Hey there folks, glad you could join me for another edition of the Minor League Ball Gameday.

RHP Phil Bickford mowed down 10 batters in just 4.2 innings of work, DH Tyler White was 3-4 with another homer, C Jorge Alfaro tallied four base knocks including a double, and SS Christian Arroyo had a four hit game as well.
