Pittsburgh Pirates prospect Evan Chambers passed away in his sleep this past weekend as noted in a statement by Pirates GM Neal Huntington. The Pirates signed Chambers after selecting him in the 3rd round of the 2009 June Amateur draft from Hillsborough Community College (Tampa, FL.). He played in 5 seasons within the Pirates farm system, but he missed most of 2013 with a broken foot. Chambers...
St. Lucie 6, Daytona 5 Aderlin Rodriguez drilled a two out, walk-off single to center to score T.J.

Rodriguez hit a solo home run in the fifth and finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs. Rivera had two hits and two runs scored while Dustin Lawley...
Noah Syndergaard accomplished two important things on Sunday. He picked up his first win of the season and he pitched seven innings for the first time in his professional career.

In the 5th the IronPigs got two men on, but both were with two outs and Owen easily got out of the Jam. All the damage on him came on two swings of the...
Buffalo Bisons 7 – Norfolk Tides 4 A mixed bag tonight for Chris Schwinden. In a common theme to his starts lately, he began the game off pitching very poorly. He gave up a run on four hits and two walks over the first two innings and threw a lot of pitches. A Michael Fisher dropped foul ball to begin the 3rd inning enabled two runs to score on a two-out double. Schwinden finished strong...
