Twins affiliates combined to match the run total of the big club.  Good pitching by Ryan Eades and Felix Jorge was wasted.  The Kernels took their first loss.

Rained out.

BILOXI 3, CHATTANOOGA 1 IN BILOXI

Garrett Cooper's two-run triple in the seventh snapped a 1-1 tie and carried Biloxi to victory, as the Lookouts concluded their season-opening five-game series with the Shuckers.  Ryan Eades pitched very well, giving up only one run on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  Daniel Palka led the offense with a 2-for-4 day.

BREVARD COUNTY 2, FORT MYERS 0 IN FORT MYERS

The Manatees scored single runs in the second and fourth.  The Miracle had eight hits, but all were singles.  The batters showed their big-league readiness by striking out ten times while drawing no walks.  Felix Jorge struck out seven in six innings, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk.  T. J. White and Alex Real each went 2-for-4.

KANE COUNTY 9, CEDAR RAPIDS 0 IN KANE COUNTY

The Kernels offense was shut down, as they managed only three singles and a walk.  Dereck Rodriguez pitched well for four innings but had trouble in the fifth and sixth, giving him a final line of six innings, five runs, eight hits and no walks (two hit batsmen, though), with six strikeouts.
