Double-A Tulsa

The Drillers got seven-inning complete-game shutouts from both Mickey Storey and Jeremy Kehrt on Tuesday to complete a doubleheader sweep, beating the Northwest Arkansas Naturals (Royals) 5-0 and 2-0. Storey struck out 10 in Game 1, and Kehrt struck out seven in Game 2.

Class-A Rancho Cucamonga

Brock Stewart struck out nine in five innings, and the Quakes got home runs from second baseman Brandon Trinkwon and designated hitter Tyler Ogle, but two runs in the ninth gave the Modesto Nuts (Rockies) a 5-4 walk-off win.
