Goldeyes Enhance Fan Experience for 2026

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 16:00:15 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday several improvements to Blue Cross Park that will be in place for the upcoming American Association season.

The biggest improvement will be a new LED field lighting system provided by Ballpark Lighting Inc. These new LED lights will replace the old incandescent lights with a more energy efficient and environmentally-friendly system. The LEDs have multiple colour fixtures and will improve the game experience with dynamic colour changes and customizable light shows for player intros, home runs, and more.

“We can’t wait to bring our game presentation experience to a whole new level with this new LED system and create memorable moments for all of our passionate fans,” said General Manager Andrew Collier .

Other improvements include new grandstand seating and flooring. “We noticed there were some seats that were showing their age after last season ended, and we decided to do a full inspection and replace every seat that showed obvious wear-and-tear,” said Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Regan Katz . “We also saw a need for improving the flooring for the beloved Craft Beer Corner and wanted it to match the two new fan-favourite patios we added in 2024.”

Another improvement to Blue Cross Park, for the upcoming 2026 season, is a larger bicycle parking area with enhanced lighting.

“We noticed an increase in fans biking to games last season, and there were multiple days where we almost ran out of space for everyone’s bikes. We wanted to make sure that doesn’t happen and take the opportunity to add more lights to make it safer,” said Collier.

Lastly, a new concession – Sol Bistro – will be open on the Concourse behind Section O, near Gate Two. Sol Bistro showcases vibrant, Asian-fusion cuisine such as Rice Bowls, Korean Fried Chicken, Lumpia, and more!

“We’re proud to have another amazing locally-owned concession available for our fans to enjoy all season long. It’s great to add another unique option to the already diverse array of concessions throughout Blue Cross Park,” said Food and Beverage Manager Melissa Schlichting .

The Goldeyes will begin the 2026 schedule Friday, May 15 against the Milwaukee Milkmen in Franklin, Wisconsin. The home opener, at Blue Cross Park, versus the Kane County Cougars is scheduled for Tuesday, May 19 at 6:30 p.m.

Enríquez Re-Signs as Goldeyes Add Late Lineup Lift

Thu, 23 Apr 2026 18:15:00 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Thursday that outfielder Roby Enríquez has re-signed with the club for the 2026 season.

The 29-year-old hit .280 for the team in 2025, with 13 doubles and 22 runs batted in. He struck out just 35 times in 243 at-bats. Defensively, Enríquez led the Goldeyes with seven outfield assists.

Enríquez joined the team in 2024 and posted a .296 batting average along with 18 doubles, three home runs, and 42 RBIs.

Prior to signing with the Goldeyes, the Carolina, Puerto Rico native spent two seasons in the Arizona Diamondbacks’ system, reaching the Class-AA level with the Texas League’s Amarillo Sod Poodles in 2022 and 2023. In 136 games in Arizona’s chain, Enríquez hit .290 with 27 doubles, eight home runs, and 65 RBIs.

Enríquez made his professional debut with the Boise Hawks of the Pioneer League – a Major League Baseball Partner League – in 2021 after two seasons at Indiana State University (Terre Haute, Indiana).

A left-handed batter, Enríquez also has experience playing in the Puerto Rican Winter League and has represented the island in the Caribbean Series, where he has been a teammate of numerous Major League veterans.

“Getting Roby back is a huge boost for our lineup,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “We thought we had probably lost him to Mexico, so adding him this late in the offseason is really significant for us. He’s excited to be back and with us for a full season, and I think he’s going to have a great year.”

In a separate transaction, the Goldeyes released rookie infielder Mason Dobie . The Meaford, Ontario product was slated to make his professional debut with the club next month.

Winnipeg now has 26 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 22:00:04 GMT

Arrival from Sweden, The Australian Bee Gees and Kyle Martin’s Piano Man to headline a night of 1970s and 1980s hits in downtown Winnipeg

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes are turning back the clock this summer with Retro Revival at the Ballpark , a celebration of the greatest hits of the 1970s and 1980s, coming to Blue Cross Park Friday, July 17, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. Music lovers can expect an unforgettable night of singalong favourites and iconic pop anthems featuring:

Arrival from Sweden: The Music of ABBA
The Australian Bee Gees
Kyle Martin’s Piano Man

Tickets for Retro Revival at the Ballpark go on sale Thursday, April 16 at 10:00 a.m. at Goldeyes.com . On-field seating is $85 (plus taxes and fees), while in-stand seats are priced at $70 (plus taxes and fees).

“Blue Cross Park has become much more than a ballpark — it is a gathering place for memorable summer experiences in the heart of downtown Winnipeg,” said Regan Katz, Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Winnipeg Goldeyes . “We are committed to bringing exciting events to Blue Cross Park each summer and giving people even more reasons to come downtown, support local business, and make lasting memories with family and friends.”

Retro Revival at the Ballpark is one of three concerts scheduled for Blue Cross Park this summer , joining Country Rising Festival August 21 and Tacos & Tequila Festival August 22 . The growing summer concert lineup reflects the Goldeyes’ continued focus on expanding the use of Blue Cross Park as a premier outdoor entertainment destination in Winnipeg.

Headlining the evening is Arrival from Sweden: The Music of ABBA , widely recognized as one of the world’s leading live productions celebrating the music of ABBA. Founded in 1995 in Gothenburg, Sweden, the show was created with ties to ABBA’s original musical legacy and has built an international reputation through decades of touring and performances in countries around the world. The production is known for recreating the sound, look and energy of ABBA’s timeless catalogue for audiences across generations.

Also appearing are The Australian Bee Gees , a long-running tribute act that has been performing together continuously since 1996. Over the course of its career, the group has staged more than 6,500 performances in more than 55 countries, earned recognition in Las Vegas, and built a loyal following with a show that traces the Bee Gees’ greatest hits from the early years through the disco era.

Rounding out the lineup is Kyle Martin’s Piano Man , a high-energy production celebrating the music of Billy Joel . Martin was hand-picked by Billy Joel for the touring production of Movin’ Out and now stars in his own Las Vegas production, where he and his band perform a powerhouse set built around some of the most beloved piano-driven songs in pop music.

The concert will take place at Blue Cross Park , home of the Winnipeg Goldeyes since 1999. The downtown, 7,000-seat venue has hosted not only Goldeyes baseball, but also concerts, charity events, and amateur and international sporting competitions. Expanded to its current footprint in 2003, Blue Cross Park now includes 26 Skysuites, four patios, a Picnic Park, and the Original Craft Beer Corner, while its location near The Forks, the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, the Exchange District and St. Boniface makes it one of Winnipeg’s most distinctive and accessible summer event settings.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Wednesday the signing of Canadian rookie catcher Raphaël Pelletier .

Pelletier finished the 2025 season with the London Majors of the Intercounty Baseball League, where he batted .243 with two home runs and four runs batted in in 11 games.

The Repentigny, Québec native was chosen by the Texas Rangers in the 25th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of École Secondaire Édouard-Montpetit (Montréal, Québec).

Pelletier attended Kansas State University (Manhattan, Kansas) from 2022 to 2024 and the University of Kentucky (Lexington, Kentucky) in 2025. The 24-year-old hit .224 with 20 doubles and 19 home runs in 173 college contests. He drove in 70 runs.

A former member of Canada’s National Junior Team, in 2018 Pelletier competed at the Pan American Baseball Confederation (COPABE) U-18 Pan-American Championships, winning a bronze medal.

“We are excited to sign another young Canadian player in Pelletier,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “He’s going to strengthen our catching situation and give us opportunities to mix up the lineup a little bit. Raphaël is the kind of player our pitchers will enjoy throwing to, and his ability to throw out base runners will be critical when we face division opponents who like to run.”

Pelletier is the seventh Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining pitcher Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), pitcher James Bradwell (North Vancouver, British Columbia), catcher/infielder Mason Dobie (Meaford, Ontario), infielder/outfielder Adam Hall (Lucan, Ontario), pitcher Eli Saul (Vancouver, British Columbia), and infielder T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, Ontario).

Winnipeg now has 26 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Goldeyes Add Canadian Reliever Saul

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 19:09:04 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Thursday the signing of right-handed Canadian relief pitcher Eli Saul .

The Vancouver, British Columbia native split the 2025 season between the Hillsboro Hops of the Class-A Advanced Northwest League and the Double-A Texas League’s Amarillo Sod Poodles. He compiled a 5-3 record with a 4.74 earned run average in 62.2 innings pitched over 53 appearances.

Saul was originally drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 29th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Prince of Wales Secondary School (Vancouver, British Columbia) but opted to attend college. He was selected a second time by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 13th round in 2022 after three seasons at California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento, California).

Over four seasons in the Diamondbacks’ chain, the 24-year-old went 8-8 with a 4.94 ERA and eight saves in 136 games.

“We’re excited to add another talented Canadian player to our roster,” said Goldeyes Skipper Logan Watkins . “Eli brings plenty of affiliated experience and a really strong arm. We expect him to be one of our power arms out of the bullpen and potentially a late-inning, high-leverage guy for us. I’m looking forward to seeing him throw in person and to seeing what he can do for our organization in 2026.”

Saul is the sixth Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), James Bradwell (North Vancouver, British Columbia), Mason Dobie (Meaford, Ontario), Adam Hall (Lucan, Ontario) and T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, Ontario).

Winnipeg now has 25 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Goldeyes Reveal Buzzworthy Rebrand

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 15:15:46 GMT

(Yes, Really. Mostly.)

WINNIPEG, MB — In a move absolutely no one asked for, but everyone somehow understands, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Baseball Club announced today that it will rebrand under an alternate identity that strikes fear, irritation, and mild itching into the hearts of opponents everywhere: the Manitoba Mosquitoes .

Long considered Manitoba’s most relentless and undefeated summer competitor, the mosquito has officially earned its place on the diamond.

For decades, mosquitoes have terrorized Manitobans with elite speed, pinpoint accuracy, and an uncanny ability to show up exactly when you thought you were safe at home. After extensive scouting, the Goldeyes concluded there was no more fitting symbol of summer dominance.

“Let’s be honest — nothing says ‘Manitoba summer’ quite like mosquitoes,” said Andrew Collier , Mosquitoes General Manager. “They’re fast, persistent, impossible to ignore, and once they show up, you’re not getting rid of them. Mosquitoes felt… on brand.”

Under the Manitoba Mosquitoes identity, fans can expect all the things they’ve come to love: aggressive base running, relentless pressure, and an opponent experience best described as loud, uncomfortable, and impossible to escape.

The alternate identity pays tribute to Manitoba’s unofficial provincial bird, whose legendary work ethic and refusal to quit have inspired generations of campers, cottagers, and baseball fans alike.

Like their winged counterparts, the Manitoba Mosquitoes promise to:

Swarm early
Swarm often
Never stop swarming

“These things don’t rebuild. They don’t tank. They don’t take nights off,” said Dan Chase , Mosquitoes Director of Sales and Marketing, scratching aggressively. “They swarm. They adapt. And once they get a lead, they never stop bothering you about it.”

Players will take the field in special Mosquitoes-themed jerseys, conceptualized by Brooks Freeman of Serpent Design, while fans can look forward to themed promotions, exclusive merchandise, and the unsettling realization that this idea works far too well. Bug spray not included.

“We wanted an identity that represents Manitoba toughness,” Chase continued. “The mosquito doesn’t care how big you are, where you’re from, or what inning it is. If you’re here, they’re coming for you.”

IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION BEFORE ANYONE CALLS AN ENTOMOLOGIST:

This announcement is an April Fools’ joke… kind of.

While the Winnipeg Goldeyes are not permanently changing their name to the Manitoba Mosquitoes — for legal, moral, and biological reasons — the team will officially rebrand for one game only on July 31 , when the Mosquitoes will swarm the field for a night fans will never forget and may never stop talking about.

So this season, when the lights come on and the Mosquitoes take the field, remember: you might not see them coming, but you’ll definitely feel them.

Manitoba Mosquitoes merchandise is available for pre-order at ShopGoldeyes.ca , while tickets to the July 31 game vs. the Lincoln Saltdogs are on sale now .

Canadian Outfielder Hall Rejoins Goldeyes

Fri, 27 Mar 2026 15:48:24 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday the signing of Canadian outfielder Adam Hall .

Hall recently represented Canada at the World Baseball Classic as the team reached the quarterfinals of the tournament for the first time.

The 26-year-old began the 2024 campaign with the Goldeyes before his contract was transferred to the Milwaukee Brewers. He was ultimately assigned to the Biloxi Shuckers of the Double-A Southern League, where he hit .262 with three doubles and 16 runs batted in.

