• Tuesday’s minor league scores: Triple-A Jacksonville won, 8-6; Double-A Pensacola lost, 3-2; High-A Beloit was postponed due to rain; Low-A Jupiter lost, 10-6. In Edward Cabrera’s first start with Jax this season, he had poor command, but his stuff was crisp enough to induce plenty of ground balls and soft contact (4.0, 2 H, 2 ER, 4 BB, 2 K). For the Hammerheads, Luis Palacios finally issued his first walk of 2022 and Kyler Castillo continued raking (3-for-3, 2 BB). Castillo would be leading Minor League Baseball in batting average and on-base percentage if he had enough playing time to qualify.
