It was a up and down night for the Milwaukee Brewers affiliates on Saturday, May 24th as they went 2-2 in four games played.
Triple-A
San Antonio Missions (28-20) vs. Round Rock Express (28-19)
The Milwaukee Brewers Triple-A affiliate dropped a close one Friday night against the Express, 4-3.
The offense all came from Troy Stokes Jr. as he drove in Tyler Saladino in the fourth inning, and then hit a two-run home run in the sixth. Stokes finished 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a run scored.
Rehabbing third baseman Travis Shaw went 0-for-4 with two strike outs today and isn’t hitting well in San Antonio. Shaw is 1-for-13, and hitting .077 with the Missions, but will continue to rehab and get better.
Zack Brown continue to look for his first win of the season as well. He went four innings, giving up three runs on four hits. Taylor Williams picked up the loss after giving up the go ahead run in the sixth.
Missions will travel to Memphis to start a series with the Redbirds on Saturday.

Biloxi Shuckers (26-22) vs. Mobile Bay Bears (19-28)
The Milwaukee Brewers Double-A affiliate continued to hit the face off the ball as they collected 12 hits in a 2-0 victory against the Bay Bears.
Although hitting was the story, Trey Supak led a fantastic pitching effort for Biloxi. He went 6 2/3 innings with just four hits and struck out six. Marcos Diplan, Luke Barker, and Nate Griep held Mobile hitless the rest of the way. Griep picked up his Southern League leading ninth save.
