Twins affiliates get swept.  Poor starting pitching throughout.  Daniel Palka stayed hot, at least.

ROCHESTER AT PAWTUCKET

Rained out.

MOBILE 6, CHATTANOOGA 5 IN MOBILE

The Lookouts came back from a 5-1 deficit only to see Ronnie Freeman hit a walkoff homer leading off the ninth.  Daniel Palka had hit a two-run homer in the sixth to bring Chattanooga back to 5-4.  David Hurlbut pitched five innings, allowing five runs on nine hits and no walks with three strikeouts.  The home run was Palka's fourth and he went 2-for-4, raising his average to .319.  Travis Harrison and Joe Maloney also went 2-for-4.

ST. LUCIE 8, FORT MYERS 3 IN ST. LUCIE

A three-run fourth put the Mets up 5-1 and left them in control of the game.  Keaton Steele lasted only four-plus innings, giving up seven runs (six earned) on seven hits and four walks with three strikeouts.  Logan Wade was 3-for-4 with a double.  Nick Gordon again did not play.  He was injured Tuesday in a collision with outfielder Chad Christensen on a pop fly.  He has not been placed on the disabled list.

GREAT LAKES 3, CEDAR RAPIDS 0 IN GREAT LAKES

Each team had only three hits, but Kernels starter Sam Gibbons walked five and hit one and that made the difference.  A leadoff walk in the third came around to score and the Loons scored two in the fifth without a hit, on three walks, a hit batsman, and a wild pitch.  Gibbons did strike out eight in 4.1 innings.  Luis Arraez was 0-for-4, dropping his average to .302.  LaMonte Wade did not play.
