This is the time of year when the White Sox' strategy of confining all their minor-league teams in one region of the country pays off. With the string of promotions leaving Charlotte's cupboard dry, you'll see some strange names filling in the roster gaps as the teams play out the string.
- Norfolk 4, Charlotte 1 (13 innings)
- Carlos Torres pitched well: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, 1 HR
- Dayan Viciedo went 1-for-5.
- Garrett Johnson took the loss. You know it's silly season in Triple-A when they're trying to get three innings out of a guy like him.
- Birmingham 8, Carolina 0
- Josh Phegley hit his first Double-A homer, and also drew two walks in four trips to the plate.
