Bryce Windham’s got 4 Ks in 52 PAs for Iowa, 2/4 

Duane Underwood, a former Top Prospect in the org, just got a couple outs against Iowa but not without giving up the lead 

DUJ also walked the bases loaded in the next inning before the next reliever gave up a walk-off sac fly to Yonathan Perlaza.

DJ Herz: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 5 K

Control has really improved the last few start. He had 2 balks which seems impossible for a lefty.

Brody is 23. I think he’s ready for high-A.

Good showing by the Latin American teenagers for MB: Ballesteros 1/2 with 2 BB. Hernández 2/3 with a walk. Ramírez 2/4 with a double and a K.

Ballesteros really is a tank, isn't he
