The minor league slate was anything but lacking in action on Monday. Three of the upper level affiliates picked up wins, and three of the five affiliates won games in the later innings. Also, spoiler alert, Nolan Gorman has power.
Chris Ellis (SP): 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 4 K’s
Max Schrock (2B): 2-3, 2 2B, R
The Redbirds started hot in the top of the first. Max Schrock led off with a double and was moved to third by a Luke Voit single two batters later. Patrick Wisdom capitalized with runners on with a line drive double to center.
