Jukich

Louisville won 3-1 behind another good outing by Ben Jukich. The Soulsucker went 6 2/3 innings and gave up 1 run on 3 hits while striking out 5. Jukich hasn't given up more than 3 runs in a start in over a month. Chris Heisey and Corky Miller had two hits each, and Robert Manuel pitched a perfect 9th for his 9th save of the season. Up next: The Bats take on Syracuse at 7 behind Matt Maloney.

Parker

Carolina beat Huntsville 8-4. Tom Cochran pitched 5 innings of 3-run ball, and Enerio Del Rosario gave up 1 run in his first 2 innings of AA. Logan Parker went 3-for-5 with 2 RBI, and Jose Castro, Korey Feiner, Todd Frazier, and Stephen Chapman all had multi-hit games, with Chapman hitting his 3rd HR of the year. On the other side, former farmhand Drew T. Anderson had 3 hits for the Stars. Up next: Scott Carroll makes his first start for the Mudcats after his recent promotion at 8.

Dave Sappelt, Neftali Soto, and Alex Buchholz all had two hits each. Up next: Jeremy Horst takes on Dunedin at 7.
J.C. Sulbaran left with a blister, but Dayton won anyway against Wisconsin, 4-1. Before he left, he had pitched 4 2/3 innings of 1-run ball while striking out 6. Aguido Gonzalez pitched 2 scoreless innings for his 11th save of the year, and Josh Fellhauer led the offense with 2 hits. Up next: Lance Janke takes on Wisconsin at 8:05.
Billings lost to Missoula 6-4, as Luca Panerati had another iffy start. He gave up 4 runs in 6 innings. Thomas Nurre and Efrain Contreras had two hits each. Up next: Tim Crabbe takes on Missoula at 9:05.
The GCL Reds scored in the 9th of a 3-2 game to take the game into extras, scored a run in the top of the 16th, but gave up 2 in the bottom of the inning to lose to the GCL Orioles 5-4 in 16. Henry Rodriguez and Cristobal Rodriguez were both 3-for-7, and the G-Reds had 15 hits in all. Alexander Smit started the game and pitched an inning in a rehab assignment, and was perfect. Harold Johnson gave up 2 runs (1 earned) in 4 innings, and Jeremy Ware gave up 1 run in 4 innings. Nathan Driessen was great in relief, giving up only 1 hit in his 4 innings. Jacob Wiley blew his first save of the season in the bottom of the 16th. Up next: They take on the GCL Red Sox at noon.

Jukich’s picture alone sucked about .4% of my soul through my computer screen.

I watched a chunk of the Dragons game flipping back and forth

Sulbaran looked good and like a guy who could make it to the bigs. There was a middle innings pitcher who didn’t look bad either. The Rattlers pitcher had stuff that could pitch tomorrow in the majors, but hey, inconsistent mechanics and comes over the plate with waist high fastballs. Whattya know, A ball hitters can square those up. At least they didn’t send any out.
