The system had a busy night, going 3-and-4 in 7 games. Michael Wacha made a joke out of Round Rock batsmen. State College was swept in its double-header despite strong pitching that limited Mahoning Valley to 3 runs because they only mustered a total of 4 singles in two games. Johnson City lost in extra innings.
- Jamie Romak was 2-for-3 with a HR (20) and walk. With Brock Peterson promotion to St. Louis, Romak now leads the PCL in home runs.
- Greg Garcia was 2-for-3.
- Chad Huffman doubled.
- Kolten Wong singled.
- Michael Wacha was sharp after resting for fifteen days between starts, though he did face five batters in Triple-A's All-Star Game. In 6 innings, he used 87 pitches (57 strikes) to strike out 8 batters. Wacha only allowed 2 hits and the 1 run that scored against him was on a solo homer, but his 2-7 groundout-flyout ratio makes me wonder what the other balls in play looked like.
- Victor Marte had a scoreless outing, everyone! No, really!
- Keith Butler allowed a solo home run and struck out a batter in 2 innings.
- Springfield tallied 4 hits and 5 walks but couldn't push any runs across home plate.
- Mike O'Neill, Chris Swauger, and Colin Walsh all singled and walked.
- Cody Stanley singled while Jake Lemmerman and Ruben Gotay contributed walks.
- Jonathan Cornelius allowed 8 hits and 2 walks in 6.2 innings but limited Tulsa to 3 runs by keeping the ball on the floor with 11 groundouts against just 1 flyout.
- Jose Almarante struck out the only batter he retired, stranding 2 of 3 inherited runners in the process.
- Danny Miranda, appearing in just his second game for Springfield, struck out 3 in 2 innings.
- Alex Mejia was 1-for-4 with a double.
- Nick Longmire was 1-for-3 with a double.
- David Popkins and Starlin Rodriguez were both 2-for-4. It's worth noting that Starlin Rodriguez has remained in CF even after Colin Walsh was promoted to Springfield.
- Jesus Montero was 2-for-3.
- Hector Hernandez lasted 7 innings that included 2 runs on 8 hits, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts.
- Dean Kiekhefer struck out 1 in 2 innings that also included a hit.

- Charlie Tilson was 1-for-5 with a walk.
- Kyle Helisek allowed 4 runs (all unearned) in 2 innings on 3 hits, 5 walks, and 3 strikeouts.
- Joe Donofrio pitted 3 strikeouts against 1 walk in 3 innings but allowed 1 run on a solo homer.
- Samuel Tuivailala allowed 2 runs on 3 hits and 1 strikeout in his inning.
- Thomas Lee allowed 1 of 3 inherited runners to score but scattered 3 hits across 3 innings and struck out 2.
- Zach Russell allowed 1 hit and 1 walk but struck out 1 in his scoreless inning.
