The Arizona White Sox made a debut and the all-star breaks are over for Birmingham, Winston-Salem and Kannapolis, meaning all six U.S. affiliates are in action tonight for the first time this season.
Knights 3, Toledo 2
Micah Johnson 1-4, SB #4
Carlos Sanchez 1-4, K
Marcus Semien 1-3
Josh Phegley 1-4, 2B
Matt Davidson 1-3, 2B, BB
Deunte Heath 6 IP, R, 3 K, BB, 5 H
Jacksonville 5, Barons 4
Jared Mitchell 2-4
Trayce Thompson 1-4, BB, K
Kevan Smith 2-4, 2B
Chris Beck 7 IP, 3 R, 7 K, 3 BB, 6 H
Dash 5, Salem 1
Tim Anderson 1-4, K
Jacob May 0-4, K
Courtney Hawkins 1-2, 3B, 2 BB
Jason Coats 2-4, 2 HR (12)
Keon Barnum 2-4, K
Terance Marin 7 IP, R, 10 K, 2 BB, 5 H
Marin just signed with the White Sox after being released earlier this year and whatever he was doing in independent ball must have worked because he set Dash career highs in innings and strikeouts. Marin was also with the Dash in 2013.
Intimidators 6, Charleston 1
Cleuluis Rondon 1-5, K
Trey Michalczewski 2-3, 2B, 2 BB, K
Jeremy Dowdy 2-4, 2B, BB, K
Carl Thomore 2-4, 2B, 2 K
James Dykstra 7 IP, R, 3 K, BB, 5 H
Voyagers 5, Missoula 3
Chevy Clarke 2-5, 2B, HR, 2 K
Toby Thomas 2-4, BB
Patrick Palmeiro 3-4, HR, K
Louie Lechich 2-4, K
Brandon Brennan 4 IP, 0 R, 1 K, 1 BB, 3 H
Brad Salgado 3 IP, 0 R, 7 K, 0 BB, 2 H
The pitching performances are most notable here. Brennan has been out for a year with Tommy John surgery. This was the first start back for the 2012 fourth round pick. Salgado, a 38th rounder in 2010 that signed out of high school, originally played as a shortstop before converting to the mound last summer.
Mariners 10, Arizona White Sox 8
Adam Engel 2-5, K
Jeffry Santos 1-3, 2 BB
Antonio Rodriguez 1-3, HR, K
Jose Barraza 1-2, HR, BB, K
Micker Adolfo 0-4, BB, 2 K
Eddy Alvarez 2-5, 2B
The 17-year-old Micker Adolfo may be the most anticipated debut on the Arizona roster, but Rodriguez signed for $400,000 in 2012 and had the better debut. As an outfielder with good speed and a strong arm, he has the ability to be a five-tool player.
