AAA  Sacramento River Cats outscored the Salt Lake City Bees 8-5:

Joey Rickard CF- 2 for 3, 2B, BB, SF.  BA= .400.
Mike Gerber RF- 1 for 5, HR(19).  BA= .315.
Francisco Pena C- 2 for 4, HR(8).  BA= .343.
Levi Michael SS- 1 for 3, HR(9), BB.  BA= .256.

Travis Bergen LHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K.  ERA= 6.75.
Sam Wolff RHP- 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K's, Save(1).  ERA= 0.00.

Maybe 4 runs in 6 IP should qualify as a QS in the PCL?  Sam Wolff suddenly shows up in AAA and throws 2 scoreless innings.

AA  Richmond Flying Squirrels corralled the Hartford Yard Goats 6-5:

Bryce Johnson CF- 3 for 5.  BA= .333.
Ryan Howard SS- 3 for 5.  BA= .186.

Melvin Adon RHP- 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, Save(13).  ERA= 2.72.

Bryce Johnson inexplicably continues play pepper with the field in AA.  Ryan Howard has had an extremely disappointing season.  Maybe this is the start of a 6 week hot streak to end the season?

The .300 BA line is starting to recede in Diego Rincones' rearview mirror.  Logan Webb checks off a level in his rehab from a PED suspension.

The boys at Fangraphs really love Marco Luciano.  Eric Longenhagen said in today's chat that Luciano has the talent to be a #1 overall prospect at some point.
