Rays down on the farm June 19: Hudson Valley kicks off 2015

Like they do seemingly every season, the Renegades will play a series at Aberdeen, a team that broadcasts on MiLB.TV.

The player in that photo, by the way, is Brandon Lowe, one of the Rays' Day 2 draft picks.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (39-29)

Durham was crushed in a rain-shortened 7-1 loss to Columbus. Dylan Floro allowed a two-run home run in the first inning and then four two-out runs in the second and finished with six runs allowed on nine hits in five innings. Taylor Motter's third-inning double provided the Bulls' only run.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (34-32)

Montgomery pulled ahead late in an 11-5 win over Biloxi. The teams traded four-run first innings and each scored in the second, but while the Biscuits' pitching staff buckled down, the Shuckers' staff did not. Johnny Field's three-run home run in the fourth broke the tie, and Justin O'Conner and Hector Guevara homered in the seventh to add insurance. Starter Jared Mortensen allowed five runs in six innings, and Mark Sappington and Ryan Garton combined to finish the last three innings.

Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (44-23)

A pitchers' duel opened up late in Charlotte's 7-3 loss to Lakeland. German Marquez held the Flying Tigers scoreless for the first six innings, but he could not get through the seventh. He struck out the first two batters, but the next two reached to end his night. He was charged with two runs on five hits in 6 2/3 innings with eight strikeouts and no walks. After the Stone Crabs tied the game at three in the eighth, Kyle McKenzie allowed four runs in the ninth.

Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (37-30)

Brent Honeywell pitched a quality start, but he didn't get support in Bowling Green's 3-1 loss to Lansing. Nick Ciuffo's fourth-inning single tied the game at one, but Honeywell allowed a run in both the fifth and sixth innings. He finished with three runs allowed on eight hits and a walk in six innings with five strikeouts.
