Minor Details: Games of August 6
Another big day for Reynaldo Rodriguez. Kennys Vargas may be getting back on track. Walkoff wins for the Miracle and the Kernels. The E-Twins win on their last at-bat. The GCL Twins hang on. A big inning does in the DSL Twins.
Minor Details: Games of August 5
One bad inning spoils Taylor Rogers' day. The Miracle loses it in the ninth. A rough day for Felix Jorge. A steal of home wins it for the GCL Twins. Walks and errors cost the DSL Twins.
Game 108 Recap: Blue Jays 9, Twins 3
Plouffe hit a home run! Hicks hit a home run! Boyer, Duensing, and May each pitched a scoreless inning! We're still at .500 through two-thirds of the season!
Mom always said, if you can't say anything nice, just don't say anything. We'll just have to settle for 108-54!
Happy Birthday–August 7

Minor Details: Games of August 4
A three-run homer beats the Red Wings. A big day for Kennys Vargas. A Miracle comeback falls short. Tanner English leads the Kernels to victory. A three-run homer also beats the E-Twins. Good starting pitching for the GCL Twins in a split. The DSL Twins lose late.
Minor Details: Games of August 3
The Red Wings waste good pitching from Jose Berrios. The Lookouts waste better pitching from D, J. Baxendale. An E-Twins rally falls short. Emmanuel Morel and Jadison Jimenez lead the DSL Twins to the organization's only win.
