Minors MVP of the Day – Cory Thomas Vaughn. He is 7-8 with two walks in the series so far, and he hit a bomb to LF in the 6th.

Minors Cy of the Day – Thor is ready. There, now I've said it too. Top two starts I've seen from him in AAA were his last start and tonight. This is what you expect a starter with an upper-90's fastball and a 'hook from hell,' and he didn't even have to use his changeup tonight, as he threw only two.
