Before I get to the scores, let me congratulate Emeralds outfielder Nelson Velazquez and Pelicans right-hander Cory Abbott who were your choices for the Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month for August!
You still have time to vote for the Minor League Player of the Year Award. You’ll get a chance to vote for the Minor League Pitcher of the Year later today.
