Of course, the draft isn’t the only way to add upside to the farm. Lost in the prospect explosion was this minor move: On June 2, the Milwaukee Brewers purchased the contract of 6’0” 27-year-old righty Danny Reynolds from the Sugar Land Skeeters of the independent Atlantic League.

The Carolina League's top pitcher, LHP Cam Roegner, is one of four Mudcats represented on the Southern Division roster for the Carolina League All-Star Game. He is joined by fellow Carolina players in RHP Marcos Diplan , INF Tucker Neuhaus and C Max McDowell who leads all of Minor League Baseball in caught stealing this season.

 

Mudcats also named to the initial Southern Division roster, but unable to participate due to recent promotions are 2B Keston Hiura and RHP Trey Supak.

Final: DSL Brewers 8, DSL D-backs2 7

 

DSL Brewers Box Score

 

The Brewers plated two runs in the top of the ninth to come back and defeat the D-backs by a score of 8-7, improving their record to 6-4 on the season. Leoner Colina made his second start of the year and went four innings, allowing all seven runs. Santiago Elizando followed with four scoreless frames, allowing just one hit and striking out six, to notch his first win. Jhoan Cruz struck out the side in the ninth to earn the save. Larry Ernesto was in the leadoff spot and was on base four times, going 2-for-3 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. Hot-hitting Carlos Rodriguez slid down into the number three spot and continued to rake, collecting two doubles and a single to go along with a base on balls. Catcher Farlyn Manon belted his first home run of the year and finished with 4 RBIs while also drawing a pair of walks.

Final: DSL Indians 12, DSL Indians/Brewers 10

 

DSL Indians/Brewers Box Score

 

In a game that included 16 total walks and eight total errors, the Brewers co-op team came up a little bit short, falling by a score of 12-10. Joel Munoz, serving as the designated hitter today, had the lone multi-hit game, collecting a pair of doubles. Outfielder Bryan Connell socked his third home run of the season while Vitor Watanabe contributed a triple and Reidy Mercado and Rafael Brito each chipped in a base hit. Mercado swiped his fourth base of the season but was also caught for the third time in seven attempts. No Brewers pitchers saw action in this one.

So the Indians scored 12 runs, but all 12 runs were scored off of Indians pitchers. All told Indians pitchers gave up 22 runs in that game.

Walk off homer for Hiura.....the legend continues to grow.....

Per Helena Brewers

 

Carmona singles, steals 2nd & 3rd, then comes home on a double-steal. Lujano follows with an RBI single, Pinero an RBI double, & McClanahan an RBI double. 5-0 #BrewCrew going B2 #OneHelenaCrew

 

Carmona will be exciting! Brewers beat Helena Senators in exhibition game 8-1

[Jenkins5]

Walk off homer for Hiura.....the legend continues to grow.....

 

Hard to believe come September, he could not help Brewers out off bench. He just has made mockery of pitchers at every level so far. Kid simple can hit like no prospect we have seen since Braun. If his defense checks out at at least average. I don’t see if he keeps up his tored pace up, he doesn’t force Brewers hand. Not like we have any stars crushing it ahead of him

Final: Biloxi 6, Mississippi 5

 

Hiura When You Need Him the Most, Shuckers Walk-Off with #1 Prospect's Home Run

Biloxi Drops Magic Number Down to Two

By Spencer Siegel

 

 

Biloxi Box Score

 

Keston Hiura hit a walk off HR in the bottom of the 9th to propel the Shuckers to a 6-5 victory over the Braves.

 

The Shuckers got a good performance from Thomas Jankins on the mound (only 1 earned run over six innings), and a key bases-loaded pinch triple from Clint Coulter in the 8th inning, which tied the game.

 

With the victory, plus a lose by Mobile, the Shuckers magic number to clinch the South Division first half title stands at two with four games left to play.

Keston Hiura: 3-4, 2B, HR, BB (walk off HR)

Trent Grisham: 1-2, 2BB

Where is Milled?

 

Guessing you mean Brad Miller.

 

After any trade, outright or waiver claim, there's a period of time the player is allowed to report. Expect it soon. Technically, he's on the Sky Sox "reserve list".

[Mass Haas]

There are 11 "Alec's" currently playing affiliated MiLB ball.

 

The Brewers have four (Asher, Crawford, Kenilvort, Bettinger).

 

Breaking down these hundreds of Brewer-based box scores each year will do this to you. Keeps the mind sharp, I guess...

Usual fine write-up and notes at the link above, although the Thursday pitching matchup listed seems incorrect. It looks like it'll be former Brewer farmhand RHP Drew Gagnon for the Mets' AAA club, TBA for the Sky Sox.

Box Score / Game Log

 

Nate Orf doubled twice and walked three times. Bye, bye slump.

 

The .922 OPS is fine (even Colorado Springs-adjusted), but Jacob Nottingham's golden sombrero has him at 36 K's in 102 AAA at-bats.

 

Jett Bandy has started four games since his outright assignment. One behind the plate; this was his 3rd at first base. Big offensive night for him.

 

Big-time blast from the past: 24-year-old Joshua Torres, eleased by the Crew in spring training 2016, was called up to AAA y the Mets after a strong start to his AAA season. Who knew?
