Limited schedule with three of the four full-season affiliates off on Tuesday plus a rainout in the Dominican Summer League. But the three teams that did play, Rancho Cucamonga, Ogden and AZL Dodgers all won. Rancho Cucamonga has now won 15 straight games and the AZL Dodgers have an eight-game winning streak.
Player of the day
Over the last two weeks, it has been difficult not to pick a different Quake as the player of the day because the team has been playing so well. And that did not change on Tuesday night, with several good performances, it was hard to pick one but for this entry, it will be outfielder Logan Landon.
The 25-year old outfielder was a triple short of a cycle on Tuesday night, going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer. So far in July, Landon has hit .394./487/.727 in 38 plate appearances.