Hall split last season between the Shuckers and the Nashville Sounds of the Triple-A International League, hitting a combined .232 with nine doubles, three triples, one home run, and 21 RBIs. He also stole 25 bases and was caught just once.

Born in Hamilton, Bermuda, Hall’s parents relocated to southern Ontario to further his development as a baseball player. He was selected in the second round of the 2017 Major League Baseball Draft by the Baltimore Orioles out of A.B. Lucas Secondary School in London, Ontario.

Hall played parts of six seasons in the Orioles’ organization, reaching as high as Triple-A with the Norfolk Tides of the International League in 2022.

A member of Canada’s Junior National Team from 2015 to 2017, Hall also participated in the 2015 WBSC U-18 Baseball World Cup.

“Bringing Adam back is huge news for us. He got off to a hot start with us two years ago before being picked up, and we believe he can bring that same impact again in 2026,” said skipper Logan Watkins. “We know he’s motivated to put together a successful, healthy season, and we’re excited to have him back.”

Hall is the fifth Canadian on the Goldeyes’ roster, joining Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), James Bradwell (North Vancouver, British Columbia), Mason Dobie (Meaford, Ontario), and T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, Ontario).

In a separate transaction, right-handed starting pitcher Ben Kowalski was traded to the Kane County Cougars in exchange for a player to be named later. Kowalski was re-signed on December 22 after making his professional debut with the Goldeyes in 2025. The 26-year-old split last season between Winnipeg and the Dorados de Chihuahua of the Mexican League. He went 3-1 with a 3.58 earned run average in seven games with the Goldeyes.

Winnipeg now has 24 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Goldeyes Ink Japanese Reliever Kohigashi

Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:00:03 GMT

Photo Credit: Christian Gingras/Québec Capitales

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Wednesday of left-handed relief pitcher Ryo Kohigashi (pronounced REE-oh koh-hee-GAH-shee)

The 28-year-old most recently played with the Australian Baseball League’s Brisbane Bandits, where he appeared in eight contests and posted a 1-0 record with a 7.45 earned run average. It was his third season in the Australian circuit, having also pitched for the Auckland Tuatara and the Canberra Cavalry.

The bulk of Kohigashi’s professional experience came with the Québec Capitales of the Frontier League with whom he won championships in 2024 and 2025. Over those two seasons, the Kyoto, Japan native saw action in 51 regular season games, going 8-3 with a tidy 2.67 ERA.

“Acquiring Ryo was a little off our radar, as we were already nearing the maximum number of pitchers we expected to sign this offseason,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins. “But after taking a closer look, he was simply too good to pass up. He has been one of the top arms on a very strong Québec club over the past few years, and we’re fortunate he became available to us. I expect his success in the Frontier League to carry over to the American Association and for him to become one of our more reliable options out of the bullpen.”

In a second transaction, the Goldeyes re-acquired right-handed pitcher James Colyer . The 26-year-old reliever originally signed with the club in November, and his contract was subsequently transferred to the Washington Nationals organization.

Winnipeg now has 24 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Tuesday that the contract of Canadian infielder Bryce Arnold has been transferred to the Cleveland Guardians.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Veteran Didder

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 15:28:23 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of infielder Ray-Patrick Didder .

Didder suited up for 85 games for the Goldeyes in 2025 and hit .199 with 10 home runs and 20 runs batted in while also playing strong defensively, primarily at second base.

Didder was signed as an international free agent by the Atlanta Braves at the age of 18 and made his professional debut with their Dominican Summer League entry in 2013. He played seven seasons in Atlanta’s system, reaching the Class-AA level on two occasions with the Southern League’s Mississippi Braves.

In the years since his professional debut with the Braves organization, the 31-year-old has spent time in the affiliated ranks of the Los Angeles Angels, Miami Marlins, and San Diego Padres, reaching Class-AAA twice with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (MIA, 2022) and El Paso Chihuahuas (SDP, 2023).

In 11 seasons in the minor leagues, Didder compiled a .235 batting average, with 133 doubles, 42 triples, 58 home runs, and 351 runs batted in. He has also swiped 241 bases.

On the international stage, Didder, a native of Oranjestad, Aruba, has represented the Netherlands several times and will be suiting up to represent them in the 2026 World Baseball Classic alongside Goldeyes pitcher Arij Fransen and former Goldeyes Dayson Croes (2023-24) and Juan Carlos Sulbaran (2018). The Netherlands kick off their tournament on Friday, March 6, against Venezuela.

“I am happy we are bringing Ray-Patrick back for another season,” said Goldeyes field boss Logan Watkins . “He's one of the most gifted players in the league in terms of ability, and he's motivated to come back and prove that. He was off to a great start last season before he dislocated a finger and then never really got momentum back once he was healthy. I think this year he will be coming into the season with a point to prove and show what he's capable of.”

Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Bourassa Re-Ups with Goldeyes for Sixth Season

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 15:47:50 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Friday of Canadian right-handed starting pitcher Landen Bourassa , returning for his sixth season in Winnipeg.

Bourassa made 15 starts in 2025 and posted a 6-6 record with a 4.20 earned run average over 85.2 innings.

The Lethbridge, Alberta native has spent his entire professional career as a member of the Goldeyes after signing in 2021. In the years since, he has become a fan-favourite and has established himself as one of the most consistent starting arms in the franchise’s history.

In his 74 starts for the Goldeyes, which rank fifth in team history, Bourassa has compiled a 34-24 record with a 4.13 ERA to go along with 301 strikeouts. His 442 innings pitched are also posted in the Goldeyes record books, ranking fifth all-time.

He arrived in Winnipeg after spending four seasons (2018-21) with the University of San Francisco Dons. In his collegiate career, he tallied a 16-9 record with a 2.93 ERA and 144 strikeouts across 196.2 innings.

Bourassa is the fifth Canadian signed by the Goldeyes this offseason, joining T.J. Schofield-Sam (Mississauga, ON), Mason Dobie (Meaford, ON), James Bradwell (North Vancouver, BC), and Bryce Arnold (Hamilton, ON).

“Re-signing Landen is one of the biggest moves of the off-season for us,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. “With him dealing with some sickness last year, he never really got his momentum for the season, but he went and had a great winter in Australia. He will once again be our opening day starter and be one of the top pitchers in the entire league in 2026.”

Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Field of Dreams Foundation Announces Funding to 48 Manitoba Charities

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 16:24:53 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes, in conjunction with the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation, are pleased to announce the beneficiaries of funds raised during the 2025 baseball season.

During the 2025 calendar year, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation raised and distributed close to $100,000 in support of 48 registered children’s charities (complete list of recipients below) through generous contributions from Manitobans throughout the province.

Among this year’s funding recipients is the Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba (LDAM), which empowers individuals with learning disabilities and/or ADHD through specialized educational workshops and programs. They build on each person’s strengths, provide practical strategies tailored to diverse learning needs, and promote confidence, independence, and personal growth. Through their supports, LDAM helps individuals and families better understand learning differences and thrive at school, at work, and in the community.

“The Field of Dreams Foundation’s support will be used to purchase structured reading materials and comprehension-based learning games for individuals participating in our Barton Reading & Spelling tutoring program. These resources support skill development, engagement, and confidence in learning, and allow us to continue delivering high-quality, evidence-based tutoring for individuals with learning disabilities.”
– Karen Velthuys , Executive Director of Learning Disabilities Association of Manitoba.

The Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba raises funds and mobilizes community support to advance excellence in pediatric health care and child health research. Through philanthropy and partnerships, the Foundation helps equip care teams with leading-edge technology, strengthens family-centred programs and spaces, and supports research that improves diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes for children and youth. By investing in innovation and compassionate care, the Foundation helps ensure Manitoba’s children receive the best possible care today—and a healthier future for generations to come.

“We’re deeply grateful to the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams for supporting kids who need Manitoba’s only children’s hospital. This generous donation will go towards technology on CK5, the childhood cancer, blood disorders and transplant ward at HSC Children’s Hospital, to help provide comfort and connection for kids facing long and difficult stays.”
– Stefano Grande , President & Chief Executive Officer of Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.

The Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) is a national non-profit organization dedicated to changing what it means to be blind today. Through innovative programs, accessible services, and powerful advocacy, they empower people who are blind, partially sighted, or living with sight loss to pursue their goals, build confidence and independence, and participate fully in their communities. Working alongside families, employers, educators, and community partners, CNIB helps remove barriers to inclusion and advances accessibility in everyday life. Their impact is made possible by a strong network of volunteers, donors, and partners from coast to coast to coast who share a vision of a more inclusive Canada.

“We are deeply grateful to the Field of Dreams Foundation for their generous support of this special Easter event. These funds will allow us to purchase beeping eggs—specially designed eggs that emit a soft chirping sound so children can locate them by hearing rather than sight—ensuring that children who are blind or have low vision can fully participate in a joyful, inclusive celebration."

The Kidney Foundation of Canada is the leading national charity dedicated to eliminating the burden of kidney disease. Through funding and stimulating innovative research, the Foundation advances better prevention, improved treatments, and progress toward a cure. It provides education and practical supports to help people at risk reduce their chances of developing kidney disease and empowers those living with kidney disease to manage their health and quality of life. The Foundation also advocates for equitable access to high-quality kidney care and works to increase public awareness and commitment to kidney health and organ donation across Canada.

“The generous funding from the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation is so important to the Kidney Foundation, for it helps us give kids something precious: a week where their diagnosis doesn’t define them, and where friendships formed are deep and genuine, built on a shared understanding of each other’s journey with kidney disease.”
– Greg Unger , Executive Director, The Kidney Foundation of Canada, Manitoba Branch.

“We’re proud to once again stand behind children’s charities that are changing lives across Manitoba,” said Tony Fletcher, President of the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation. “These organizations do vital work in our communities every day, and we’re grateful to play a small role in helping them reach more kids and families. That support is only possible because of the continued generosity of Goldeyes fans and corporate partners, whose commitment helps us give back year after year and strengthen the impact we can make together.”

Since its inception in 1995, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation has raised and distributed close to $4 Million to children’s charities in Manitoba. Revenue sources include the Field of Dreams Foundation annual golf tournament, fan donations, the Fillmore Riley LLP Ks for Kids program, the Sonia’s Stand Radar Pitching Booth, memorabilia auctions, and the sale of 50/50 tickets during home games at Blue Cross Park.

“Signing T.J. has been a long process, but I am happy we got a deal done,” said Goldeyes field manager Logan Watkins . “He’s been one of our top targets, and he will bring a ton of offensive production to our team this season. It’s always great to add another Canadian, and especially one like T.J., who has a lot of affiliated experience but is still young. His best baseball is still ahead of him, and I’m excited to see him in a Goldeyes uniform.”

Country Rising Festival Returns to Winnipeg August 21

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 14:03:17 GMT

Social House Entertainment brings a new era of modern country to Blue Cross Park, headlined by BigXthaPlug with Dylan Monroe and Redferrin

WINNIPEG, MB – A new era of country music is coming back to Winnipeg. Country Rising Festival , headlined by BigXthaPlug , is a one-day outdoor music experience dedicated to spotlighting the artists redefining the genre. The event returns Friday, August 21, 2026 , at Blue Cross Park .

Produced by Social House Entertainment, the creators of the internationally recognized Tacos & Tequila Festival , Country Rising blends modern country music with culture, nightlife, and immersive festival energy—delivering more than a concert, but a full-scale day-to-night party.

Leading the lineup, BigXthaPlug brings his genre-shifting sound and undeniable presence to Blue Cross Park, joined by Dylan Monroe and Redferrin —a group of artists pushing country beyond tradition by mixing hip-hop influence, Southern grit, and genre-bending sound.

Set under open skies at Blue Cross Park, Country Rising will feature high-energy live performances, line dancing, elevated local food and drink, interactive games, bold brand activations, a mechanical bull, and VIP lounge experiences designed for social sharing and discovery. This is cool country—loud, modern, and built for fans who want to be part of what’s next.

“We’re excited to welcome Country Rising back to Blue Cross Park and bring to Winnipeg a festival that feels fresh, energetic, and rooted in today’s music culture,” said Regan Katz, Winnipeg Goldeyes Vice President & Chief Operating Officer . “This event brings together great artists, a vibrant atmosphere, and a community experience that’s a perfect fit for our venue and the city.”

