It was Jackie Robinson Day across the minor leagues, and Brad Keller was unable to deliver a win for the Knights, even with Danny Mendick and Oscar Colas each hitting one out. Birmingham got the win behind yet another strong start from Mason Adams, who continues to impress fans to begin this season. In Single-A, Kannapolis returned to .500 with a balanced display of power and consistent pitching, while High-A Winston-Salem blew a late lead to lose once again.
All that and more in today’s minor league recap!
