Full recap

Minors MVP of the Day – Two players had a double and a bomb yesterday, but Jeff McNeil had one more hit than Gavin Cecchini. McNeil deserves a little more attention than he's received so far.

Minors Cy of the Day – There were some strong performances out of the pen, but Kevin McGowan had a nice start for St. Lucie, which was a nice way to follow his best FSL start to date.
