While the GCL Rays were suspended because of rain, Charlotte was postponed because of alligator.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (50-50)
Durham's bats forgot to resume the suspended game, resulting in a 2-0 loss to Norfolk. Robert Zarate had struck out five in four scoreless innings before the suspension, and the Bulls called on Jim Miller to resume the game. He proceeded to allow both Tides runs in his second inning of work.
Blake Snell's debut was okay despite Durham's 3-2 loss in game two. The Bulls limited him to just four innings, but he still managed to strike out six. He gave up just one run on five hits and a walk before Norfolk tacked on insurance against Durham's bullpen. J.P. Arencibia's double in the sixth scored both Bulls runs.
Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (16-11)
A three-run ninth gave Montgomery a 5-4 win over Jackson. Trailing 3-2, Hector Guevara singled home a pair to put the Biscuits in front, and Guevara scoring on Tommy Coyle's fielder's choice later in the inning proved to be crucial when Brad Schreiber allowed a solo home run to pull the Generals within one. Ryan Garton got the win with two scoreless innings of relief, and starter Austin Pruitt allowed two runs on eight hits in five innings.
Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (11-17)
Charlotte was postponed.
Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (15-14)
Riley Unroe's seventh-inning single lifted Bowling Green to a 3-2 win over Fort Wayne. Carter Burgess led off the inning with a double, and after a pair of outs, Unroe delivered a single to break the 2-2 deadlock. Thomas Milone scored the first run of the game on a Justin Williams double-play ball, and he also scored the second after the TinCaps took a 2-1 lead in the third. The win went to Jordan Harrison, but Henry Centeno was sharp, striking out 11, walking none and allowing two runs on six hits in six innings.
Short-Season Hudson Valley Renegades (18-15)
Hudson Valley fell behind 2-0 after half an inning, and State College's 2-0 lead would stand in the Renegades' loss to the Spikes. Both runs were unearned due to an error by Michael Russell, and both runs were charged to Angel Yepez, who allowed just five hits in six innings with three strikeouts and no walks.
Rookie Princeton Rays (18-11)
Princeton rallied late for a 6-4 win over Johnson City. Landon Cray and Jose Rojas homered early, but Princeton was down 3-2 after five. It tied the game on a wild pitch, but Rojas came through again with an RBI single to put Princeton ahead. An inning later, Kewby Meyer doubled in a pair to ensure Princeton held the lead. Starter Spencer Moran allowed two runs -- one earned -- on five hits and two walks in four innings, and the win eventually went to Noel Rodriguez, who finished the game with 2 2/3 scoreless innings.
Rookie Gulf Coast League Rays (6-20)
The GCL Rays were suspended.
