If you want to see how the rest of the Brewers minor league system did go to this post at Brew Crew Ball.
If you want to see last night in the Midwest League, here is the scoreboard. But, I do have to post a link to the story about the Simon Castro no-hitter.
Simon says no-no
Add one more miracle to a magical Fort Wayne baseball summer.
Simon Castro, the 6-foot-5 right hander from the Dominican Republic, threw the first no-hitter in the 17-year history of the TinCaps/Wizards when he blanked the Dayton Dragons 6-0 Tuesday night before 4,847 at a Parkview Field that keeps getting more magical as the season goes along.
...
“No one was saying anything, but in the sixth inning, I was like, ‘I’m throwing a no-hitter right now,’ ” Castro said.
And when he took the mound for the seventh, he had another conversation with himself.
“I was pretty nervous when I came out,” he said. “I said to myself, ‘OK, I’ve got to do something here. I got to go to work.’ ”
No. 2 Dayton batter Cody Puckett popped out to shortstop Drew Cumberland. then No. 3 hitter Byron Wiley struck out for his third time. And it was cleanup hitter Carlos Mendez who lofted a lazy, historic fly ball to Tekotte in shallow center.
“I was going to catch that one with two hands,” Tekotte said.
“Of course, I want to call my father and my mother,” Castro said. “They don’t have any idea yet.”
Simon Castro smiled and rubbed his head. “Wow,” he said. “Wow.”
