Vera hits his pitch count with 2 outs in the third. He looked pretty confident, seemed like he tried to plead his case to finish the inning.

2.2IP, 0ER, 1H, 2K, 2BB. One walk was a pretty uncompetitive 4 pitches, the other was a good sequence where he just missed with a borderline pitch and didn't get the call.

Nice. Velo?

Barons defense bails Thompson out of a bases loaded, no outs situation in the first. Ramos and Quero team up for a force at home on a grounder, then a 5-4-3 to end it.

A run had already scored in the inning unfortunately, but a perfect 6 pitch second should help keep Thomspon in the game when it looked like it might get out of hand early.

Thompson hasn't allowed a baserunner since he labored through the first, really impressive recovery by him. 

He finally gave up another hit in the 6th after 4 perfect innings, but left him stranded. Went from 28 pitches in the first with bases loaded to finishing 6IP on 84 pitches. 1ER, 2H, 3BB (all in the first), 2K.

Barons up 7-1.

Is it still an org sweep if only 3/5 games are played? ?

Barons won 7-1. Other than Thompson's shaky command in the first, one of the most well rounded games they've played all season.

Thompson was backed up by scoreless work out of the pen from LHPs Haylen Green and Fraser Ellard and an offense led by Popeye (2-4, HR, 4RBI), Ramos (3-4, 2B), and Veras (2-4, HR, 3RBI). Curt Bloom mentioned on the broadcast that undisclosed Rays org personnel had nice things to say about Colson. Their top prospect Junior Caminero had a rough multi-error night at the hot corner.

Meanwhile...Neither team could get much going offensively in the WS game, which stayed scoreless until late. WS put up two in the 7th with the help of shoddy opposing defense (SS sailed one into the dugout). They gave one back the next inning throwing the ball away trying to cut down a runner at home. Things got a little chippy in a tight game with a lot of close calls, the Braves manager and someone else from their dugout got the boot at some point.

RHP Johnny Ray loaded the bases (single, walk, HBP) with no outs trying to protect the one run lead in the 9th, but got out of it with 2Ks and a pop to short for the 2-1 win. Local product Brooks Gosswein chipped in his best work in a while, with 3.1IP scoreless behind Vera.

Nastrini makes his Charlotte debut tomorrow, and Bush will be going for Bham. Kanny plays two.
