So maybe Hernan Perez isn't off to Olympic qualifying after all...

 

Actually, turns out while he played Friday for Nashville, he did make it to the qualifying tournament's first game Monday in Port St. Lucie, FL.

 

Box Score

 

Venezuela defeats Cuba, 6-5

 

Perez was a double shy of a cycle.

 

LF Alexander Palma was 3-for-5, 1B Luis Castro 0-for-5, both on loan from Bilox.

 

***

 

In the US 7-1 win over Nicaragua, 2B Logan Forsythe, loaned from Nashville, was 1-for-2.

 

***

 

No Brewers connections (how can that be, Doug Melvin and Gord Ash?), but noteworthy in that the Canucks pitched a no-hitter vs. Colombia.

[Mass Haas]

On Saturday, Biloxi infielder Tyler Friis was involved in an awkward collision with the first baseman as he grounded out.

 

The MiLB archive shows Friis' injury was around his head, which he was holding as he exited after the 3rd inning play. As one might expect, Friis did not play Sunday.

 

Hopefully OK, he did leave on his own power.

Is this the guy who was supposedly hitting 100 on the gun ?

 

102 even, according to this Tweet

[markedman5]

Good night for Small…..11 ks abd only 1 hit through 5 scoreless……..4 walks though which continues to be a problem area.

[Mass Haas]

First of all, catch up on the past 24 hours of six video tweets via @BrewersPD -- highlights from the weekend spanning all four affiliates.

[Mass Haas]

Box: Nashville 6, Charlotte (White Sox) 4

 

Sounds Power Past Knights for 13th Straight Win

Nashville Drills Three Homers in Series-Opening Win in Charlotte

 

Eight consecutive scoreless appearances for RHP Luke Barker after he was touched up in two of his first three games.

 

Outfield depth takes a big hit, hopefully the exits of Corey Ray and Dustin Peterson you just read about lead to short stints away. Derek Fisher (last played on 5/25), Jace Peterson (5/22), Cooper Hummel (only DH'ing since his return) possible options. Tim Lopes certainly isn't a center fielder, but with Tyrone Taylor's call-up, that's who you have to plug in there.

Box: Montgomery (Rays) 5, Biloxi 2

 

Slammed Again - Biscuits Eighth Inning Grand Slam Downs Shuckers

Small Strikes Out Career-Best 11 In Five Innings

VIDEO package via the Shuckers: Garrett Greene on the call (remotely) for all of Small's K's

 

Nice to see Payton Henry back after a brief time away after that foul tip to the shoulder exit over the weekend.

 

Shuckers pitchers walk seven, and Biloxi batters don't draw a single one of their own.

 

Tristen Lutz scuffling since his torrid start to the season...

Box: Wisconsin 3, Peoria (Cardinals) 0
