White Sox affiliates went 1-2 on the day, with Birmingham and both A-ball affiliates taking the day off. Charlotte’s dismal season continued, plenty of 2014 draft picks got their feet wet for the Voyagers and the DSL White Sox thumped the DSL Padres.

Star of the Day: Jordan Danks
On a day when his brother got a win for the parent club, the younger Danks was the lone bright spot for Charlotte by going 3-3 with a double. Danks is hitting .333/.359/.583 over his last 10 games with 12 hits against 9 strikeouts in 36 at-bats. Danks’ season averages at Charlotte still leave a lot to be desired at .237/.320/.468 but signs are pointing up.
