Chris Newell can’t avoid Drillers’ loss

Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Three one-run losses and a blowout win for the Ontario Tower Buzzers—that’s how the day went in the Dodgers’ minor league system. Player of the day While the first-place Drillers might not have gotten the result they wanted in a loss against the Cardinals, it most certainly didn’t come due to a lack of trying from Chris Newell.

The right-fielder finished his game with three hits in four at-bats and stole two bases without getting caught once. Drillers are on 🔝 Newell singles to send De Paula and Nevin home! pic.

Triple-A Oklahoma City Despite tossing eight scoreless frames in between the second and ninth innings, the Comets couldn’t produce enough offensively to grab a win on the road.

Instead, they lost it 2-1 in walk-off fashion on an RBI single from Sterlin Thompson. The weird thing is that it wasn’t a particularly dominating day from the Isotopes on the strikeout side, with only five, but they managed to hold off the likes of James Tibbs III and Jack Suwinski hitless. Double-A Tulsa Different kind of game, same kind of result.
