• Salt Lake: Another unspectacular game for the Bees as they were shutout on three singles. Don’t expect Kevin Jepsen back in the Angels’ bullpen anytime soon. Jepsen had another poor relief appearance as he allowed two runs on three hits to take the loss. Jepsen has a 6.23 ERA thus far in AAA.
• Arkansas: Wait, we have some Mike Trout news!!! The Travelers actually got a game in. Trout (.313) who came into the contest in an 0 for 8 slump whacked three hits, scored twice, while stealing his fourth base on the night. Trout then went on to club three more hits in an early game on Wednesday, though he took a page off the Angels’ baserunning and was picked off 2nd base and caught stealing in the same contest. (More on Wednesday game tomorrow, including a Garret Richards update.) Robert Fish (1.86) in Tuesday’s contest pitched an inning and 2/3 of scoreless relief, fanning four.
• Inland Empire: The star from the 66’ers Jean Segura went 1 for 5, but Rian Kiniry was the talk of the game as he singled, tripled and homered helping the 66ers to an 11-2 victory. Haerther, Bass and Phillips each had two hits a piece and the Japanese catcher Ikko Sumi and infielder Steve Irvine each drove in three runs a piece. The starting pitcher Ariel Pena allowed one run in six innings, striking out six, though he did walk four batters.
• Cedar Rapids: Travis Witherspoon had two knocks and stole his 14th base out of 16 attempts. The Angels’ 2010 fourth-round pick Max Russell (3.48) hurled seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits, a walk, while striking out five batters.
