ByungHo Park may finally be getting it going.  Anthony McIver makes his first professional start.  The DSL Twins keep rolling.

ROCHESTER 4, BUFFALO 3 IN ROCHESTER

A single, two doubles, and another single produced three first-inning runs for the Red Wings.  Christian Lopes homered in the third to make it 3-1, but Matt Hague got an RBI single in the fourth to make it 4-1.  The Bisons got two in the sixth and had men on first and second with two out, but could not get the tying run across.  They did not get a hit after the sixth.

Aaron Slegers struck out six in five innings but gave up three runs on six hits and three walks.  Jake Reed made his AAA debut, striking out two in 1.1 scoreless innings.  Ryan Pressly struck out two in two shutout innings, keeping his ERA at zero with nine strikeouts in six innings.  ByungHo Park was 2-for-4 with two doubles.  He is 10-for-22 in his last six games.  Niko Goodrum was 2-for-4.  J. B. Shuck was 2-for-5.

CHATTANOOGA LOOKOUTS

No game scheduled.  The Southern League all-star game was rained out and apparently will not be played.

JUPITER 2, FORT MYERS 0 IN JUPITER

It was scoreless through six, but the Hammerheads got an RBI single by Kyle Barrett in the seventh and by Dustin Geiger in the eighth.  The Miracle did not get a hit until the fourth.  Their only threat was in the eighth, when they had men on second and third with one out and loaded the bases with two out.  A strikeout ended the inning.

Anthony McIver came out of the bullpen to make his first start of the season, and in fact the first start of his professional career.  He struck out four in 3.2 scoreless innings, giving up two hits and no walks.  His ERA is 2.27.  Tom Hackimer pitched 2.1 scoreless innings and has an ERA of 2.16.  Fort Myers had only five hits and no batter had more than one.

CEDAR RAPIDS KERNELS

In the Midwest League all-star game, the West defeated the East 5-2.  Jermaine Palacios started and was 1-for-2.  Lewin Diaz started and was 1-for-2 with a two-run homer.  Travis Blankenhorn started and was 0-for-2.  Mitchell Kranson played the entire game and was 1-for-4 with a double.  Sean Poppen pitched the second inning perfectly with one strikeout.  Clark Beeker pitched two-thirds of an inning, giving up no runs and one hit.

DSL TWINS 5, DSL ANGELS 4 AT TWINS

The Twins scored four in the first, getting a double, two singles, three walks, and an error.  Wander Valdez hit an RBI triple in the third inning to make it 5-0 and the Twins held on from there.  The Angels got two in the fourth, one in the fifth, and one in the seventh to cut the lead to 5-4.  They were not able to tie the score, however, as they did not get a hit after the fifth inning.

Andreu Marin struck out five in four innings but gave up two runs on three hits and three walks.  Yeremi Garcia pitched two shutout innings, keeping his ERA at zero through eight innings.  Valdez was 2-for-3 with a triple and a walk and is batting .333.  Ruben Santana was 1-for-4 with a walk and is batting .355.  Alberoni Nunez was 1-for-5 and is batting .308.  Estamy Urena was 0-for-5 and is batting .444.  Juan Martinez was 0-for-2 with a walk and is batting .357.