Country Rising comes from the team behind Tacos & Tequila Festival, which has spent the past five years building one of the country’s most successful lifestyle-driven music festivals, with sold-out events across major U.S. markets.

“Country Rising is about where country music is going—not where it’s been,” said Nick Noland, Chief Executive Officer of Social House Entertainment . “Winnipeg has been an important part of this festival’s story, and we’ve learned a lot from the fans and the community every time we’ve brought Country Rising here. Returning to Blue Cross Park allows us to build on that foundation and continue evolving the experience—musically, culturally, and creatively. We’ve spent years creating festivals that blend music, nightlife, and community, and bringing Country Rising back with BigXthaPlug leading the charge feels like the right next step for this market and for the genre.

ARTIST LINEUP

BigXThaPlug – Fresh off a newly announced Stagecoach appearance, BigXthaPlug is one of the most talked-about names reshaping the sound of modern country and hip-hop. Known for breakout tracks like “Texas,” “Mmhmm,” and “Whip It,” his raw storytelling, Southern grit, and genre-blurring production have made him a standout voice on festival stages nationwide.
Dylan Marlowe – An emerging force in modern country, Dylan Marlowe broke through with his breakout hit “Boys Back Home” and continues to connect with fans through honest songwriting and a sound that blends nostalgia with now. One of the genre’s most promising new voices.
Redferrin – Country grit meets hip-hop swagger. Redferrin has built a loyal following with viral hits like “Just Like Johnny,” “Jack and Diet Coke,” and “Miss Summer,” delivering bass-heavy country made for late nights, loud crowds, and hands-in-the-air moments.

EARLY BIRD TICKETS AVAILABLE NOW

Early access includes General Admission and VIP Early Bird tickets, available in limited quantities before prices increase.

From single tickets to bundles, group rates, and bottle service, Country Rising offers options for however you want to show up. VIP tickets include expedited entry, premium viewing areas, and exclusive drink inclusions. Additional experiences and upgrades will be available.

Lefty Vaupel Signs with Goldeyes

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:47:49 GMT

Photo Credit: Abbie Schultz/Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Monday of left-handed pitcher Kevin Vaupel .

Vaupel spent the 2025 season with the Jupiter Hammerheads, the Class-A level affiliate of the Miami Marlins. In 30 games (one start), he posted a 1-1 record with a 3.71 earned run average and 62 strikeouts over 53.1 innings.

The 24-year-old made his professional debut in 2023 for the Florida Complex League Marlins and made one appearance.

The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native was chosen in the 16 ^th round of the 2023 MLB June Amateur Draft out of Seton Hall University (Greensburg, PA). In four college seasons (2020-23), Vaupel compiled a 13-5 record with a 3.76 ERA in 36 games (30 starts).

“Kevin is another big signing for us,” said Goldeyes field manager Logan Watkins . “I came across him combing through the free agent list and liked what I saw statistically over the course of his career. Once we contacted him and acquired video, it was easy to see that he is a really good, young pitcher with a lot of upside. We already have some left-handed relievers signed, but Kevin was too good not to pursue. He fits what we look for from a pitching perspective: high strikeouts and low walks. I think he has a chance to be one of our better pitchers on the staff in 2026.”

Winnipeg now has 19 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Goldeyes Sign Veteran Outfielder Tromp

Fri, 23 Jan 2026 15:55:44 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Friday of veteran outfielder Jiandido Tromp.

The native of Oranjestad, Aruba, most recently played for the Leones de León of the Nicaraguan Winter League, and hit .321 with seven home runs and 22 runs batted in over 40 games.

He also helped the Netherlands win their 25th continental title at the 2025 European Baseball Championship in September, along with 2025 Goldeyes infielder Ray-Patrick Didder.

His professional career has taken him all over the world, with previous stops in Canada, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, the Netherlands, and Italy.

The 32-year-old made his professional debut in 2012 with the Gulf Coast League Phillies, the Rookie-level affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. He spent seven seasons between 2012 and 2018 in the Phillies organization, reaching the Class-AAA level on two occasions.

In 641 minor-league games, Tromp hit .248 with 69 home runs and 269 RBIs. Defensively, he has spent the majority of his time in center field, with the flexibility to move to either left or right.

“I’m excited to sign Jiandido and get him to Winnipeg,” said Goldeyes’ manager Logan Watkins . “He’s a veteran guy who has played a lot of baseball all over the world. I expect him to be one of our more consistent hitters and a great presence in the clubhouse.”

Winnipeg now has 18 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Crafty Lefty Lambson Re-Ups with Goldeyes

Wed, 21 Jan 2026 15:41:36 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of left-handed starting pitcher Mitchell Lambson , returning for his seventh season in Winnipeg.

Lambson started 20 games in 2025, posting an 8-6 record with a 4.86 earned run average and 138 strikeouts. He was voted as last-man-in on the West Division roster in the 2025 American Association All-Star Game.

The 35-year-old has become a staple in the Goldeyes’ record books, appearing among the franchise leaders in most pitching categories. He ranks second in wins (42), strikeouts (438), innings pitched (557), and complete games (12), and fourth in games started (75).

Overall, the native of Montclair, California has made 114 appearances for Winnipeg between 2017 and 2025 and has compiled a 42-23 record with a 4.06 ERA.

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.

Chosen by the Houston Astros in the 19th round of the 2011 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Arizona State University (Tempe, Arizona), Lambson also pitched in the Atlanta Braves’ and Milwaukee Brewers’ organizations, reaching the Class-AAA level on two occasions.

“Mitch is another great veteran addition, said Goldeyes’ field boss Logan Watkins. “He battled through a little bit of arm trouble last year towards the end of the year, but made every start for us. In fact, for a big portion of the season, he was the only one of our original starting pitchers healthy in the rotation. He brings so much experience, and we know every time he takes the ball, we have a chance to win. He's never going to overpower anyone, but he's a dying breed of pitchers who know how to control the game by mixing up his pitches and relying on location. I know our fans will be happy to see him back.”

In a separate transaction Wednesday, the Goldeyes traded the rights to outfielder Tanner O’Tremba to the Lincoln Saltdogs in exchange for future considerations. O’Tremba suited up in 69 games for the Goldeyes in 2025, hitting .215 with six home runs and 31 runs batted in.

Winnipeg now has 17 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Veteran García

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 15:47:21 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Monday of catcher and infielder Kevin García.

García played in 61 games in 2025, hitting .248 with four home runs and 27 runs batted in. Defensively, he suited up in 48 games behind the plate and posted a .997 fielding percentage. He also saw time at third base, playing eight games at the hot corner.

Entering what will now be his fifth season in Winnipeg, García has played 227 games for Winnipeg over the 2018, 2019, 2024, and 2025 seasons, combining for a .236 batting average with 32 doubles, 10 home runs, and 87 RBIs.

Hailing from Calexico, California, García was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 30th round of the 2014 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Loyola Marymount University (Los Angeles, California). He spent two seasons in the Blue Jays’ system before signing with the Minnesota Twins in 2016.

In four seasons in the affiliated minors, García hit .250 with two home runs and 54 RBIs. In addition to catching, he has played all four infield positions in his career.

“It’s good news for the organization that Kevin is back,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. “It's important to have a strong veteran presence in the clubhouse, and he brings that along with a great work ethic. We have a lot of trust in him to control the game from the catching position, and last year, it was good to see him have a strong offensive season with added opportunities. He's been as excited as anyone to get back on the field in 2026 and is ready to get back to the playoffs.”

Winnipeg now has 16 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

The best part about him is that he's always willing to pitch if he feels good enough, regardless of if he pitched the night before. We are going to rely on him a lot again this year, and I know he is excited to be back in Winnipeg.”

Right-Hander Boyd Re-Signs with Goldeyes

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:20:31 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Wednesday the re-signing of right-handed starting pitcher Luke Boyd .

Boyd signed with the Goldeyes May 28 and went on to start 17 games, posting a 5-10 record with a 4.53 earned run average over 95.1 innings.

The native of Ojai, California, was originally chosen in the 38 ^th round of the 2019 MLB June Amateur Draft by the Los Angeles Angels out of Baylor University (Waco, Texas) before returning to college. He re-entered the draft in 2021 and was selected in the 17 ^th round by the San Diego Padres.

The 28-year-old spent three years in the Padres system, reaching High-A with the Fort Wayne TinCaps in both 2021 and 2022.

Boyd played the 2023 season with the Cleburne Railroaders under Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . He played parts of three seasons in Cleburne while also making a stop with the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in 2024.

In his career, Boyd has compiled a 15-19 record in 105 appearances (31 starts) with a 4.90 ERA.

“We’re happy to have Luke back for 2026,” said Watkins. “When we acquired Luke last year, we were in desperate need of starting pitching, and he showed up and competed for us every time he took the ball. I fully believe he's capable of being really effective for us in either a starting or relief role, and the trust he built with us last season gives us a lot of confidence in him.”

Winnipeg now has 14 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Lynch (first name pronounced KEE-shawn) played in 79 games for the club in 2025, batting .267 with 15 doubles, two triples, one home run, and 27 runs batted in.

Chosen in the 14th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks out of State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota (Bradenton, Florida), Lynch spent three years in their system.

The native of Lake Hamilton, Florida reached the Class-A level with the Kane County Cougars – then of the Midwest League – in 2019.

Lynch has compiled a career .237 batting average with 58 doubles, eight triples, seven home runs, and 133 RBIs in 392 games.

“Keshawn being back is a big deal for a number of reasons,” said Watkins. “Apart from being a really good versatile player, he is an extremely important person for our team and our clubhouse. He brings energy everyday and keeps things loose for everybody. I was happy we got a chance to see him in the lineup more last season, and he definitely took advantage of his opportunities. He is going to be a big factor yet again for us this season.”

Winnipeg now has 13 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Marcelo was acquired from the Boise Hawks of the Pioneer League September 15, 2025.

The 25-year-old hit .351 for the Hawks in 2025, with 12 home runs and 75 runs batted in. The Redwood City, California native led the Pioneer League with 64 stolen bases, and was caught just eight times.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Right-Hander Kowalski

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 20:00:20 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Monday of right-handed starting pitcher Ben Kowalski .

Kowalski originally signed with the Goldeyes May 13 and made his professional debut May 20 in a win over the Milwaukee Milkmen. His contract was then transferred to the Dorados de Chihuahua of the Mexican League May 25. He returned to Winnipeg late in the season, signing August 15.

In seven games (five starts) with the Goldeyes in 2025, he went 3-1 with a 3.58 earned run average. With Chihuahua, he appeared in 15 games (two starts) and did not record a win-loss record, while recording a 7.23 ERA.

He also played one season with the Normal CornBelters (Normal, Illinois) of the Prospect League in 2021. In nine games of collegiate summer action, he was 3-2 with a 2.45 ERA.

“Ben burst onto the scene last year and had great success as a rookie,” said Goldeyes field boss Logan Watkins . “He’s an intense competitor and gave us a chance to win every time he took the mound. He has versatility in the fact that he can be a starter or reliever, so we will see how the rest of the offseason unfolds and determine his role during the spring.”

Winnipeg now has 11 players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Lefty Lombard Returns to Goldeyes' Bullpen

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 20:44:23 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Friday of left-handed relief pitcher Weston Lombard .

After originally signing with the Goldeyes July 12, Lombard went on to make six appearances, posting a 1-0 record and a 1.80 earned run average. He struck out seven batters over 10.0 innings pitched before suffering a season-ending injury.

The 27-year-old made his professional debut in 2023 with the New York Boulders of the Frontier League, appearing in eight games, starting two. In that time, he tallied a 2-1 record with a 3.86 ERA.

Lombard played three seasons (2018-21) at Gustavus Adolphus College (Saint Peter, Minnesota) before transferring to the University of San Francisco (San Francisco, California) to play out his final two seasons (2022-23). In his five seasons at the collegiate level, he compiled a 14-12 record in 65 appearances (24 starts) with a 4.27 ERA.

He also spent time in the Northwoods League on two occasions, first (2021) with the Willmar Stingers (Willmar, Minnesota), and then (2022) with the Mankato MoonDogs (Mankato, Minnesota). In 13 games, he was 1-4 with a 5.97 ERA.

“Weston’s time with us last season was cut short by injury,” said Goldeyes field manager Logan Watkins . “But, when he was available, he showed he can be a strong arm for us. I think we will be getting an even better version this season, and we are excited to see it.”

Winnipeg now has ten players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Murphy to Return for Sixth Season With Goldeyes

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 17:41:52 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Wednesday of outfielder Max Murphy .

