Top Arizona Diamondbacks prospect and Broken Arrow graduate Archie Bradley's seven-game winning streak was snapped on Wednesday night in the Southern League finals opener.
Bradley allowed seven hits and six runs in five-plus innings as Birmingham defeated Mobile 8-3.
Bradley will finish a combined 15-6 this season for Double-A Mobile and Single-A Visalia.
Former Oral Roberts infielder Tyler Saladino, who has had a disappointing season, went 2-for-5 with two RBIs for Birmingham (White Sox). He had a RBI triple off Bradley in the sixth inning. Saladino, batting .348 in the playoffs, finished the regular season at .229 with five homers and 55 RBIs.
For Mobile, former ORU pitcher Mark Serrano tossed two shutout innings. During the regular season, he was a combined 6-2 with a 3.02 ERA for Mobile and Triple-A Reno. Henryetta graduate Sawyer Carroll, who batted .280 with 10 RBIs in 22 games for Mobile, went 0-for-3 andf is 2-for-9 in the playoffs...
Arkansas tied the Texas League finals at 1-1 with a 1-0 victory at San Antonio on Wednesday night after San Antonio had won the opener 1-0. Michael Roth pitched seven innings to combine with two relievers on a four-hit shutout Wednesday.
Tulsa Drillers nemesis Randal Grichuk's second-inning RBI single drove in the only run.
In a move of strange timing, San Diego called up San Antonio first baseman Tommy Medica on Tuesday, just before the TL finals started. It wouldn't have been strange if San Diego was in a pennant race, but the Padres are out of contention. Medica homered on Wednesday against Philadelphia's Cliff Lee. San Antonio could have used Medica's homer on Wednesday.
