115

Games were razor-close on the farm Thursday. Five of the six affiliates played in one-run contests, with the Dash and ACL Sox emerging victorious. The DSL Sox were the outlier, winning by three.

Across the tight games, Braden Montgomery slugged a walk-off homer in Winston-Salem, Eduardo Herrera went 4-for-4 with a pair of longballs in the DSL, and Noah Schultz struck out seven for the Barons.

All this and more in today’s minor league recap!

Triple-A Charlotte Knights (32-34)

For the second straight night, the Knights were held to just a single run. Unlike last night, that single run was almost enough tonight. Charlotte entered the bottom of the ninth clinging to a 1-0 lead before losing via a walk-off double.

The Knights’ run came courtesy of a Brooks Baldwin homer — his seventh in 19 AAA games this season. Mike Clevinger kept the Durham Bulls at bay with six shutout innings. Clevinger has now spun 14 innings since allowing his last earned run.
