American Association Insider: July 6, 2025

A full slate of games to wrap up the Holiday weekend.

Kansas City 6 Lincoln 3

Julian Garcia threw seven innings of one run ball, striking out five to pick up his fifth win of the season. Ross Adolph drove in a run in the fourth inning to make it a 3-0 game. Robbie Glendinning followed with a two run single as the Monarchs pulled away. Spencer Henson homered for the Saltdogs.  

Fargo-Moorhead 2 Winnipeg 1

Dillon Thomas drove in the winning run to lead off the bottom of the 11th to give the RedHawks the series win. Mitch Lambson went 10 innings to pick up a no decision for the Goldeyes throwing only 89 pitches. 

Cleburne 8 Lake Country 2

The Railroaders scored five runs in the second inning to take a 6-0 lead and cruised to victory. Andres Sosa homered as part of a three hit, 2 RBI day.

Kane County 3 Chicago 0

The Cougars only had three hits for the day but took advantage of them to win the third game of their wraparound series with the Dogs. Marcus Chiu hit his fifth home run of the week, a solo shot. With the 2 and a half hour rain delay, it became a bullpen day for the Cougars as four relievers allowed only four Dogs hits in the win.

Gary SouthShore 5 Sioux City 4 (10 innings)

The Explorers led 4-0 at one time but the RailCats plugged away tying the game in the eighth and eventually winning the game with a run in the 10th. Cody Reed got instant redemption from his blown save on Saturday, closing the door in the bottom of the 10th. Jairus Richards had four hits for the RailCats.

Milwaukee 6 Sioux Falls 0

And in the game I was at today, Chase Gearing came off the Injured list and only allowed a bunt single in six innings of work to earn the win. Milwaukee got home runs from Glenn Santiago, Erik Ostberg and Chase Estep, Esteps home run was part of a three hit game.


 

Sorry for the brief summary, I had a three and a half hour drive home Sunday night with Monday morning work starting in 8.5 hours.

 We've got through May, cruised through June and are now into July, so of course that means All Star Game picks. The American Association version of the Mid Summer Classic will be in Fargo two weeks from Monday. A skills competition (haven't seen one of those in a long time) and the Home Run Derby will be on Monday July 21, with the All Star Game on Tuesday night. Players stats were as of July 4th. Click here for your All Star Game Tickets West Division Catcher: Juan Fernandez, Fargo-Moorhead. Fernandez after an injury plagued 2024, has stayed healthy and has been a mainstay of the RedHawks lineup thus far in 2025. Fernandez has 23 RBI and is batting .313 First Base: Matthew Warkentin, Winnipeg. Warkentin has come on strong in the last few weeks to become part of the conversation. I could see the votes putting Josh Rehwaldt at first base but he has been in the outfield more times than not lately. Warkentin going into Friday has nine home runs and 32 runs batted in with a .292 a...

 Seven games on tap for a Sunday afternoon in the American Association. If you weren't at a ballpark, I hope you all enjoyed your Sunday, whatever you did.  Milwaukee 12 Kane County 3 The Milkmen building on the momentum of last night's walk off win defeated the Cougars at Franklin Field. The Milkmen put this one away with a five run third inning, highlighted by a three run home run by Scott Ota. It was a part of a three RBI day for Ota.
