This weekend was a mixed bag down on the farm. The Birmingham Barons held down the fort, as they won both of their games behind strong pitching performances from Mason Adams and Ky Bush. They lost some firepower, however, as Bryan Ramos was pulled mid-game on Friday after receiving an MB promotion. Meanwhile, Colson Montgomery hit his 5th home run on the season, and second in his last four games.
