Salt Lake Bees
Box Score

The Bees pitching staff on Monday made up of  Fernando Rodriguez, Bobby Cassevah, Rafael Rodriguez and Michael Kohn shutout the Fresno Grizzlies for 12 innings. Kohn (1.75 ERA) earned the win with a scoreless inning and a third after Mark Trumbo launched his 21st home run of the season to give the Bees the 1-0 victory. Hank Conger singled in his only at bat, threw out a runner in the second inning and then was removed from the game due to an arm injury.

Arkansas Travelers
Box Score

Jeremy Moore was the star of the game with his walk-off two RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. Moore went 1-5 and is hitting .292 on the season. Tyson Auer went 1-3 with an RBI and a couple walks, stealing three bases on the night. Auer now leads Trout for most stolen bases in the organization with 48. Carlos Colmenares had three hits for the second straight game. Robert Fish who has struggled in the last month had his second blown save while with the Travs. Fish's ERA for the month of June was 6.39 and for July is at 19.06 after posting a sparkling 2.45 ERA in the month of May after his promotion to Double-A and a solid first month of the season with the Quakes (1.13) in High-A ball.

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
Box Score

Trout went 3 for 5 with two doubles, a triple, two runs, an RBI, and now he’s hitting .304/.407/.609 for the Quakes after a slow start. Pat Corbin (3.81 ERA) was touched up for the first time with the Quakes, giving up eight runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings of work. Gabe Jacobo (12) and Eric Oliver (4) each hit a home run in the game. Jeremy Berg pitched two and 1/3 innings of scoreless relief work, lowering his ERA to 1.45. Berg has a sick 27 to 2 strikeout to walk ratio over 18 innings of relief.

Cedar Rapids Kernels

Fabio Martinez Mesa (3.73 ERA) threw seven shutout innings, striking out nine and walking three. Martinez-Mesa has fanned 130 in 94 innings this year. With that said, his control is still a concern as he's walked 65 batters in 94 innings at low-A.  Jean Segura (.298) was the DH and went 2-4, stealing his 33rd base on the season. Justin Bass, Michael Wing and Carlos Ramirez homered for the Kernels. Ramirez  (.218) is hitting .313/.421/.406 in his past 10 games after a terrible first half of the season which saw him under the Mendoza line until July where he seemingly turned it around offensively.

Orem Owlz
Box Score

The Angels 8th round selection in the 2010 amateur draft Kole Calhoun (.286) went 2 for 3 with a double and two walks. Josh Blanco pitched five innings, giving up just one run on three hits, while striking out four.

AZL Angels
Box Score

The Angels 1st round pick (30th overall) Chevez Clarke (.238) went 2-4 and 34th rounder 1B Jerod Yakubik went 3-4, raising his average to .329.
