• Salt Lake: Tyson Auer (.286) was the man on Tuesday night as he went 3 for 3, with two walks, scored twice and swiped three bases (11) from the leadoff spot. Batting second was shortstop Andrew Romine (.263) and he too whacked three hits, but drove in two. Jeremy Berg (4.19) got one out to preserve a 5-4 victory, earning his third save on the season.
• Arkansas: Mike Trout (.327) went clubbed three hits, two of them doubles.

Trevor Reckling (3.63) moved to 0-5 but had a quality start, giving up three earned runs in seven innings, fanning eight batters along the way.
• Inland Empire: Th 66'ers faced one of the Dodgers top pitching prospects in Allen Webster and couldn't produce a extra base hit as they were beaten by the Quakes 3-1. Segura (.295) did manage to get a single in four trips to the plate. Manuel Flores (3.86) pitched 6 2/3 innings and allowed three runs while striking out three.
• Cedar Rapids: The Kernels lost 4-1 so the highlights are few. AJ Schugel (3.32, 19 IP, 19 K) pitched five solid innings, giving up just two hits, no walks and no earned runs while striking out five batters. Brandon Decker (.237) doubled and walked and Ricky Alvarez (.306) clubbed a homer, his second on the season.
