            Check out yesterday’s results here.

            Astromets Mind previewed the Savannah and Binghamton weekend series that are both scheduled to be on MiLB.tv this weekend.

            Dilson Herrera made the BA prospect hot sheet at #9, as he was 15 for his last 34 at the time of posting.

            Rising Apple blog says it’s time for Michael Conforto to head to AA, which sounds good to me!

            While the new stadium is being built up in Columbia, SC, the Sand Gnats haven’t officially been named the franchise moving there yet

Minors MVP of the Day – Jared King had a big night for Bingo in the losing effort, picking up his 1st AA homerun and 4th double of the year. His slash line doesn't stand out, but he's picked up a hit in most games this year.

Minors Cy of the Day – Matz held Reno hitless for the first 6.2 IP before Nick Evans pulled a single into LF. He was at his best Friday night, so check back for highlights you won't get anywhere else later.
