On a night old friend Jharel Cotton started in the majors for Oakland, the Dodgers faced the other two thirds of the cost of the Rich Hill / Josh Reddick trade on Monday. But a 27-year-old stole the show in Midland.
Tim Shibuya came within one strike of a no-hitter on Monday for Double-A Tulsa, settling for a one-hit shutout of Midland on the road.
Midland center fielder hit a dribbler up the middle off Shibuya’s glove with two outs in the ninth inning, easily reaching for a single to break up history.
