- Class AAA Colorado Springs (24-13) give the ball to Aaron Brooks as they go for the four-game sweep against the Dodgers.
What To Watch For:
- After hitting his first home run of the season last night, keep an eye out for Nate Orf. The second baseman is slashing .362/.433/.492 in 35 games so far for the Sky Sox. If he continues to rack up hits at this pace, he will find his way to Milwaukee before the end of the season.
