Minor League Recaps 5/28

I am going to try a different format for this tonight. With some feedback, I think this will make these nightly recaps an easier read, and allow you to get through them much quicker. Durham Bulls vs. Rochester Red Wings (International League AAA) Result: Durham: 8 Rochester: 7     W: Jason Childers(5-1)  L: Phil Humber(1-2) S: [...]

Following a walk and two straight errors, Matthew Fields launched a grand slam in the first. However, Charlotte had their own share of defensive problems in the bottom half of the first. Javis Daiz led [...]

Mann flirts with perfection, Biscuits roll

In what was probably the best start of his career, Brandon Mann lowered his era to 3.93 on Wednesday night. Mann had one of those nights that pitchers dream about, not allowing a baserunner through his first 6 2/3 innings. When it was all said and done, Mann only gave up two hits. A 7th inning triple [...]

Moore lasted just three innings, giving [...]
