Dustin May did not have the kind of start that Chaim Bloom would likely have wanted him to have as the St. Louis Cardinals approach the upcoming trade deadline, however he kept the team in the game despite walks and a costly wild pitch.

(54-38) Memphis Redbirds 2, (45-45) Gwinnett Stripers 9 The Stripers clawed their way back to .500 with a dominant win over the Redbirds thanks to a strong pitching effort by the Gwinnett staff, and some explosive hitting.

The Braves once again made Matthew Liberatore look like Cy Young reincarnated for the second time in the span of two weeks.

If a loss happens on Apple TV (and after midnight), did it really ever happen? The bullpen choices of Walt Weiss are unknowable, but the lineup is largely predictable.