The 33-year-old returns to the Goldeyes for a sixth season. In 2025, he hit .277 with 15 home runs and 62 runs batted in, leading the club in the latter two categories.

Coming off another year where he continued to etch his name into the Goldeyes’ record books, Murphy became the club’s all-time leader in home runs after he hit his 93rd in a June 11 contest against the Chicago Dogs. That mark surpassed franchise great Reggie Abercrombie, who hit 92 round-trippers in his Goldeyes career.

Murphy added to his franchise-best mark, finishing the season with 102. He also appears primed to become the team’s all-time RBI leader in 2026, as he sits just six behind Abercrombie (393).

One of the most prolific run producers in American Association history, Murphy is a multiple-time all-star and sits among the league’s all-time leaders in several offensive categories. He moved into fourth all-time with 131 home runs, passing former Goldeyes infielder Josh Mazzola (130). He also jumped into second in career RBIs, sitting only behind Abercrombie (606) with 525. Murphy was named the league’s Player of the Year in 2022.

The native of Robbinsdale, Minnesota has hit .286 over his professional career, with 174 home runs and 736 RBIs.

A right-handed hitter and fielder, Murphy was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the ninth round in 2014 out of Bradley University (Peoria, Illinois). He earned All-Star accolades twice during his time with the Twins and garnered a Minor League Baseball Gold Glove award in 2017. Murphy reached the Triple-A level with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2019.

“I’m stating the obvious, but we’re very excited Max is back on board for another season,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “He’s one of the all-time greats of this organization and in the league, and he’s still got a lot of good baseball left in him. He’s also a great leader for this team and someone who really sets the tone in the clubhouse.”

Winnipeg now has nine players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Relief Pitcher Cherry

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 18:02:03 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Monday the re-signing of right-handed relief pitcher Derrick Cherry .

Cherry was one of the most reliable arms out of the Goldeyes bullpen in 2025, appearing in 40 games while posting a 3-1 record with a 4.09 earned run average. He also recorded career highs in strikeouts (62) and innings pitched (66.0).

He made his professional debut in 2024 with the Rocky Mountain Vibes of the Pioneer League, where he appeared in 25 contests, including five starts. He compiled a 2-5 record with a 7.97 ERA and one save, based out of a very hitter-friendly ballpark in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The 25-year-old transferred to McNeese State University (Lake Charles, Louisiana) to finish his collegiate career in 2023 after three seasons at the University of Houston (Houston, Texas).

His overall college record was 7-8 with a 5.07 ERA and ten saves. The native of Baytown, Texas averaged just under a strikeout per inning pitched.

“Derrick is another huge re-signing for us,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “There were big portions of last season where he was probably our best reliever. He has a ton of upside for a young guy, and we are hoping he builds off what he accomplished last year.”

Winnipeg now has eight players under contract for the 2026 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins May 3.

“We are really excited to get Quinn on board,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins. “He’s a younger guy with electric stuff. Mid 90s from the left side is impressive, and he’s worked hard to develop the rest of his arsenal. I’m excited to see him pitch this summer.”

KANSAS CITY, KS – John Nogowski’s sacrifice fly with one out in the bottom of the 13th inning gave the Kansas City Monarchs (54-36) a 4-3 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes (37-52) at Legends Field Wednesday evening.

Boxscore

The defeat was the Goldeyes’ league-leading 23rd one-run loss of the season and the seventh time in nine tries they have fallen in extra innings.

Kansas City further extended the game in the bottom of the inning though. Jorge Bonifacio crossed the plate on a bloop single to centre off the bat of Nogowski that evened the score at 3-3.

Ben Kowalski started for the Goldeyes and went five innings. He allowed two runs on four hits while striking out four. Derrick Cherry , Ben Onyshko , Ryder Yakel , Henry Omaña , Tasker Strobel , and Trevor Brigden (L, 2-5) all appeared out of the bullpen for Winnipeg.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (36-47) won their third series out of the last four Thursday evening with a 7-6 victory over the Cleburne Railroaders (39-44) at Blue Cross Park.

Boxscore

The Goldeyes broke a scoreless tie by erupting for six runs in the third inning.

Then with two out, third baseman Ramón Bramasco singled to centre field, driving in Tripp Clark and Ray-Patrick Didder to make it 3-0.

Cleburne extended the lead in the sixth with a Peterson RBI groundout and a two-run single from Kwitzer for a 10-5 cushion.

The Goldeyes made one last push in the eighth. With the bases loaded, Ramón Bramasco delivered a three-run single to cut the gap to 10-8, but the comeback ended there.

James Bradwell (1-3) took the loss, allowing six runs on four hits over 2.1 innings. Nick Krauth (2-0) picked up the win in relief, while Kristian Scott recorded his fifth save.

Four Chosen to Represent Goldeyes at All-Star Game

Wed, 09 Jul 2025 21:43:53 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The American Association announced Tuesday that Winnipeg Goldeyes infielder Matthew Warkentin and outfielder Max Murphy were chosen as starters for the West Division squad at the league’s upcoming All-Star Game. Pitchers Tasker Strobel and Ryder Yakel were also selected as members of the West Division pitching staff.

In his first season with the Goldeyes, Warkentin has made his mark in his home country. The Windsor, Ontario native ranks first among all West Division first basemen in home runs (11) and RBI (36) while also recording a batting average of .290. The 28-year-old slugger joined the Goldeyes for the 2025 season after two

productive seasons with the Joliet Slammers of the Frontier League.

This is Murphy’s second All-Star nod as a member of the Goldeyes, previously being selected in 2023. Already a fixture in the franchise’s record books, Murphy found another page to fill in his fifth season with the team, as he became the Goldeyes’ all-time leader in home runs, surpassing Reggie Abercrombie by hitting his 93rd home run in a Goldeyes uniform. He has registered yet another productive start to the season, hitting .267 with nine home runs and 37 RBI.

Strobel is another two-time All-Star as a member of the Goldeyes, representing them in the 2022 game. A relief pitcher out of Avon, Indiana, Strobel has become a mainstay in the Goldeyes' bullpen for the past several seasons, and 2025 is no different. The 30-year-old has appeared in 24 games and has registered a 2.72 ERA and one save in 39.2 innings pitched.

Also out of the bullpen, Yakel receives his first All-Star nod as a professional. The second-year Goldeyes pitcher has been outstanding in 2025, appearing in 24 games while recording two saves and a 2.21 ERA. He acted as a Swiss-Army knife for the Goldeyes in 2024, splitting time as both starter and reliever when the team needed to find coverage for innings, and he did that and more whenever he was called on.

The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks will host this year’s All-Star Game in Fargo, North Dakota on July 22. Players were chosen by representatives of each club.

The Goldeyes’ series against the Sioux Falls Canaries continues Wednesday evening at 6:30 p.m. CDT at Blue Cross Park . Luke Boyd (1-5, 5.64 ERA) takes the mound for Winnipeg against Ryan Zimmerman (1-4, 11.48 ERA) for Sioux Falls.

CLEBURNE, TX – The Winnipeg Goldeyes opened the 2025 American Association season with a 6-5, ten-inning defeat at the hands of the Cleburne Railroaders (1-0) Thursday at La Moderna Field.

Box Score

On an overcast and breezy evening, Cleburne edged the Goldeyes (0-1) in a tight battle that saw both teams going back-and-forth from the second inning on.

Landen Bourassa took the Opening Day nod for the first time since pitching for the University of San Francisco and fired a six-inning quality start, allowing three runs on five hits, walking a batter and striking out four.

Kansas City Comes Back to Defeat Goldeyes in Preseason Finale

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 06 May 2025 22:12:05 GMT

KANSAS CITY, KS – The Kansas City Monarchs (2-0) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 5-2 in a preseason contest at Legends Field Tuesday afternoon. The game was called after the top of the eighth inning to prevent pitchers from exceeding their pitch counts.

The Goldeyes (1-4) took a 2-0 lead in the top of the third frame. First Jacob Robson brought home Andy Armstrong with a one-out single to right field, then Kevin García scored on a Max Murphy base hit to left. With Winnipeg rallying, the inning came to an early end owing to Kansas City starter Patrick Pridgen having thrown his allotment of pitches for the day.

The Monarchs got one of those runs back in the bottom of the inning Jesse Galindo – who started for the Goldeyes – uncorked a wild pitch allowing Jaylyn Williams to scamper home.

The home side took the lead in the sixth on a two-run single to left-centre field by Robbie Glendinning that drove in Ross Adolph and Jorge Bonifacio, giving Kansas City a 3-2 edge.

They would add two more in the bottom of the seventh when Álvaro González singled to centre plating Williams and Bonifacio drove in Adolph with a single to left field that made the score 5-2 Monarchs.

Mitchell Lambson , Derrick Cherry , and Tasker Strobel appeared in relief for the Goldeyes.

Winnipeg will open the 2025 regular season Thursday evening against the Railroaders in Cleburne, Texas. First pitch is scheduled for 7:06 p.m. CDT. Landen Bourassa (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his first Opening Day start for the Goldeyes, while fellow right-hander and former big leaguer Gabe Klobosits (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is expected to take the mound for Cleburne.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show live on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30. The video stream of all Goldeyes games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Early Offense Powers Monarchs to Victory Over Goldeyes

trevor@goldeyes.com (Trevor Curl) — Mon, 05 May 2025 04:19:44 GMT

KANSAS CITY, KS – The Winnipeg Goldeyes dropped the first of a two-game preseason set to the Kansas City Monarchs at Legends Field by a score of 6-1 Monday evening.

A warm spring evening mixed with the smell of new artificial turf was the right mixture for Kansas City’s offense. The Monarchs struck first in the bottom of the second inning. After Goldeyes starter Landon Leach walked the first two batters, former big leaguer Jorge Bonifacio blooped a shallow single into centre field to score Ross Adolf from third base to make it 1-0. Another walk would load the bases to set up a grand slam home run off the bat of third baseman Robbie Glendinning that give the Monarchs a 5-0 advantage. The inning would end due to Leach’s pitch count running high in the opening frame.

The Goldeyes answered in the top of the second. With two out and Evan Alexander on, having reached with a bunt single, Jake Guenther continued his hot spring with an opposite field double that cut the deficit to 5-1.

That score held until the bottom of the fourth inning when, after a leadoff double by Isiah Gilliam and ground ball that moved him to third base with two away, Lázaro Armenteros singled to left field to bring the runner home. The Monarchs regained their five-run cushion and never looked back.

The Goldeyes had multiple threats with runners in scoring position however, all were with two out and they couldn’t find the extra hit needed to score the runs.

Winnipeg will wrap up preseason play against the Monarchs Tuesday at 1:05 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca , with the Pre-Game Show starting at 12:55.

Croes Headed to Giants' Organization

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 20:49:58 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Wednesday that the contract of two-time American Association post-season All-Star Dayson Croes has been transferred to the San Francisco Giants.

Croes (pronounced KROOZ) becomes the 88th player in Goldeyes history to make the jump to the affiliated minor leagues.

The 25-year-old was named the league’s Rookie Position Player of the Year following the 2023 season and has represented the Goldeyes in the league’s All-Star Game in each of his two seasons as a professional.

Croes batted a team-leading .342 in 2024, with 22 doubles, five home runs, and 51 runs batted in. He also led the Goldeyes with 128 hits. Defensively, Croes played 41 games at second base and 44 at the hot corner. He committed just six errors in 267 fielding chances.

In 2023, the native of Noord, Aruba hit .351, good for fourth in the league, while his 135 hits were best in the 12-team-circuit. Croes has compiled a .347 career batting average with 118 RBIs in 187 career games.

Prior to joining the Goldeyes, the Croes spent three seasons at Quincy University (Quincy, Illinois) batting .388 with 20 home runs and 120 RBIs in 119 career games.

“I’m extremely happy for Dayson. This has been a long time coming and he deserves this,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “We would have loved to have him play for us again this year, but he’s proven that he’s ready for an opportunity in affiliated ball and I hope he takes it and runs with it.”

“The entire Goldeyes organization would like to congratulate Dayson and thank him for his two seasons in Winnipeg,” said General Manager Andrew Collier . “On and off the field, he’s just an outstanding person and it’s great to see his hard work and dedication rewarded.”

The Goldeyes announced two additional roster moves Wednesday, obtaining right-handed pitcher Jesse Galindo on loan from the Tigres de Quintana Roo of the Mexican Baseball League, and releasing right-handed pitcher Tylor Jans .

