Royals August 6th Minors Recap

Omaha was shut out by Salt Lake, 3-0 as they split the four-game series.

Everett Teaford carried a no-hitter into the sixth (though he walked two) before allowing a single with one out. Then things fell apart for Teaford, as he walked the next batter and then allowed back-to-back hits that drove in three runs. So he went from a no-hitter to losing in a very small amount of time.

Meanwhile, the Storm Chasers collected seven hits, two by Irving Falu. Chris Getz continued his rehab and went 1-for-4 in the leadoff spot.

All three of the Naturals runs came via solo homeruns, including Jorge Bonifacio‘s first Double-A homer (he went 2-for-4).

Leonel Santiago earned the complete game victory, throwing five shutout innings. He allowed just three hits and one walk.
