RC Organizational Report: June 5

Only the Wichita Wranglers managed a win on Tuesday, as all the other affiliates lost their games. For the second straight day, a Royals farm club was swept in a doubleheader, with Wilmington taking the honors on Tuesday. However, several players had notable performances, and RC recaps all the day's action inside in today's minor league report.

AAA: Portland 5, Omaha 4 (10 innings)

The O-Royals dropped their second straight game in the bottom of the ninth, as Ken Ray allowed a run to give Portland the win. Both Justin Huber and Craig Brazell went deep for Omaha. John Bale really could not have pitched much better than he did. In two innings, Bale threw 19 pitches, 16 of them for strikes, while striking out three batters. Omaha will take Wednesday off before coming home on Thursday to play Nashville and face Brewers top prospect Yovani Gallardo (8-1, 2.14).

The Blue Rocks were downed in game one, as Jason Godin got hammered again in his second start for Wilmington. Like last time, Godin allowed six runs and didn't make it past the fifth inning. It was a good day, however, for centerfielder Jose Duarte, as the Dominican product went 4-for-4 at the plate, with two runs scored and a double. Mario Lisson stayed hot, going 2-for-4 with an RBI, and Kila Kaaihue went deep for the ninth time this season.

With the 5-for-6 performance on the day, Duarte's batting average rose to .299 on the season. Brett Bigler, who has been very streaky so far this season, went 2-for-3 in game two.
