The penultimate day of the Minor League regular season sees Mark Appel try to end on a strong note.


AAA Oklahoma City: Already Completed

AA Corpus Christ: Mark Appel vs. Matt Branham and the San Antonio Missions

Start Time: 6:05 CT


Mark Appel (1-2, 3.15 ERA in six games with Corpus) is coming off the best start of his professional career and will look to shut down the Padres' AA affiliate (and his critics) and end what has been a tumultuous first full season on a high note.


Hooks Lineup:


CF Delino DeShields


2B Tony Kemp


3B Colin Moran


1B Telvin Nash


LF Brandon Meredith


RF Leonardo Heras


DH Conrad Gregor

A+ Lancaster: Kent Emanuel vs. Trevor Foss and the Inland Empire 66ers

Start Time: 7:05 CT


Kent Emanuel (9-4, 4.24 ERA in 20 games with Lancaster) is also coming off a strong start; he threw seven shutout frames against these same Inland Empire 66ers (the Angels' A+ affiliate) one week ago today. He'll look to finish a solid first season with another good game against one of the California League's weaker offensive units.


Lancaster Lineup:


Coming Soon


A- Quad Cities RiverBandits: Already Completed

SS Tri-City ValleyCats: Underway vs. the Vermont Lake Monsters

Currently a 2-1 lead for Tri-City after six innings
