Triple-A - Las Vegas 51's (58-45)_______________________________________
LAS VEGAS 8, TACOMA 11 (Box)
- CF Matt den Dekker: 2-4, R, 3B, RBI, BB; Has quietly brought his slash up to .309/.376/.500
- SS Matt Reynolds: 0-4, BB, K
- 2B Wilmer Flores: 3-5
- IF Allan Dykstra: DNP
- DH Andrew Brown: 0-4, BB, K
- 1B Josh Satin: 0-4, BB, 2 K
- C Taylor Teagarden: 1-4, 3 R, HR, RBI, K
- 3B Daniel Muno: 2-5, 2 R, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, 3 K
- LF Cesar Puello: 3-3, R, 2B, 2 RBI; HAIL CESAR!
- LHP Darin Gorski: 5 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 9 K; When I saw the final score and began scrolling down to the pitching lines, my thought was, "I wonder how badly Gorski got bombed." Was not expecting nine strikeouts over just five innings. Perhaps Gorski can succeed in the way that Tommy Milone has?
Double-A - Binghamton Mets (60-40)_____________________________________
BINGHAMTON 4, PORTLAND 6 (Box)
- RF Kyle Johnson: 1-4, K
- 2B Dilson Herrera: 1-4, 2B, RBI
- 1B Brian Burgamy: 1-4, R, HR, RBI, K
- 3B Dustin Lawley: 0-4, 2 K
- SS T.J. Rivera: 4-4, R
- CF Brandon Nimmo: 1-3, R, HR, 2 RBI, BB, K; Continues to show solid power since the promotion. The homer last night went to left-center field and it's not the first time he's gone yard to the opposite field since arriving in Bingo. I think it's the third time, if memory serves.
- LF Darrell Ceciliani: 1-4, K
- DH Travis Taijeron: 0-4, 2 K
- C Xorge Carrillo: 1-3, R
- RHP Gabriel Ynoa: 5.2 IP, 8 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 0 BB, 3 K; Solid, if unspectacular, outing from Ynoa. He's definitely settled in after a rough first start.
Advanced-A - St. Lucie Mets (17-11 / 57-40)_____________________________________
ST LUCIE 2, TAMPA 5 (Box)
Low-A - Savannah Sand Gnats (19-11 / 63-33)__________________________________
POSTPONED (RAIN)
Short-A - Brooklyn Cyclones (18-19)__________________________________
WILLIAMSPORT 2, BROOKLYN 5 (Box)
Brooklyn played a getaway day matinee game yesterday, and with Marcos Molina on the bump they didn't have to wait long to pack their bags. Molina allowed two runs on seven hits, striking out eight and walking one over seven innings. The game took just two hours and twenty five minutes to complete, which given the game they televised on SNY the other night seems impossible. A good portion of the credit should go to Molina, who is the midst of one of the more impressive Brooklyn pitching seasons we've seen in a while, he would have fit in nicely with the fabled 2012 rotation.

- SS Amed Rosario: 2-3, RBI, BB
- 2B Anthony Chavez: 0-3, 2 K

- RF Michael Bernal: 0-4, RBI, 2 K
- CF Tucker Tharp: 1-3, R, K
- RHP Marcos Molina: 7 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 ER, BB, 8 K
