AAA - Omaha 7 Oklahoma City 0
Jarred Cosart's command failed him for a third straight start as he walked 4 hitters in 5+ innings and the RedHawks (33-27) suffered a 7-0 loss at the hands of the Storm Chasers. Oklahoma City managed just 5 hits in the game and a Brett Wallace error led to 4 unearned runs as not much went right for the visitors. Kevin Chapman and C.J. Fick each tossed scoreless innings in relief.
AA - San Antonio 7 Corpus Christi 4
George Springer hit his 18th home run and stole his 18th base, but the Missions rallied for 4 runs against Sergio Escalona in a 7-4 win over the Hooks (38-24).

Nick Tropeano tossed 3 shutout innings in relief and fanned 5 in a losing effort.
Advanced A - San Jose 5 Lancaster 3
Joe Sclafani had 2 more hits and 2 runs batted in, but the JetHawks once again fell to the Giants, this time by a score of 5-3.

Delino DeShields was 1 for 3 with a walk, but was caught stealing for the 9th time this season.
Low A - Peoria 9 Quad Cities 1
Jake Westbrook, making a rehab start for the Chiefs, completely overmatched the River Bandits lineup limiting them to 1 run on 4 hits in 7 innings of work as Quad Cities (34-27) was blown out 9-1. Ariel Ovando had an rbi double in 3 trips and Rio Ruiz added a double, but that was about it for highlights in a game that was all Peoria from the outset. Juan Minaya made his first start of the season and suffered the loss allowing 4 runs in 4 innings of work.
