Louisville reached base 6 more times than Columbus, but still lost 7-4. Daniel Corcino's second relief outing was not like the first, as he failed to record an out, and gave up 2 hits, 2 walks, and 2 wangers to take the loss. Two hits apiece for Billy Hamilton, Neftali Soto, Derrick Robinson, and Henry Rodriguez, the latter two of whom also drew walks. Up next: Chad Rogers (4-5, 4.55) takes on Columbus at 7:05.

Pensacola had the day off. Carlos Contreras (3-2, 2.92) will face Mobile at 8:05.

Bakersfield saw their rally fall short, losing to Stockton 4-3. Solo butterbeers from Danny "Sid" Vicioso and Juan Perez cut the Ports' 4-run lead in half, and the Blaze pushed one more run across before the rally slid to a halt. Fabian Williamson was hittable, and that seemed to doom the Blaze from the get-go, unfortunately. Up next: James "Get a Last Name, Moran" Allen (8-11, 5.01) will oppose the Ports at 10:15.

Dayton's playoff chances were dealt a major blow with a 4-1 loss to the team they're chasing, Great Lakes. The Dragons managed just one extra-base hit all night–a double from Joe "Hawk" Hudson–and Beau "I Wanna F*** You Like an" Amaral was the only player to reach more than once. Jackson "Get a First Name, Moran" Stephens gave up all 4 runs before the fifth inning was over, digging the Dragons in a hole they couldn't escape. They now have to win their last 5 games, and hope the Loons don't win more than 1. It's possible, but not a good start. Up next: Must-win against the Loons, and Sal Romano (7-10, 4.84) better be firing on all cylinders, kicking it into overdrive, putting the pedal to the metal, and other figurative automobile idioms.

Billings was also off. They'll face Great Falls at 9, with Junior "Bartolomé Esteban" Morillo (2-1, 3.52) taking the hill.
- The AZL Reds, yet again, were barely outgunned, falling to the lil Dodgers 10-9. It's getting kind of weird, and at some point you have to wonder if their luck will turn. Kevin Franklin had another monster game, going 3-4 with a double, a walk, and 2 RBI. Big ol' Logan Uxa knocked in 3 with a double and a triple in 4 times up, and Cory Thompson reached base 3 times and added a steal. Unfortunately, very obviously, the pitching and, to a lesser extent, the defense (3 errors). Up next: Off day.
