Short Season  Tri-Cities Dust Devils topped the Salem-Keizer Volcanoes 6-5 in 11 innings:

Miguel Gomez(Catcher)- 3 for 6, HR(3).  BA= .348.

Rookie AZL  Angels downed the Giants 6-2:

Kelvin Beltre(SS)- 2 for 2, 2 SB(2).  BA= .500.
Jalen Miller(SS)- 1 for 2, SB(4).  BA= .378.
Jose Morel(RHP)- 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K's.  ERA= 0.96.

Houston, we have a problem!  Beltre and Miller are both very good and very young and both play SS.  Maybe that is a good problem to have, but the Giants need to get this sorted out because it will be no bueno for both if they are splitting the position within games.