Galindo, a 27-year-old reliever, had appeared in only one game for Quintana Roo this season, after seeing action in 27 contests in 2024. He posted an 0-1 record with a 4.25 earned run average in 29.2 innings pitched.

Jans injured his throwing arm prior to the beginning of Spring Training and could join the club at a later date.

The team departed Blue Cross Park this morning for Fargo, North Dakota, where they will open their six-game preseason schedule this evening against the RedHawks at Newman Outdoor Field. Game time is 6:00 p.m. and Trevor Curl will be live on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 5:50.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Monday of multi-talented position player Ray-Patrick Didder , whose primary position is shortstop.

A native of Oranjestad, Aruba, Didder has twice been a recent teammate of Goldeyes All-Star Dayson Croes when the pair represented the Netherlands at the World Baseball Softball Confederation Premier12 tournament last November, and the Japan Series earlier this month.

After one year in the Los Angeles Angels’ organization, Didder was signed by the Miami Marlins prior to the 2022 season, and spent part of the year with the Class-AAA Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp of the International League.

The 30-year-old spent the last two campaigns in the San Diego Padres’ chain, splitting his time between the Class-AAA Pacific Coast League’s El Paso Chihuahuas and the Class-AA Texas League’s San Antonio Missions.

Although Didder only appeared at shortstop, second base, and third base in 2024, he has also played all three outfield positions over the course of his career.

In 11 seasons in the minor leagues, Didder has compiled a .235 batting average, with 133 doubles, 42 triples, 58 home runs, and 351 runs batted in. He has also swiped 241 bases.

Didder has also played professionally in Puerto Rico, Italy, and Mexico.

“Ray-Patrick is a big pick up for us,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “On top of having a very long impressive resumé, he is still playing at a high level this late in his career. He can play all over the field, hit for power, and steal bases. Also, being from Aruba and being friends with Dayson, I know he’s excited to get to Winnipeg and have a great season.”

Winnipeg now has 26 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Goldeyes Add Canadian Leach to Pitching Staff

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Thursday of right-handed pitcher and former Baseball Canada Junior National Team member Landon Leach .

A Toronto native, Leach becomes the fifth Canadian on the Goldeyes roster, joining fellow right-handed pitchers Landen Bourassa (Lethbridge, Alberta), Trevor Brigden (North York, Ontario), Tylor Jans (St. Albert, Alberta), and Will Sierra (Montréal, Québec).

Leach was selected by the Minnesota Twins in the second round of the 2017 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Pickering High School (Ajax, Ontario). He was the first Canadian taken in that year’s draft at 37th overall – 23 picks before the Baltimore Orioles chose former Goldeyes infielder Adam Hall .

The 25-year-old made his professional debut with the Twins’ entry in the Rookie-Class Gulf Coast League in 2017 and advanced as far as the Class-A Fort Myers Mighty Mussels of what was then known as the Low-A Southeast league in 2021.

Leach signed with the Atlanta Braves in 2022, pitching at three levels in their system, including Class-A Advanced with the South Atlantic League’s Rome Braves.

In four minor league seasons, Leach compiled a 5-8 record with a 4.46 earned run average in 41 appearances – 30 of which were starts.

After signing with the Frontier League’s Québec Capitales in 2023, Leach was injured during training camp and missed the entire season. He pitched last year for the Intercounty Baseball League’s Toronto Maple Leafs.

Leach represented Canada at the 2017 U-18 Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay, Ontario, where he was a teammate of Sierra’s.

“Landon is someone who appeared on our radar very recently,” said skipper Logan Watkins . “He’s dealt with injury the last few seasons so it will be interesting to see how he bounces back. If he can get to where he was before his injury, he could be a huge late addition for us.”

In another move, right-handed pitcher Aaron Shortridge , signed by the Goldeyes in January, has instead joined the Mexican Baseball League’s Leones de Yucatán.

Winnipeg now has 25 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Goldeyes Sign Rookie Southpaw Rose

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Fri, 07 Mar 2025 17:15:51 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Friday of left-handed relief pitcher Brady Rose .

Rose was selected by the New York Yankees in the 12th round of the 2023 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Dallas Baptist University (Dallas, Texas).

The 24-year-old made his professional debut in April 2024 with the Class-A Florida State League’s Tampa Tarpons, with whom he appeared in four contests and posted a 1-1 record with a 9.26 earned-run-average in 11.2 innings.

A native of Westminster, Colorado, Rose went 8-4 with a 3.42 ERA over two NCAA seasons, averaging 13.6 strikeouts per nine innings and 2.61 strikeouts per walk.

“Brady is a really good young power lefty we will use frequently out of the bullpen,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He was released by the Yankees but as I dug a little further, they had great things to say about him. He also went to Dallas Baptist University which is known to develop some very good pitchers. I’m excited to see what he can do for us this season.”

Winnipeg now has 25 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Wednesday of North York, Ontario native and former National Team member Trevor Brigden .

Brigden (pronounced BRIG-den) is a right-handed relief pitcher who has spent much of the past four seasons at the Class-AAA level with the International League’s Durham Bulls.

The 29-year-old was selected by the Tampa Bay Rays in the 17th round of the 2019 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Okanagan College (Kelowna, British Columbia). Bridgen made his professional debut later that year and pitched five seasons in the Rays’ system.

Brigden posted a 3-1 record with Durham in 2024, along with a 7.64 earned run average and one save. He appeared in 85 games for the Bulls from 2021-2024, going 8-6 with a 5.09 ERA and three saves.

Representing Canada at the 2023 World Baseball Classic, Brigden saw action in two contests, pitching an inning and one third of hitless relief while recording three strikeouts.

“Trevor will be one of our most experienced guys on the entire roster”, said skipper Logan Watkins . “He has a lot of Triple-A affiliated experience along with playing for the Canadian National Team so he will almost certainly be a huge part of our bullpen this season. Guys of his calibre are not easy to acquire so this is definitely one of the signings I hope the organization and fans are most excited about.”

Winnipeg now has 24 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Monday of right-handed relief pitcher Juan Echevarría .

Echevarría (pronounced etch-eh-va-REE-yuh) spent the last three seasons with the Milwaukee Milkmen. In 2024 he appeared in 10 games – including three starts – and posted a 1-0 record with a 13.70 earned run average.

The 27-year-old made his American Association debut in 2021 with the Chicago Dogs and his combined record in the league stands at 8-6 with a 5.80 ERA and five saves.

Echevarría was chosen by the Baltimore Orioles in the 21st round of the 2015 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Osceola High School (Kissimmee, Florida). He spent four seasons in their system, compiling an 11-5 record with a 4.40 ERA.

The native of Santurce, Puerto Rico reached the Class-A Advanced level with the Carolina League’s Frederick Keys in 2019.

“Juan is going to be exciting to watch this year,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He has spent time in affiliated ball and had some great years for Milwaukee in the American Association. Last season was a down year for him due to fatigue from all the innings he pitched in 2023. Once he had time to recover, he performed very well in winter ball. There's no substitute for experience and I think he will be a big addition to our pitching staff this season.”

Winnipeg now has 23 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday the signing of right-handed relief pitcher Marcel Rentería .

Rentería was selected by the New York Mets in the sixth round of the 2017 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, New Mexico) and played six seasons in their system.

The 30-year-old reached the Class-AAA level in 2021 with the Triple-A East League’s (now International League) Syracuse Mets. Rentería went 4-0 that season with a 9.00 earned run average in 14 appearances, all out of the bullpen.

Rentería last pitched in 2023 with the Class-AA Eastern League’s Binghamton Rumble Ponies, where he posted a 1-1 record with one save and a 3.54 ERA in 19 games.

The native of Nogales, Arizona has gone 12-12 with a 5.22 ERA in 101 professional appearances. He has averaged 1.07 strikeouts per inning pitched and a strikeout to walk ratio of 2.40.

Rentería was a starter in college, where he went 12-7 with a 4.82 ERA in 32 games over two seasons.

“Marcel is a big signing for us. He is an experienced arm who climbed up high in affiliated ball,” said Goldeyes field boss Logan Watkins . “Unfortunately for him – but fortunately for us – he is coming back from injury which made it possible for us to sign him. I know he's excited to prove that he's healthy and he's as motivated as ever. He is a guy who can start or relieve and someone we will lean on in 2025.”

Winnipeg now has 22 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Promising Reliever Cherry Signs for 2025

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 18:57:03 GMT

Photo Credit: Leighton Chamblee/McNeese State University Athletics

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Wednesday of right-handed relief pitcher Derrick Cherry .

Cherry made his professional debut in 2024 with the Rocky Mountain Vibes of the Frontier League, where he appeared in 25 contests, including five starts. He compiled a 2-5 record with a 7.97 earned run average and one save, based out of a very hitter-friendly ballpark in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The 24-year-old transferred to McNeese State University (Lake Charles, Louisiana) for the 2023 season after three seasons at the University of Houston (Houston, Texas).

His overall college record was 7-8 with a 5.07 ERA and ten saves. The native of Baytown, Texas averaged just under a strikeout per inning pitched.

“Derrick is someone I've been following for a few years now,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He's got incredible ability as a pitcher and has a really high ceiling. He's worked very hard this off season and I think once he gets with (pitching coach) Mark Brewer he can keep climbing towards what he is capable of. Between Derrick, Will Sierra , and Tylor Jans , I think we have three young rookies with a lot of potential and could be the difference in how good our bullpen is this season.”

Winnipeg now has 21 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday the signing of Canadian rookie relief pitcher Tylor Jans .

The St. Albert, Alberta native played in 32 games, compiling a 3-3 record with a 2.68 earned run average and six saves. Jans has averaged 1.21 strikeouts per inning pitched and his strikeout to walk ratio is 3.39.

After a season at Cloud County Community College (Concordia, Kansas) Jans attended the University of Louisiana Monroe (Monroe, Louisiana) from 2021 to 2022. With the Warhawks, the 25-year-old went 3-4 in 26 appearances, with a 5.29 ERA.

“Much like Will Sierra , we found Tylor through networking and watching training videos which showed how much talent and potential he has,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “He will also be making his professional debut with the Goldeyes, and I know he's excited for this opportunity. We will have a bit of a younger pitching staff this season, but it will feature guys with massive amounts of potential. I am excited to see how he performs this year.”

Winnipeg now has 20 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Field of Dreams Foundation Announces Funding to 48 Manitoba Charities

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 11 Feb 2025 17:34:07 GMT

During the 2024 calendar year, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation raised and distributed more than $100,000 in support of 48 registered children’s charities (complete list of recipients below) through generous contributions from Manitobans across the province.

Among this year’s funding recipients is the Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation, which is a charity dedicated to helping children and youth live as independently as possible. They are the fundraising entity for the Rehabilitation Centre for Children – an outpatient facility providing services and outreach therapy in support of children and youth realizing their potential and participating fully in their communities.

“Youth living with varying abilities require our support to discover their potential and participate in their communities. This generous grant from the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation is going to be life-altering for two siblings who are on Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation’s specialized equipment waitlist. We are so grateful for this contribution and look forward to watching these young sisters flourish on their new mobility devices.”

– Jane Kidd-Hantscher , Executive Director of Children’s Rehabilitation Foundation.

Toba Centre for Children & Youth is a charitable organization that coordinates a collaborative approach to child abuse investigation and response. Toba Centre provides a space where children and families can find comfort, healing, and access to the resources they need when they’ve been impacted by abuse or witnessed violence. It is our vision that every victim of child abuse, and every child witness to violence, is heard, helped, and healed.

“We are truly grateful for the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation’s support of our hotel care packages. Toba Centre serves all of Manitoba and we often see children come from out of town with very little. This support will provide families with much-needed hotel care packages containing pajamas and a change of clothes, toiletries, food, games, and activities. During an unimaginable time in their young lives, ensuring kids have these comforts can make a big difference in their healing journey.”

– Christy Dzikowicz , Chief Executive Officer of Toba Centre for Children & Youth

The Movement Centre of Manitoba is a privately funded registered charity and the only one of its kind in Manitoba that specializes in conductive education rehabilitation and therapy for children and adults living with neuromotor disorders. The Movement Centre is committed to serving Manitobans living with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, acquired brain injury, developmental delays, spina bifida and Parkinson’s disease.

“Thank you for helping kids and adults with neurological disabilities live their best lives! We are so grateful for the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation support which will directly impact hundreds of Manitobans and their families.”

– Jennifer Wojcik , Executive Director of the Movement Centre of Manitoba

“Because the Movement Centre receives no government funding and relies solely on donations, fundraising and grants, the Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation’s support means that much more. Thank you for sharing our vision of equal opportunity for all to live fully and be included in meaningful activities in all areas of life and community.”

