Like a quality middle reliever, @damuelleoften comes in and provides that meaningful mid-day coverage of our DSL affiliates.

Here's Daniel giving us his recap:

It was also Round 2 of starting pitchers Osbriel Mogollon (1.21 season ERA) vs. Anfernny Reyes (1.10 season ERA) - aka Pity the Hitters.
The 18-year old southpaws were solid as always, combining for 8 IP, 3 R (2 ER), 4 H, 5 BB, 3 WP, 10 Ks. Each allowed one earned run and while Mogollon didn’t allow a hit to the outfield, he also threw the three wild pitches and exited down 2-1 on a pair of sacrifice flies.
DSL Brewers-1 brought home three runs in the 5th inning to claim the 4-2 lead, which held up. SS Jhonny Severino (.787 season OPS) hit his second double of the game to start that rally.
3B Richard Rojas hit the clutch 2-out, 2-run single which gave DSL Brewers-1 a 3-2 lead. The inning also featured two hit batsmen, a wild pitch, walk and a balk.
DSL Brewers-2 did put two runners on in the 5th inning and loaded the bases in the 6th inning, but couldn’t get the key hit, going 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position in the game (though DSL Brewers-1 wasn’t much better at 1-for-13).
18-year old LHP Jhofez Mejias inherited that bases loaded, two-out situation in the 6th inning, inducing a ground out to escape, then retiring the side in the 7th inning to earn his first save."

Box Score/Game Log
I personally take note when the young Johnny Severino completes a game minus any throwing or fielding errors because that's been a struggle for the young prospect in 2022. Today, he put up a clean fielding sheet. Finally, I'll give a mention, via the last tag, to INF Richard Rojas for plating the winning runs with his fifth inning single.

And, here's a highlight package from Brewers Player Development Twitter of improving ACL pitcher, Yujanyer Herrera:
As I noted in the above-mentioned 'Minor League Game Thread':
