, explosive inning on offense were the winning formula for the Rattlers, who improved their second half record to 3-0. The Timber Rattlers' pitching staff was completely in control, holding the Kernels' offense to just three hits and one walk while racking up 11 strikeouts. Starter Braylon Owens picked up the win with eight strikeouts over five scoreless innings. Owens’ lowered his ERA to 3.84 with his superb performance. Multi-inning scoreless appearances from Garrett Hodges and Peyton Niksch slammed the door on the thought of any sort of Cedar Rapids rally. The bats were quiet on both sides until the bottom of the fourth inning when Wisconsin broke the game wide open. The rally started innocently, with Eric Bitonti drawing a walk and Tayden Hall poking a single to center. After a balk advanced both runners, Daniel Guilarte broke the scoreless tie with a sharp RBI single to left field. Juan Baez followed with an RBI single of his own to make it 2-0. After a Blayberg Diaz single and a walk to Josiah Ragsdale loaded the bases, Marco Dinges delivered the knockout punch. Dinges grounded a single to center field to score two, with a throwing error from the centerfielder allowing Ragsdale to come home, capping off a five-run frame that put the game entirely out of reach. Check out all the highlights on the Rattlers’ YouTube page: RHP Josh Knoth (0-0, 2.70 ERA) toes the rubber for Wisconsin in game two on Wednesday. Wilson pre-game media notes Wilson 15, Fredericksburg (Nationals) 2 Box Score Wilson Blasts Fredericksburg in Series Opener Wilson put on an absolute offensive clinic Tuesday night, crushing the first half champions Fredericksburg 15-2. The Warbirds' lineup was relentless, racking up 12 hits and capitalizing on a dumbfounding 16 walks issued by Nationals pitching to hang some crooked numbers in the linescore through the first six innings. Ultimately things got so bad for Fredericksburg that only a position player on the mound could shut down the Warbirds’ offense late in the game. Shortstop Brady Ebel was the draw stirring the drink for the Warbirds' offense, finishing the game just a triple shy of the cycle. He put together a spectacular 4-for-5 performance at the plate, driving in four runs and scoring three times. His night was highlighted by a two-run blast which you can see courtesy of the Wilson X account: Alexander Frias made his Carolina League debut as the designated hitter and immediately made his presence felt. Frias went 1-for-5, recording his first hit, first run, and first RBI in Wilson. However, his biggest impact came on the basepaths, where he collected three stolen bases. Leftfielder Nick Monile recorded professional highs with three walks and four runs scored. Slugger Jose Anderson knocked in two runs with a double and a single. Anderson leads the Carolina league with 52 RBI on the season. Juan Ortuno knocked in a run and stole his 20th base. Leadoff man Handelfry Encarnacion was on base three times and also scored three runs. The hit parade was so long, and the highlights so numerous, I recommend you click through the video highlights here, rather than link each play individually. Not to be overshadowed by the offense, the Warbirds got two solid performances on the mound as well. Starter Jarrette Bonet had his best start since May 22, working five innings of two-run ball with five strikeouts. Hayden Robinson backed up Bonet with four scoreless innings to earn his professional save. It was the first appearance of the season for Robinson where he did not walk a batter or allow a run. Wilson moves to 38-32 on the season and 2-2 in the second half. RHP Miqueas Mercedes (1-1, 5.13 ERA) heads to the hill for Wilson on Wednesday. ACL Brewers 2, ACL Angels 1, seven innings as scheduled Box Score The ACL Brewers showcased exactly how to maximize limited offensive opportunities on Tuesday, scraping out a dramatic 2-1 walk-off victory over the ACL Angels despite mustering only two hits all evening. The foundation of the victory was built on a quality start on the mound. Joan Pena settled in beautifully after giving up a lone run in the first inning, grinding through six strong frames. He scattered just three hits and struck out