– Tim Steadman , Board Co-Chair of the Movement Centre of Manitoba

“The foundation is thrilled to once again be able to support so many incredible children’s charities that are making a real difference in Manitobans’ lives,” said Tony Fletcher , President of the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation. “None of this would be possible without the generosity of our fans and corporate partners, whose unwavering support allows us to give back year after year.”

Since its inception in 1995, the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation has raised and distributed more than $3 Million to children’s charities in Manitoba. Revenue sources include the Field of Dreams Foundation annual golf tournament, fan donations, the Fillmore Riley LLP Ks for Kids program, the Sonia’s Stand Radar Pitching Booth, memorabilia auctions, and the sale of 50/50 tickets during home games at Blue Cross Park.

Shortstop Armstrong Back With Goldeyes

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 18:03:17 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Monday that shortstop Andy Armstrong would be returning for a third season with the club.

Armstrong hit .241 in 2024, with 14 doubles, two home runs, and 39 runs batted in. He committed just eight errors in 336 total chances for a fielding percentage of .976.

The 27-year-old hit .261 for the Goldeyes in 2023, with 19 doubles and 32 RBIs. He also set an American Association single-season record with 23 sacrifice bunts.

The native of Coos, Bay, Oregon was originally acquired via a trade with the Frontier League’s Evansville Otters on March 6, 2023. Armstrong spent the 2022 campaign with Evansville after making his professional debut with the Ogden Raptors of the Pioneer League in 2021. He has compiled a .250 batting average with six home runs and 123 RBIs over his first four seasons as a pro.

Armstrong played five seasons at Oregon State University (Corvallis, Oregon) where he won an NCAA Division I National Championship in 2018.

“Every pitcher on our team should be very excited that Andy is coming back,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins. “He’s without a doubt the best defensive shortstop in the league and he was a huge reason our pitching statistics were as good as they were last year. I know myself and the rest of the organization are happy to see him back and help us continue to build a championship roster.”

Winnipeg now has 19 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Versatile Fielder Lynch

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Fri, 07 Feb 2025 16:27:45 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced Friday the re-signing of infielder Keshawn Lynch .

Lynch (first name pronounced KEE-shawn) played in 69 games for the club in 2024, batting .203 with six doubles, one triple, two home runs, and 26 runs batted in. Defensively, he spent time at five different positions (second base, third base, shortstop, left field, and centre field), committing just two errors in 159 total chances.

The 28-year-old played for Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins in 2023 with the Cleburne Railroaders. Lynch appeared in 17 games, hitting .212 with three runs batted in and 11 runs scored.

The native of Lake Hamilton, Florida reached the Class-A level with the Kane County Cougars – then of the Midwest League – in 2019.

Lynch has compiled a career .230 batting average with 43 doubles, six triples, six home runs, and 106 RBIs in 313 games.

“Keshawn was everyone’s favourite guy on the team last season,” said Watkins. “He brings energy everyday and keeps the clubhouse atmosphere where it needs to be.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Wednesday of former Baseball Canada Junior National Team member Will Sierra .

Sierra was chosen by the New York Mets in the 28th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Polyvalente Édouard-Montpetit (Montréal, Québec) but chose not to sign. He was listed as Baseball America magazine’s 12th best high school player in Canada that year.

The 25-year-old was a member of the junior national team from 2015-17 and represented Canada at the 2017 U-18 Baseball World Cup in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Sierra went on to attend Chipola College (Marianna, Florida), Yavapai College (Prescott, Arizona), Washington State University (Pullman, Washington), and New Mexico State University (Las Cruces, New Mexico).

Over the 2021 and 2022 seasons with Washington State, Sierra appeared in 27 contests – mostly in relief. He compiled a 3-2 record and a 5.60 earned-run-average with one save.

The Montréal, Québec native will make his professional debut with the Goldeyes and would become the 77th Canadian to play for the club since its inception in 1994, and the sixth Quebecer.

“Will is a young guy with a live arm,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “We were made aware of him after his performance at a Tread Athletics workout. Once we saw video, we decided to make him a priority to be one of our young arms this year. Guys with good stuff are hard to find and if he can grow with the help of (pitching coach) Mark Brewer this year, he’s fully capable of competing in this league.”

Winnipeg now has 17 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Catcher García

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 18:02:38 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Monday of catcher Kevin García .

García saw action in 39 contests in 2024, hitting .188 with six doubles, one home run, and nine runs batted in.

The 32-year-old rejoined the Goldeyes last year after spending the previous three seasons in the Mexican League with the Pericos de Puebla, the Acereros de Monclova, and the Aguila de Veracruz.

García played 127 games for Winnipeg over the 2018 and 2019 seasons, combing for a .246 batting average with 18 doubles, five home runs, and 51 RBIs. His 2018 campaign was cut short by a knee injury suffered June 30 – at a time when he had thrown out a league-leading 50% of the baserunners attempting to steal against him.

In four seasons in the affiliated minors, García hit .250 with two home runs and 54 RBIs. In addition to catching, he has played all four infield positions in his career.

“We’re excited to get Kevin back,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He has a long history with the organization and is a good veteran presence in the clubhouse. We will look for him to be a leader and hopefully have a strong and healthy season for us.”

Winnipeg now has 16 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the signing Wednesday of right-handed starting pitcher Aaron Shortridge .

Shortridge was chosen by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the fourth round of the 2018 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of the University of California, Berkeley (Berkeley, California). He played five seasons in their system, reaching the Class-AAA level on two occasions.

The 27-year-old spent the majority of last season with the Class-AAA International League’s Indianapolis Indians, where he posted a 3-4 record with a 5.18 earned run average in 12 appearances.

In 2023, Shortridge went 11-8 in 27 starts for the Class-AA Eastern League’s Altoona Curve, with a pair of complete games.

The native of Santa Rosa, California has compiled a career record of 28-23 with a 4.07 ERA in 96 games (87 starts). His strikeouts per nine innings rate is 7.6 and his strikeout to walk ratio is 2.65.

“This is a big pickup for us,” said manager Logan Watkins . “Aaron has shown throughout his career that he’s a highly successful starting pitcher. He’s played at the higher affiliated levels and has always been effective. He will only strengthen what is already a solid starting rotation.”

Winnipeg now has 15 players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

“It’s great news that Roby is back for us this season,” said field manager Logan Watkins . “On top of being a versatile defender he gave us consistent quality and competitive at-bats last season.

The 29-year-old pitched much of the 2021, 2022, and 2023 seasons with the Dodgers’ Class-AAA Pacific Coast League affiliate at Oklahoma City, where he appeared in 58 games – all but one in relief – and compiled a 1-0 record with a 3.99 ERA.

“Marshall reported to us late last season due to an off-season injury he was dealing with,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “In his short time with us he was nothing short of dominant before he got a very good offer to go to Mexico. I’m excited to have him back and hopefully we get him for a longer period. He’s got the potential to be one of the best starting pitchers in the entire league.”

Winnipeg now has five players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Infielder Arroyo Returning to Goldeyes for 2025

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Mon, 02 Dec 2024 16:55:13 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes have re-signed infielder Edwin Arroyo for the 2025 American Association season, the club announced Monday.

Arroyo joined in the Goldeyes in late July and hit .213 with three doubles, one home run, 13 runs batted in, and 10 stolen bases in 27 regular season games. The 33-year-old’s impact was truly felt in the postseason, when he posted a .376 batting average with eight RBIs. He smacked a pair of clutch three-run home runs in games two and three of the Goldeyes’ opening round series against the Sioux Falls Canaries.

Arroyo is no stranger to Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . Prior to missing the 2023 campaign due to injury, he spent the 2022 season with the Cleburne Railroaders team piloted by Watkins.

In 87 games in 2022, Arroyo hit .316 with 17 doubles, four triples, five home runs, 41 runs batted in, and 15 stolen bases. He was among the league leaders with a .434 on-base percentage.

A native of Trujillo Alto, Puerto Rico, Arroyo played three seasons for the Chicago Dogs between 2018 and 2020. He hit a combined .306 with 51 doubles and 113 RBIs for Chicago and earned a post-season All-Star nod in 2020.

“It was a no-brainer to get Edwin back,” said Watkins. It took a while for him to join us last season and it took some time to get his rhythm going offensively but it can’t be denied how big of an impact he had in the playoffs. Edwin is a true veteran who plays the game the right way is a valuable asset to a championship-style team.”

Winnipeg now has four players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

Goldeyes Re-Sign Speedy Outfielder Alexander

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 19:15:01 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes announced the re-signing Tuesday of outfielder Evan Alexander .

Claimed off waivers from the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks August 25, Alexander appeared in five regular season games for the Goldeyes last season, in addition to five postseason contests. Overall, the 26-year-old batted .227 with 15 doubles, three triples, and nine home runs. He drove in 45 runs and swiped 17 bases.

Alexander was chosen by the New York Yankees in the 19th round of the 2016 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of Hebron High School (Carrollton, Texas). He spent six seasons in the Yankees’ system, reaching the Class-AAA level in 2022.

The native of Frisco, Texas signed with Fargo-Moorhead midway through 2022 and spent the better part of three seasons with the RedHawks.

“Evan was a very important late addition to the team last season and he immediately fit right in,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “He brings a great blend of power and speed and has the ability to give us a jolt when we need it. He’s motivated to come back and make a huge impact for us this season and I am excited to see how he plays.”

Winnipeg now has three players under contract for the 2025 season. American Association clubs may carry up to 33 players during spring training, which begins April 26.

I’m excited to have him back and to see him build off his success last season.”

Cougars Defeat Goldeyes to Win Championship

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 03:22:54 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes’ season came to an end Tuesday night, as the Kane County Cougars (7-0) completed the series sweep, winning 5-3 and capturing the Miles Wolff Cup as champions of the American Association.

Box Score

It was a back-and-forth affair, with the Goldeyes (4-5) fighting back after going down early, but it just wasn’t enough as the Cougars captured the league title without losing a game in the postseason.

After the Goldeyes tied it in the sixth, the deadlock was broken by the Cougars in the top of the seventh, as jumped back out in front with an Allen single that scored Randolph from third to make it 4-3. They added another run a batter later as Alex McGarry singled to left to score Lott to make it 5-3, which was eventually the final.

The Cougars opened the scoring in the second inning, making it 1-0 on a bouncing single by Claudio Finol that made its way into short left field, scoring Josh Allen from second base.

They added to that lead just two batters later, as Galli Cribbs Jr. slapped a single into center field to bring Finol in from third base to make it 2-0.

The Goldeyes struck back in the fourth inning, as a Dayson Croes double got past a stumbling center fielder, scoring Ramón Bramasco from first base to cut the lead to 2-1.

Kane County regained their two-run lead in the fifth inning, as Cornelius Randolph doubled and came around on a second consecutive double by Todd Lott to make it 3-1 Cougars.

Winnipeg cut into the lead again in the fifth, as Rob Emery came around to score on a throwing error by the Kane County shortstop that sailed over the head of the first baseman to make it 3-2.

The Goldeyes continued to chip away and finally tie the game up 3-3 thanks to an Emery squeeze bunt down the first base line to score Miles Simington from third.

After going up 5-3 in the eighth, Tyler Beardsley (S, 4) came on in the ninth to shutdown the Goldeyes’ comeback attempt after Winnipeg brought the tying run to the plate.

Cougars’ reliever CJ Carter (W, 1-0) picked up the win after coming on in the sixth inning. He didn’t allow a run in a hitless inning-and-two-thirds.

Zac Reininger (L, 0-1) was charged with the loss after allowing two runs on three hits over his two innings of work in relief.

The Goldeyes came up three wins short of the ultimate turnaround from last year’s 43-56 last place finish, and while it’s hardly the finish they wanted, it’s hard not to be impressed with the turnaround. A worst-to-first story, culminating in Winnipeg’s first division championship and final berth since 2017.

Now, the focus shifts to the offseason, as the American Association crowned a new champion in 2024, the Kane County Cougars, who won their first Miles Wolff Cup since joining the American Association in 2021.

Collier Honoured as Executive of the Year

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 19:15:26 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – Winnipeg Goldeyes General Manager Andrew Collier has been named American Association Executive of the Year, the league announced Monday.

The 2024 season marks Collier’s 23rd as the club’s General Manager. He previously won the award in 2014 in the American Association and 2002, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2009 in the Northern League.

