Minor matters

The Reds' team continue to play well, particularly on the A level. From Jamie Ramsey: Of the 120 teams currently playing minor league baseball, only 11 have won 20 or more games. Two of those teams are in the Reds’ organization (Sarasota 20-10 & Dayton 22-4).

--Louisville beats Indianapolis: Tom Shearn shuts down the International League’s best hitting club. Jeff Keppinger with 3 hits and a 10-game hitting strea, Jeff Bannon also with 3 hits. Homer Bailey pitches tonight for the Bats. Chattanooga loses to Huntsville: Jared Burton allows a couple of runs in relief. Sarasota wins: Eric Eymann comes off the bench to hit a 2-run, game-winning single in the top of the 11th. Craig Tatum with 3 hits. Carlos Fisher with a another quality start…Sarasota’s bullpen with 5 scoreless innings. Josh Roenicke leading the minor leagues with 11 saves. Dayton wins its 9th straight game: Sean Watson with an outstanding effort. Drew Stubbs with a dramatic walkoff homer. Juan Francisco leaves the game after being hit in the hand.
