Zach Godley continues to impress with terrific outing after terrific outing, all the while toiling in one of the toughest leagues to pitch in, the California League. He threw 6 more strong innings with just one unearned run allowed. At this rate he's first in line for the next opening in the Mobile rotation.

AAA: Reno 3 @ Las Vegas 4. Vidal Nuno had a nice outing allowing 3 runs (1 earned) over 6 innings, but the offense couldn't even match that pace scoring 3 runs on 7 hits. Two of the runs came on a 9th inning pinch-hit, 2-run homer by Garrett Webber. But they couldn't get the tying run across. Danny Worth went 2 for 2 with a double.

He went 8.1 strong innings allowing 2 runs on 4 hits. The bullpen followed with 4.2 shutout innings they got them through the 13th and the win. RJ Hively got the win with 2 scoreless innings, and Seth Simmons pitched the 13th for his 1st save. Gerson Montilla provided the offensive heroics in the 13th with a 2-out, pinch-hit, 2-run double to give them the lead. Rudy Flores had three hits.

A: Kane County 8 Beloit 10. The Cougars lost a wild back-and-forth affair when Zac Curtis got tagged for 2 runs in the top of the 9th.
