We'll get caught up as soon as we can, but it may take a few days.
Pat Dean's fine pitching goes for naught. The Lookouts hang on. Miracle bats and Mat Batts lead to an easy win. Cedar Rapids gets only a Kernel of offense. Andro Cutura's fine pitching also goes for naught. A seven-run inning carries the GCL Twins. Two four-run innings carry the DSL Twins.
Two homers and Tyler Duffey were all the Red Wings needed. Max Kepler was back, but no one else showed up on offense as the Lookouts were the shutouts. A three-run homer sinks the Miracle. A Kernels comeback falls short. The E-Twins waste good pitching from Miles Nordgren. A strong finish for the DSL Twins.
The Lookouts have one handed to them. The Miracle wastes fine pitching by Chih-Wei Hu. Rafael P. Valera leads the Kernels to victory. LaMonte Wade stays hot in an E-Twins win. The DSL Twins get one hit in a seven-run tenth that propels them to victory.
Most minor leagues took yesterday off due to the major league all-star game. The GCL Twins dominate in a victory. The DSL Twins lose in the ninth inning.
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.
Our weekly honors.
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.
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.
The Red Wings split a doubleheader for the only Twins win. The Twins got shutout in three of the games, with the Miracle wasting a fine performance by Mat Batts. Oswaldo Arcia hit another home run. And we're caught up!
We get closer to being caught up. Oswaldo Arcia homers again. Kennys Vargas hits his first minor league homer of the season. Ryan Eades pitches a fine game. Edgar Corcino stays hot. So do LaMonte Wade and Jermaine Palacios. And Gorge Munoz.
