Fresh off his rehab assignment, Tim Anderson returned to a full season affiliate in a big way while making his first AA appearance. Marcus Semien homered and Trey Michalczewski had his best game yet with Winston-Salem.
Knights 7, Norfolk 1
Marcus Semien blasted his 11th home run of the season and Jared Mitchell reached base three times (1-3, 2 BB). Bobby Doran gave up a run in six innings for the win.
Mississippi 3, Barons 2
Tim Anderson 3-3, 2B
Anderson not only returned from his rehab assignment in Arizona, but made his AA debut. It was a strong debut as well. Tony Bucciferro took the loss despite a quality start.
Carolina 8, Dash 7
Cleuluis Rondon 1-3, 2 BB, K
Trey Michalczewski 3-4, 2B, BB
J.B. Wendelken got rocked on the mound, but Michalczewski’s big day was a bright spot. The third baseman is hitting .250/.357/.306 in 10 games with the Dash since getting promoted from Kannapolis. The six walks are great, but what’s also encouraging is just eight strikeouts in 43 plate appearances so far.
West Virginia 10, Intimidators 5
Danny Hayes and Chevy Clarke had three hits each and Carl Thomore homered in the loss.
Voyagers 12, Helena 11
Mason Robbins 4-5, HR, BB
Zach Fisher 2-4, 2 HR, BB, 2 K
Huge games from Robbins and Fisher led the Voyagers’ to a win in this high-scoring game. Matt Ball gave up five earned runs in 3.2 innings to raise his ERA over 7.
D’Backs 3, Arizona White Sox 2 (10 innings)
Antonio Rodriguez and Cody Yount had two hits each and the Sox had just six in total. Lucas Shearrow gave up two runs in five innings.
