For a more in depth review of yesterday’s games please check out our minor league wrap-up which can be found here. We had two rainouts yesterday include the DSL team for the third day in a row. Plus Indianapolis will finish last night’s game before they play today’s thanks to rain. Both of the foreign league teams have off today. Rudy Owens is looking to rebound from his poor start on Tuesday when he gave up 7 runs in 5 IP. Prior to that he had made four straight quality starts. Lineups for today’s games will be posted as soon as they are made available.
