Last night on the farm, the Barons lost both games of a doubleheader, even with Drew Thorpe pitching six shutout innings and Ky Bush striking out seven. In High-A Winston-Salem, DJ Gladney’s fourth home run of the season was the only bright spot, while Low-A Kannapolis got the win thanks to a two-run single from Arxy Hernandez in the eighth inning.
