- Louisville lost 6-5 to Toledo in 11 innings. Chris Valaika had a good night, going 3-for-5 with 2 doubles and Jeremy Hermida hit a 3-run homer, his 15th of the year. Chad Reineke started and gave up 2 runs in 4 innings, and Jared Burton (you know, the guy people on twitter are itching to see in the Reds bullpen) gave up 3 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Carlos Fisher and Jordan Smith pitched 2 scoreless innings each, and both pose better options than Burton right now. That's 5 straight scoreless appearances for Smith (6 IP). Up next: Edinson Volquez takes on Indy at 7:05.
- Carolina lost 6-4 to Montgomery. Quintin Berry and Mike Costanzo had two hits each, and Didi Gregorius (remember him?) was 2-for-3 with his first homer of the year. Up next: Mudcats take on the Biscuits at 7:15, starter TBA.
- Bakersfield lost 6-3 to Rancho Cucamonga. Mark Serrano struggled in his start, giving up 5 runs in less than 5 innings, but struck out 6. Carlos Mendez and Jorge Jimenez drove in runs. Up next: J.C. Sulbaran takes on the Quakes at 10:05.
- Dayton beat West Michigan 7-2. Stalin Gerson gave up 2 runs in 5 2/3 innings. Jefry Sierra led the way with 3 hits, and Juan Duran and David Vidal homered for the Dragons. Up next: Josh Smith takes on West Michigan at 7.
- Billings beat Great Falls 10-6. It was a big night for the middle of the order, as Sean Buckley and Kyle Waldrop were both 3-for-5 with a homer and Robert Maddox had a solo shot as well. Buckley's the only 'Stang hitting over .300 right now. Ismael Guillon gave up 4 runs in 4 innings in his start, but impressively struck out 8. Up next: Kyle McMyne takes on GF at 9:05.
- The AZL Reds beat the AZL D-Backs 7-4. Justice French gave up 2 runs in 6 innings pitched in his start, and Gabriel Rosa (formerly of the stale list a few weeks ago) was 3-for-4 with 2 runs scored. Up next: Off day.
