AAA - Salt Lake 9 Oklahoma City 3
Jarred Cosart was tremendous once again, but his quality start was wasted by the bullpen as the RedHawks (22-14) relievers surrendered 8 runs over the final 2 innings in a 9-3 loss to the Bees. Cosart allowed just a run on 2 hits in 6 innings of work lowering his AAA ERA to 2.08, but Kevin Chapman and Rhiner Cruz couldn't hold the lead. The RedHawks offense was limited to just 5 hits in the loss, but Marc Krauss did pick up his 27th rbi of the season.
AA - Frisco 5 Corpus Christi 2
Jiovanni Mier hit his 4th home run of the season, but it wasn't enough as the RoughRiders defeated the Hooks (21-15) 5-2. Mier had two of the Hooks' 5 hits as with George Springer on the bench the offense lacked punch striking out 13 times. Ruben Alaniz fell to 0-4 on the season after allowing 4 runs in 5 innings.
Advanced A - Lancaster 2 Stockton 0
Kyle Hallock and Luis Cruz combined on a no-hitter as the JetHawks (22-15) defeated the Ports 2-0. Hallock, making his first appearance for Lancaster after getting sent down from AAA, went 5 innings, and was perfect with the exception of a Delino DeShields error. Cruz followed him up and walked 1 hitter in his 4 innings of work, and fanned 4. A Preston Tucker sacrifice fly and a Delino DeShields squeeze supplied all the offense as the JetHawks managed only 2 hits themselves.
Low A - Peoria 4 Quad Cities 2
Rio Ruiz hit a 2-run homer, but it wasn't enough for the River Bandits (20-15) as they came up short against the Chiefs, 4-2. Colton Cain suffered his 4th loss of the season in relief even though he allowed just 2 hits in 4 innings of work. Mike Hauschild started for the Bandits and turned in a solid effort allowing just 1 earned run in 5 inning of work. Jesse Wierzbicki had 2 of Quad Cities' 5 hits to lead the offense.