four, successfully working around four walks to keep the Angels' lineup at bay and give his team a chance. Offensively, Milwaukee relied entirely on the long ball to manufacture their runs against the Angels’ pitching staff. After trailing for the first four innings, Brailyn Antunez hit a solo home run to tie the game in the bottom of the 4th. It was Antunez' 7th homer of the year, which is best on the team. The game remained deadlocked until the bottom of the seventh, when Juan Martinez stepped up and delivered a clutch, walk-off solo home run to lead off the bottom of the 7th. The win gets the ACL Brewers back above .500 with a 20-19 record. Outfielder Gerlyn Payano made his stateside debut as the designated hitter, 0-for-2 with a walk. DSL Cleveland Goryl DSL 12, Brewers Blue 8 Box Score Despite a strong start and some early offensive fireworks, the DSL Brewers Blue couldn't hold off a relentless late-game surge from DSL Cleveland Goryl, falling 12-8 in a wild, high-scoring affair on Tuesday. The Brewers came out swinging, building a quick 4-0 lead by the end of the second inning. Third baseman Diego Frontado was the star for the Brewers, finishing the day 2-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a double that sparked a two-run first inning. The 17-year-old Venezuelan now sports a 1.064 OPS with the completion of Tuesday’s game. First baseman Eryks Rivero (2-for-3, RBI) and right fielder Angel Gonzalez (2-for-4, RBI) also put together multi-hit performances, each ripping a double of their own. Catcher Sebastian Franeites also chipped in two singles and an RBI on the day. Things began to unravel for the Brewers in the bottom of the 5th inning. After starter Luis Aguayo threw two clean innings to stake the Brewers to their early lead, the Brewers' bullpen simply couldn't find the strike zone. Wilmer Duarte (2.2 IP 4ER 6BB) and Jordy Brache (2.1 IP 8ER 5BB) took the brunt of the damage, surrendering all 12 runs and issuing 11 walks in their combined five innings. Cleveland battered the Brewers for multi-run rallies in each of their last four innings, flipping the score from a four-run Brewers' lead into a five-run deficit heading into the 9th inning. While the offense battled to the end with a pair of one-run rallies in the 8th and 9th innings, it was simply too deep of a hole for the Brewers to climb out of. The loss drops the Brewers Blue to 12-5 on the season. DSL Brewers Gold 3, DSL Pirates Gold 1 Box Score The DSL Brewers Gold took care of business on Tuesday morning, leaning on rock-solid pitching and just enough offense to secure a 3-1 victory over the DSL Pirates Gold. Paul Hoff was dialed in on the mound for the Brewers in his longest outing of the season. Hoff (5IP 2H 0R 1BB 5K) silenced the Pirates’ bats on his way to his first win of the season. The Brewers made the most of their five hits on the day and then benefitted from some poor Pirates’ defense. The scoring opened in the bottom of the 3rd inning when Romano Donato wreaked havoc on the basepaths. After reaching on a fielding error, Donato immediately stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by the Pirates' catcher. Shortstop Ricki Moneys then stepped up and delivered a clutch RBI single to center, bringing Donato home and putting the Brewers up 1-0. Milwaukee found their insurance runs in the bottom of the 6th. Left fielder Angeni Fernandez ignited the rally by lacing a triple to lead off the frame. Following back-to-back walks to Moises Salazar and Carlos Done that loaded the bases, Jefer Lista put the ball in play and reached on a critical fielding error by the Pirates' third baseman. The miscue allowed both Fernandez and Salazar to score, extending the Brewers' lead to 3-0. The Brewers' early execution and ability to capitalize on Pittsburgh's sloppy defense proved to be the difference-maker. The Brewers, now 5-12 with the win, proved to be the true “gold” standard while the Pirates proved to be mere fools’ gold in defeat. What an epic night across the system! Wednesday will see just one rookie ball game in the morning in the DSL. Wisconsin has a day game at noon central. The rest of the full-season squads will get started in the evening, as per usual.
