While the Milwaukee Brewers brutally destroyed the Phillies for the third time in four games, Zack Brown of Biloxi was equally as dominant.

Zack Brown nearly tossed a perfect game for the Shuckers and lost his no-hit bid with one out to go in the ninth. The DSL Brewers and Sky Sox also dominated their respective opponents. The Timber Rattlers got roughed up, the Mudcats offense sprung into action quicker than their previous two games, and the Helena Brewers dropped the opener in heart-breaking fashion. Here’s the roundup for the Milwaukee Brewers‘ farm system…

Rookie:

F DSL Brewers – 10, DSL Tigers1 – 2

  • The Brewers scored in every inning except the 7th in their rout of the Tigers1 squad.

June 16 Games: 

  • Rookie DSL Brewers (8-4) take on the DSL Cardinals Red.
  • Rookie Helena (0-1) give the ball to Justin Bullock for game two against Great Falls.
  • Class A Wisconsin (31-36) continues their series with Kane County.
  • Class A+ Carolina (32-35) play a doubleheader against Myrtle Beach.
  • Class AA Biloxi (40-28) send Kodi Medeiros (#18) to the mound against Mississippi.
  • Class AAA Colorado Springs (35-30) begin a series against Salt Lake.

What To Watch For:

  • Keep on eye on the lineup for the Biloxi Shuckers. After they clinched the first half division title, they don’t really need to play their “main guys”. Furthermore, Jake Gatewood got hit by a pitch during their clinching game, so expect him to most likely sit out. Still, it will be interesting if the Brewers front office want to keep their main guys going at that level and give them reps even though the next couple games mean nothing.