Collier was inducted into the Manitoba Baseball of Fame as a Builder in 2018.

After graduating from the University of Manitoba with a Bachelor of Commerce, Collier joined the Goldeyes’ ticket department during the team’s inaugural season in 1994. Collier gradually climbed the front office ladder before reaching his current position in December 2001.

He is also the Treasurer and an original board member of the Winnipeg Goldeyes Field of Dreams Foundation. Established in 1995, the foundation has donated close than three million dollars to children’s charities in Manitoba since its inception.

Off the field in 2024 the Goldeyes drew an average 3,714 fans to Blue Cross Park, erected a spectacular new high definition video board, and constructed two new hospitality spaces in left field.

Collier was chosen by team Directors, General Managers, and media personnel.

“Andrew has been with the Goldeyes for 31 seasons and during that time he has performed too many tasks in too many departments to mention,” said Goldeyes President and Chief Executive Officer Sam Katz . “Andrew knows that you are only as good as the staff that surrounds you, and he surrounds himself with the best. You will not find a General Manager more deserving of this honour than Andrew. Congratulations and thank you!”

Winnipeg trails the Kane County Cougars in the best-of-five Miles Wolff Cup Final, with game three scheduled for Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. CDT at Blue Cross Park. Travis Seabrooke (0-0, 3.86 ERA) will start for the Goldeyes while fellow lefty Tommy Sommer (0-0, 0.00) will take the mound for Kane County.

GENEVA, IL – A bloop single to right field in the bottom of the fourth inning drove in the game’s only run as the Kane County Cougars (6-0) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 1-0 in game two of the Miles Wolff Cup Final at Northwestern Medicine Field Sunday afternoon.

Box Score

With two out in the inning, left fielder Cornelius Randolph singled, stole second, and scored on designated hitter Todd Lott’s base hit. Kane County now leads the best-of-five series two games to none.

Winnipeg (4-4) did not record a hit until the ninth inning but managed to load the bases before right fielder Miles Simington grounded into a 1-2-3 double play to end the ballgame.

GENEVA, IL – Cornelius Randolph’s single with none out in the bottom of the 11th inning gave the Kane County Cougars (5-0) a 2-1 win over the Winnipeg Goldeyes in game one of the Miles Wolff Cup Final at Northwestern Medicine Field Saturday evening.

Box Score

The Kane County left fielder hit an 0-2 pitch from Ben Onyshko (L, 0-1) up the middle to bring home right fielder Armond Upshaw from second base and end the ballgame.

The Cougars were one out away from winning the contest in the top of the ninth, only to see Winnipeg (4-3) third baseman Dayson Croes tie the score at 1-1 with a double to right-centre field that drove in pinch runner Evan Alexander all the way from first.

Kane County had opened the scoring in their first at-bat when Upshaw came in on Randolph’s sacrifice fly to left field.

What was advertised as a marquee matchup between two of the top pitchers in the American Association certainly delivered. Goldeyes starter Joey Matulovich did not allow an earned run in six innings of work and gave up just two hits. He struck out five and walked two.

The Cougars’ Greg Mahle went seven scoreless innings and surrendered only four hits. Vin Timpanelli (W, 1-0), who was the fifth Kane County pitcher of the game, recorded the final two outs of the top of the 11th to earn the win.

Tasker Strobel , Thomas Ponticelli , and Joey Steele also came out of the bullpen for Winnipeg.

The Goldeyes outhit the Cougars eight to six, with Croes and left fielder Miles Simington each recording a pair. Winnipeg did have their chances, leaving ten runners on base.

Game two of the best-of-five series is scheduled for Sunday at 1:00 p.m. CDT in Geneva. Landen Bourassa (0-0, 7.36 ERA) will make his second start of the postseason for the Goldeyes, while fellow right-hander Jack Fox (0-0, 0.00 ERA) is expected to take the mound for Kane County.

Goldeyes Advance to Miles Wolff Cup Finals

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 12:40:05 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (4-2) won game three of the American Association West Division Championship series 3-1 over the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks Thursday evening at Blue Cross Park, advancing to the Miles Wolff Cup Finals.

Box Score

After a what was a pitchers’ duel for the entire game, the Goldeyes set off some fireworks in the eighth inning to seal the victory and allow Winnipeg to march onto the championship series.

Winnipeg first baseman Jake McMurray hit the biggest home run of the season so far, smacking a 362-foot bomb to left field to provide the Goldeyes with some much-needed insurance in the eighth inning, putting them up 3-1.

This came after a fairly quiet offensive game, with both teams scoreless through four innings.

The Goldeyes opened the scoring in that fourth inning, as Miles Simington came in to score on a Rob Emery squeeze bunt down the line to make it 1-0.

The lead was short lived, as RedHawks third baseman Michael Hallquist crushed the first pitch he saw in the fifth to left field to tie things up.

Fighting back again, Winnipeg regained the lead in the fifth inning thanks to yet another big base hit from Edwin Arroyo , this time bringing Andy Armstrong around from second on a single to centre field.

It continued a torrid start for the Goldeyes’ second baseman, who has now accumulated eight runs batted in in six games.

After McMurray’s home run in the eighth, the Blue Cross Park faithful was on their feet as the Goldeyes’ bullpen took control and didn’t allow a run over three-and-a-third innings.

Winnipegger Ben Onyshko (S, 1) shut the door in the ninth inning, picking up his first save of the 2024 postseason.

Mitchell Lambson (W, 2-0) got the start and was absolutely spectacular for the Goldeyes. The veteran lefty went six-and-two-thirds, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out 11.

RedHawks’ starter Nile Ball (L, 0-1) took the loss, allowing two runs on three hits over four-and-a-third.

Winnipeg now moves on to face the Kane County Cougars in a battle for the Miles Wolff Cup, beginning on Saturday, September 14 at 6:30 p.m. CDT in Geneva, Illinois. The series opener will feature a marquee pitching matchup between Goldeyes ace Joey Matulovich (1-1, 3.60 ERA) and Kane County lefty Greg Mahle (2-0, 1.58 ERA).

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The video stream of all post-season games will be available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Brookshaw led off the sixth with a home run to right that cut the Goldeyes’ lead to one.

Watkins Chosen as Manager of the Year

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 19:00:00 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – First-year Winnipeg Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins was named American Association Manager of the Year Tuesday after piloting the club to a 56-43 record and first place in the West Division.

The Goldeyes, who finished in last place in 2023, secured the 21st playoff appearance in franchise history under Watkins, and ended the season with a winning record for the 25th time in 31 seasons.

“Logan is a very special and unique manager and is definitely deserving of this honour,” said Goldeyes President Sam Katz . “Being as young as he is, he can relate to the players and has their respect since he played in both the Major Leagues and the American Association. He is a very decisive individual who does not procrastinate when it comes time to make a difficult choice. Every decision he makes on and off the field is to give the Goldeyes the best chance to win, and his players know and respect that”

Watkins, a former Chicago Cubs infielder was introduced as the fifth field manager in club history November 1, 2023 after spending the previous two-plus seasons in the same role with the Cleburne Railroaders, where he qualified for the post-season three times. Originally hired as the Railroaders’ hitting coach in 2021, the 35-year-old assumed the title of interim manager in June of that year.

Chosen as the Cubs’ minor league player of the year in 2012, the native of Wichita, Kansas made his Major League debut August 4, 2013 at Wrigley Field against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Watkins went on to appear in 58 games at the big-league level, recording 24 hits – including one home run – and six runs batted in.

Drafted out of Goddard High School (Goddard, Kansas) by the Cubs in 2008, Watkins played 11 professional seasons, during which he notched 1,034 hits en route to a .276 career batting average.

As a member of the now-defunct Wichita Wingnuts in 2018, Watkins was selected as an American Association Post-Season All-Star, hitting .338 with a league-high 11 triples.

“Logan put in so many hours over the winter in order to assemble the team and coaching staff we have this season,” said General Manager Andrew Collier . “I am thrilled that he has won this award.”

The Goldeyes currently hold a 1-0 lead over the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in the West Division Championship Series, which continues at Blue Cross Park Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Right-hander Zac Reininger (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will take the mound for the Goldeyes, with Colten Davis (0-1, 1.42 ERA) expected to start for Fargo-Moorhead.

Tickets are on sale now at Goldeyes.com/Tickets and the Goldeyes Ticket Office from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If necessary, game three would also take place in Winnipeg Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (55-41) inched closer to their first division title in seven years with a 12-4 victory over the Lincoln Saltdogs Friday evening at Blue Cross Park.

Box Score

With three games remaining on the American Association schedule, the Goldeyes sit atop the West Division standings, a game ahead of the Sioux Falls Canaries.

Right fielder Miles Simington gave Winnipeg an early 3-0 lead with 410-foot, three-run blast to right with one out in the bottom of the first inning.

The Goldeyes added two more in the second. First baseman Ramón Bramasco singled to centre field to bring in catcher Kevin García. Then, designated hitter Max Murphy drew a bases-loaded walk that forced shortstop Andy Armstrong home.

With two down in the fourth inning, Simington belted his second four-bagger of the game and seventh of the campaign. It was a two-run shot to right and it made the score 7-0 Winnipeg. Simington was two of five at the plate with five runs batted in.

Lincoln (36-61) got a run back in the top of the fifth when centre fielder Kyle Battle hit a one-out solo home run down the left field line.

In the bottom of the sixth inning Murphy hit the Goldeyes’ third long ball of the game – a three-run bomb to left-centre field that gave Winnipeg a 10-1 lead.

A seventh inning single by Bramasco brought in second baseman Edwin Arroyo to make it 11-1. Bramasco went four for five with two RBIs. Four pitches later, Armstrong came home on a wild pitch to score Winnipeg’s final run of the ballgame.

The Saltdogs scratched out three runs over the final two frames to round out the scoring. In the eighth, third baseman Luke Roskam drove in catcher and Midhurst, Ontario native Max Hewitt with a sacrifice fly to left. This was followed by a double to left field by designated hitter Matt Pita that brought former Goldeyes second baseman Dakota Conners in to score.

Another sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning, this one off the bat of Battle, allowed first baseman Dalton Reeves to round out the scoring.

Mitchell Lambson (W, 2-0) started for Winnipeg and worked seven innings. He allowed one run on only four hits while fanning seven.

Goldeyes Sweep RailCats, Win Fifth Straight

Wed, 28 Aug 2024 12:12:47 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (54-41) completed the sweep of their three-game set over the Gary SouthShore RailCats, defeating them 8-4 at Blue Cross Park on Wednesday evening.

Box Score

Riding a three-run fourth inning, the Goldeyes’ victory over the RailCats (30-66) was their fifth in a row to maintain their lead atop the American Association West Division.

It was not an ideal start for the home squad, falling behind just two batters into the game. RailCats’ second baseman Gio Díaz slapped a single to left field to score leadoff man Howard Rodríguez to open up a 1-0 lead.

The Goldeyes tied the game in the first after an Evan Alexander single scored Rob Emery from third.

They jumped ahead 2-1 in the next inning as a Ramón Bramasco sacrifice fly to centre field scored Jake McMurray .

Continuing the back-and-forth nature of the first few innings, Gary SouthShore bounced back and added two of their own in the third to make it 3-2.

The game shifted in the Goldeyes favour after that, as two multi-run innings in the third and fourth helped them to build a sizable lead.

In the third, a McMurray two-run triple cleared the bases and made it 4-3, scoring Alexander and Dayson Croes on a ball that ended up in the visitor’s bullpen down the right field line.

The next inning, Winnipeg brought three more around to open up a four-run gap. After loading the bases, Croes delivered a bases-clearing double that scored Bramasco, Emery, and Miles Simington to make it 7-3.

Another Goldeyes’ run came across in the seventh inning, as Alexander came in on a wild pitch to make it 8-3. Alexander had his best game since joining Winnipeg on August 25 after being claimed off waivers from the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks. He finished a home run shy of the cycle with an RBI.

The RailCats added a run in the eighth inning, but could not get any closer as the Goldeyes finished them off in the ninth to complete the sweep.

Travis Seabrooke (W, 8-3) started and picked up the win. The big lefty went 5.2 innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out nine.

Destin Dotson (L, 0-1) was tagged with the loss after giving up two runs on three hits over just two thirds of an inning.

The Goldeyes open the final series of the 2024 regular season as the Lincoln Saltdogs come to town for a four-game set beginning Friday at 7:00 p.m. CDT at Blue Cross Park. One lucky fan will win a trip to Jamaica, and be sure to stick around for our final spectacular fireworks show of the season.

