An excellent game by David Hurlbut. The Miracle loses in the ninth. Nick Gordon continues to improve. Lewin Diaz and Luis Arraez carry the GCL Twins. A big comeback for the DSL Twins.

July 14, 2015: Dozier and Perkins
All I ask for is a save by Perkins and walk-off by Dozier, which is...somewhat unlikely given the AL's away status.

Players of the Week
Our weekly honors.
Minor Details: Games of July 12
Twins affiliates get swept. Three of the losses come in the last inning. Jorge Polanco's big day wasn't enough for the Red Wings. A bullpen meltdown costs the Lookouts. Nick Gordon seems to quietly be starting to figure things out. E-Twin errors waste a fine effort by Dereck Rodriguez.
Minor Details: Games of July 11
Most years, by this point in the summer, my life has slowed down significantly. That is showing no signs of happening this year. So, all I can tell you is that I'll do the best I can to keep these minor league reports current.
To the games: Oswaldo Arcia stays hot. The Lookouts bats stay cold. Kohl Stewart pitches very well. So does Randy Rosario. Cody Stashak finally gives up a run, but only one. Five pitchers combine on a shutout for the GCL Twins. A big inning sinks the DSL Twins.
July 13th, 2015: Billed in Error
I finally got in contact with someone at Enterprise in the UK. They said I was, in fact, billed by accident and they will not charge me for the damage to the rental car. So that's good.
