Minor League Player of the Day: Reds 2011 first round pick, Robert Stephenson, lowered his ERA to 2.97 with 7 shutout innings, allowing only 3 hits and striking out 8. In his last 6 starts, he’s thrown 38.2 innings, allowing only 4 earned runs on 19 hits and 5 walks, while striking out 51 and he’s only 20 years old. Might be time to think about getting him to Bakersfield soon.

Carlos Gonzalez threw an inning and 2/3, giving up a run, which got him both a blown save and then the win, though he only gave up 1 hit while striking out 2 (and didn’t give up any runs). Jamie Walczak picked up his 3rd save with 1.1 hitless innings, striking out 1.
Low A
Ft. Wayne 1 – Dayton 0 12 innings
Not much to talk about offensively for the Dragons, as no one collected more than one hit, as they only collected 8 hits (none for extra bases) in 12 innings.
