Low A  Augusta Greenjackets swarmed over the Greenville Drive 8-2:

Ty Ross(Catcher)- 2 for 5, HR(2).  BA= .236.
Ryan Jones(2B)- 2 for 3, 2B, BB.  BA= .235.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes topped the Eugene Emeralds 6-5:

Rookie AZL  Giants defeated the Mariners 8-4:

Kevin Rivera(2B)- 2 for 44, BB.  BA= .250.

Martin Agosta(RHP)- 3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 4 K's.  ERA= 3.60.

Rivera is hitting .306 over his last 10 games and I'm really liking the lines I'm seeing from this kid.  Cartegena is a 20 yo former international 6-figure bonus baby who did nothing in 3 DSL seasons.   Looks like a healthy rehab start for Agosta.

DSL  Rockies beat the Giants 4-1:

NTSH  Kelvin Beltre returned to the lineup and went 0 for 4.
