Player Of The Day

Gage Green had the first perfect day of his professional career as he was 4-for-4 with a walk at the dish with couple of doubles. The 22-year-old, drafted as a catcher this year in the 35th round, has actually spent most of his professional career as an outfielder.

Triple-A Oklahoma City

Oklahoma City scored two runs in the top of the 10th to defeat New Orleans (Marlins) 6-4. A couple of guys on the 40 man chopping block, Ronald Torreyes and Andy Wilkins, both singled in a run in the final frame to solidify the win. For Wilkins it was his third RBI in a game that didn't have much offense. Darnell Sweeney's double was the only extra base hit for OKC.

On the mound Brandon Beachy produced a quality start as he allowed four hits and three runs over six frames. He did walk four, however, and also gave up a homer. Grant Dayton allowed the tying run in the bottom of the eighth, but it was Ramon Troncoso who was charged with the blown save (although he did pick up the win). Adam Libertore recorded his third save with a scoreless 10th.

Double-A Tulsa

The Drillers defeated the RockHounds (A's) 2-1 on Friday in a game that lasted just six innings due to rain. Ross Stripling picked up the complete game victory after allowing just one run, striking out seven along the way while walking none.

Lars Anderson and Nate Samson both doubled and drove in a run to lead the offense in a game that only saw five hits for Tulsa.

Willie Calhoun went 3 for 5 with a double and two runs scored, while Nick Sell's two-run homer in the second is what opened the scoring.

Starter Luis De Paula allowed four hits and four walks in this game, but managed to limit the damaged to just two runs. James Campbell gave up just one unearned run over his three innings of work, then J.D. Underwood picked up the save with a scoreless ninth.

Rookie - Pioneer League

The Raptors nearly blew this game as the allowed four runs in the ninth, but managed to hang on for a 7-5 victory.

Going back to the start of the game, starter Kevin Brown gave up one run over three frames, while relievers Rob McDonnell and Misja Harcksen combined for four shutout frames.

At the dish, player of the game Green was a perfect 4-for-4 to lead the offense. Jordan Tarsovich connected on a three-run homer, while Jake Henson also went deep and scored a pair of runs. Alex Santana was 2-for-4 with a triple and a RBI.
