Jason Young, Winnipeg Goldeyes

The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Sunday the acquisition on loan of left-handed starting pitcher Mitchell Lambson from the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican Baseball League.
 
Lambson won an American Association championship with the Goldeyes in 2017 and was named the league’s Pitcher of the Year following the 2019 season, during which he went 13-4 with a 3.11 earned run average.

Ray Zuberer III’s sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning gave the Lake Country DockHounds (38-41) a 7-6 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes at Wisconsin Brewing Company Park Saturday evening.

The loss not only spoiled a late four-run comeback for the Goldeyes (45-35), it also snapped their five-game winning streak.
 

Zac Reininger pitched a shutout as the Winnipeg Goldeyes (43-34) defeated the Lincoln Saltdogs 1-0 at Haymarket Park Wednesday evening. Combined with Sioux Falls’ loss to Lake Country, the win pulled the Goldeyes to within a half-game of the West Division lead.

A middle-inning onslaught carried the Goldeyes to victory, scoring nine unanswered after the Canaries (43-31) had opened the scoring early.

For the second time in as many games, the Sioux Falls Canaries (43-30) took advantage of a five-run inning to defeat the Winnipeg Goldeyes 6-5 at Blue Cross Park Sunday afternoon.

Sioux Falls trailed 4-1 in the top of the fourth inning when third baseman Ernny Ordoñez came in on left fielder Liam Spence’s sacrifice fly to left field. Then, with two-out, right fielder Wyatt Ulrich sprinted home on a wild pitch to pull the Canaries within one. Two pitches later, designated hitter Jabari Henry hit a three-run home run to left field to give the visitors a 6-4 lead.

Third baseman Carson Maxwell scored on a throwing error with two out in the top of the ninth inning as the Kansas City Monarchs (34-33) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 4-3 at Blue Cross Park Tuesday evening.

Miles Simington hit a two-run inside-the-park home run in the top of the 11th inning as the Winnipeg Goldeyes (38-30) defeated the Sioux Falls Canaries 3-1 at Sioux Falls Stadium Sunday afternoon.
 
Box Score
 

Jordan Barth’s tenth inning single gave the Sioux Falls Canaries (37-27) a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes at Sioux Falls Stadium Thursday evening. Two streaks were snapped as a result, as the Canaries had dropped six consecutive games and the Goldeyes were winners of six straight.

For the second time this season, Winnipeg Goldeyes ace Joey Matulovich has been named American Association Pitcher of the Week, the league announced Monday. He previously won the award June 10 and was also honoured as the Rawlings Pitcher of the Month for June.
 

The Winnipeg Goldeyes (36-28) put a bow on their schedule before the All-Star break Sunday afternoon, defeating the Milwaukee Milkmen 8-0 at Blue Cross Park for the series sweep.

Box Score
 
It was Winnipeg’s sixth win in a row, which is the longest streak in the league this season. As usual, the Goldeyes took down the Milkmen (31-33) in the only way they seem to know how, with spectacular pitching and scoring runs when they need them most.
