Rookie Drew Thorpe nabs another win after a dominant performance and a little help from the offense.

Catcher of the Future Edgar Quero’s incendiary June has earned him a promotion to Triple-A Charlotte at age 21.

A new era has dawned in Charlotte: Joining the bonafide future pieces Colson Montgomery and Bryan Ramos there now are Ky Bush, Brooks Baldwin and Edgar Quero. And, fresh off of their roles in the amazing, ninth-inning comeback win at Birmingham on Wednesday, both Baldwin and Quero homered in their first-ever Triple-A game tonight!

The jump to the majors directly from Double-A has hardly daunted Thorpe, either. Three of his four White Sox starts have been otherworldly, and if you throw his June 16 Arizona mauling in the garbage can, the rookie has thrown to a 1.59 ERA.

It was a 2-2 day on the farm, with the Barons and Cannon Ballers coming out victorious. The Cannon Ballers had a strong all-around performance from start to finish, while the Barons pulled off one of the more improbable comebacks we will see.

The Chicago White Sox broke the Cleveland Guardians’ six-game home winning streak with an 8-2 win on the back of Erick Fedde’s brilliant performance.

Ever since two of the four full-season affiliates clinched postseason appearances, it seems we’re back to routine and dismal efforts down on the farm. Tonight was no different, with one win among five games.

A hard-fought game lost on both a terrible throw AND a no-throw. Di Billick recaps, and also provides possible ways to break this curse of a season.