Winnipeg is expected to send Mitchell Lambson (1-0, 6.11 ERA) to the mound. Lincoln has not announced their starter for the opener.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30 p.m. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

After the first four innings were scoreless, the Goldeyes took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth when designated hitter Miles Simington came home on left fielder Evan Alexander ’s sacrifice fly to left.

Winnipeg added two more runs in the sixth inning. First, Simington doubled to right field to bring in second baseman Edwin Arroyo . It was Simington’s 32nd two-bagger of the season, tying him for league lead. Simington scored when the next batter, catcher Rob Emery , singled to centre field.

Gary SouthShore (30-65) ended the Goldeyes’ bid for their league-best 12th shutout of the season with one out in the top of the ninth inning. Right fielder LG Castillo scored on designated hitter Kenny Levari’s groundout to second base.

Goldeyes’ starter Landen Bourassa (W, 8-6) pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing eight hits and striking out nine. The Lethbridge, Alberta native has won 29 games in a Goldeyes uniform, dating back to the 2021 campaign.

Winnipeger Ben Onyshko worked the eighth inning and retired the side in order. Oakville, Ontario’s Nick Trogrlic-Iverson (S, 6) was Winnipeg’s third Canadian pitcher of the evening. He gave up a run on one hit.

FARGO, ND – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (49-40) lost a close affair Thursday evening, dropping the series finale to the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 4-3 at Newman Outdoor Field.

Box Score

After leading early, the Goldeyes missed opportunities to keep pace with the RedHawks (49-41), as they lost the series and fall a full game back of first place in the West Division.

The Goldeyes opened up the scoring in the fourth inning after a few quiet innings. They made it 1-0 on a sacrifice fly to right field by Dayson Croes . That was followed by another sacrifice fly, this time by Nick Anderson , as he sent one to left that was deep enough to score Miles Simington to make it 2-0.

The RedHawks struck back in the bottom half, adding a run on a tough play that initially looked like an out. Keshawn Lynch made an incredible play at third to pick a tough hop then throw over to first, but Fargo-Moorhead first baseman Marcus Chiu was called safe. Ismael Alcántara came around to score on the play to make it 2-1.

Fargo-Moorhead turned the game in their favour in the fifth inning, bringing two runs around to score to take the lead.

The tying run came in on an Alec Olund single that was nearly caught by a diving Goldeyes’ right fielder Roby Enríquez . Just one batter later, Alcántara slapped a single to center to bring another run home to take a 3-2 lead.

Another RedHawks run came into score in the seventh inning, with Olund coming through again with a single to center that scored Sam Dexter to make it 4-2.

Winnipeg scored a run in the ninth as Edwin Arroyo came around on a double play, but that was the closest the Goldeyes got to tying the game.

Brett García (W, 1-2) got the win for the RedHawks, throwing two shutout innings and allowing just one hit.

Landen Bourassa (L, 7-6) was charged with the loss after throwing 4.2 innings while allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits.

Alex DuBord (S, 16) had somewhat of a shaky ninth inning, but eventually got out of the jam to pick up his 16th save of the season.

The Goldeyes head south to Kansas City, Kansas to face the Monarchs at 6:35 p.m. CDT Friday. Winnipeg will send big lefty Travis Seabrooke (7-2, 3.49 ERA) to the mound, while Kansas City is expected to counter with Duncan Snider (2-6, 5.68 ERA).

FARGO, ND – Winnipeg Goldeyes (49-38) starter Joey Matulovich and two relievers combined to blank the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 4-0 at Newman Outdoor Field Wednesday evening. The win halted a four-game slide for the Goldeyes, and it was also their league-best 11th shutout of the season.

Box Score

With the victory, Winnipeg kept pace with the Sioux Falls Canaries, who swept a doubleheader against the Lincoln Saltdogs. The Goldeyes trail Sioux Falls by just a half-game in the West Division standings, with Fargo-Moorhead (48-41) two games back of the Canaries in third place.

Matulovich (W, 11-3) lowered his earned run average to 2.15 with a nine-strikeout performance. The right-hander is tops in the American Association in both of those categories, while his 11 wins are tied for the league lead. Matulovich went seven innings and gave up just six hits.

Thomas Ponticelli and Nick Trogrlic-Iverson each worked an inning of relief.

The Goldeyes hit three home runs. Third baseman Dayson Croes and right fielder Max Murphy went back-to-back with two out in the top of the third inning, while centre fielder Nick Anderson led off the eighth with his eighth of the campaign.

FARGO, ND – The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (48-40) eked out a 9-8 victory over the Winnipeg Goldeyes at Newman Outdoor Field Tuesday evening in the opener of a crucial three-game series between the clubs.

Box Score

The loss dropped the Goldeyes (48-39) into second place in the West Division standings, one percentage point behind idle Sioux Falls. Fargo-Moorhead is now just a half-game out of the lead, in third place.

With the potential tying run at second in the top of the ninth inning, first baseman Jake McMurray grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the ballgame. Moments earlier, Winnipeg had pulled to within one after third baseman Dayson Croes won a ten-pitch battle with RedHawks’ closer Alex DuBord (S, 15), bouncing an infield single that scored left fielder Miles Simington .

The Goldeyes trailed 8-4 after five innings but crossed the plate three times in the top of the sixth to reduce the deficit to one.

Both teams were forced to go to the bullpen early, with Fargo-Moorhead starter Colten Davis exiting in the third inning, and Winnipeg’s Zac Reininger (L, 8-5) not making it out of the fifth.

The teams combined for 30 hits, with every starter in the Goldeyes’ lineup recording at least one.

Reininger allowed eight runs – all earned – on 12 hits. Cade Torgerson (W, 1-2), the first of five RedHawks relievers, earned his first professional win. He worked an inning and a third, giving up one hit.

Goldeyes Swept by Sioux City

Mon, 19 Aug 2024 03:22:21 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes lost their third straight game Sunday afternoon, dropping the series finale to the Sioux City Explorers (40-45) in front of a crowd of 5,746 at Blue Cross Park.

Box Score

It was a disappointing result for the home squad, as the Explorers completed the sweep of the Goldeyes (48-38) on the back of a timely home run and a string of solid relief performances.

After a scoreless first, Sioux City struck first in the second inning as a Cameron Cannon sacrifice fly to left field brought Nick Shumpert in to score to make it 1-0.

Winnipeg responded quickly, however, scoring a run in the bottom of the inning to tie things up. Goldeyes’ second baseman Edwin Arroyo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, forcing Roby Enríquez home to make it 1-1.

The Explorers jumped ahead again in the third thanks to a Justin Connell solo home run to left field. It was his fourth of the season and made it a 2-1 game.

It was another short-lived lead for Sioux City, as a Rob Emery single in the bottom of the third scored both Ramón Bramasco and Max Murphy to put the Goldeyes on top for the first time in the game 3-2. That single from Emery drew him back even with Murphy for the team lead in runs batted in with 64.

After two quiet middle innings, Winnipeg added another run in the sixth on a 394-foot solo blast from Goldeyes’ center fielder Nick Anderson , making it 4-2.

The game flipped almost entirely after that run, as the Explorers took complete control in the seventh inning.

Connell struck again, this time with an RBI single to right to bring Jake Green around to score to cut the Goldeyes lead to 4-3.

Just one batter later, Sioux City first baseman John Nogowski smacked his second go-ahead home run of the series, a two-run shot to left that made it 5-4.

The Goldeyes brought the tying run to third in the seventh but were unable to get any further than that as the score held and the Explorers came out on top.

J.D. Scholten (W, 5-2) started for Sioux City and came out with the victory. He allowed three runs on six hits over six innings.

Ryder Yakel (L, 2-3) took the loss for Winnipeg, allowing the go-ahead home run in the seventh inning. In total, he allowed three runs on four hits in just two thirds of an inning.

Explorers Score in Extra Frame to Blank Goldeyes

Sat, 17 Aug 2024 12:30:58 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes dropped their second straight game to the Sioux City Explorers (39-45) Saturday evening, falling 1-0 in an extra-innings heartbreaker at Blue Cross Park.

Box Score

Explorers’ starter Austin Drury carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning as the Goldeyes (48-36) just could not get anything going offensively against the Sioux City southpaw.

It was a pitchers’ duel through and through, as neither team could muster anything notable until late in the game.

The Goldeyes had a fantastic chance to jump ahead in the eighth inning after getting both Dayson Croes and Nick Anderson into scoring position, but failed to cash in a run after a strikeout and a hard groundout ended the inning with both teams still scoreless.

It took until the top of the tenth inning for any runs to cross the plate, and it ended up being the Explorers who struck with the first and only run of the close ballgame.

With the extra-innings rule of placing a courtesy runner on second base to begin any innings past the ninth, Sioux City started the frame with shortstop Osvaldo Martínez at second.

After moving over on a Scott Ota single to right field, Martínez ended up scoring on a slap single to right field by Explorers’ left fielder Zac Vooletich, making it 1-0.

The Goldeyes began the bottom half with Simington as the courtesy runner but were unable to bring in the tying run as the Explorers cut down the threat.

Zach Willeman (W, 3-2) picked up the win in relief after throwing 2.2 innings of shutout baseball late in the game.

Drury spun a gem for the Explorers, exiting in the eighth inning after allowing just two hits and not allowing a run.

Goldeyes’ starter Travis Seabrooke took a no-decision after a very strong start. The big lefty had a fantastic performance of his own, allowing just five hits while striking out six in 6.1 innings. He did not allow a run.

Thomas Ponticelli (L, 0-2) took the loss in relief, allowing the go-ahead run to score in the top of the tenth. All told, he went two innings and allowed a run on two hits.

Kyle Marman (S, 16) shut Winnipeg down in the bottom of the tenth, stranding the tying run on third to seal the victory for Sioux City.

This three-game series wraps up Sunday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. as the Goldeyes look to avoid the sweep. Winnipeg will send Mitchell Lambson (0-0, 17.35 ERA) to the mound with Sioux City countering with veteran right-hander J.D. Scholten (4-2, 4.86 ERA).

The Explorers opened the scoring early, bringing three across in the first. Leadoff man D’Shawn Knowles scored on a John Nogowski single to right field, making it 1-0.

They added to their lead just one batter later, as Daniel Lingua scored on a double play ball off the bat of Scott Ota to make it 2-0. Then, Nick Schumpert brought Nogowski around on another single to make it 3-0.

The Goldeyes started to chip away in the third inning, as Max Murphy drove in Ramón Bramasco on a single to centre to make it 3-1.

Then, in the fifth inning Murphy drove in another run to bring things closer, scoring Kevin García with a single. Murphy re-took the team lead in runs batted in with the two base hits, now having 64 on the season.

After battling back all night, Winnipeg knotted things up at three in the bottom of the sixth as catcher Rob Emery came across on a Sioux City throwing error to make it 3-3. Earlier in the inning, Emery had been struck in the face with a pitch but remained in the game after being cleared by the Goldeyes’ medical staff.

The Explorers struck back in a loud way, as Nogowski smacked a three-run home run to left field to make it 6-3 in the seventh inning.

That’s how the game finished up, as the Goldeyes were unable to recover from the late surge by Sioux City.

Brandon Brosher (W, 3-4) picked up the win in relief for the Explorers after pitching just two thirds of an inning.

Goldeyes Alone in Top Spot After Seventh Inning Outburst

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 12:30:33 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (47-35) scored six times in the seventh inning to snap a 6-6 tie and went on to defeat the Sioux Falls Canaries 13-6 at Blue Cross Park Tuesday evening. The Goldeyes now sit alone atop the West Division standings, one game better than the Canaries. The last time Winnipeg was in sole possession of first place this late in the season was August 23, 2020.

Box Score

In the pivotal bottom of the seventh, shortstop Andy Armstrong put the Goldeyes ahead by one with a double to left field that drove in centre fielder Nick Anderson . That was followed by a two-run single to right by left fielder Miles Simington that brought home first baseman Jake McMurray and Armstrong. Right fielder Roby Enríquez came in on catcher Rob Emery ’s sacrifice fly to right field before designated hitter Max Murphy belted a two-run home run onto Waterfront Drive in left to make the score 12-6.

Winnipeg added a run in the eighth inning when McMurray scored on Armstrong’s base-hit to left field.

The Goldeyes scored first, with second baseman Dayson Croes hitting a single up the middle with two out in the bottom of the first that brought third baseman Ramón Bramasco to the plate.

Sioux Falls (46-36) cut the lead in half in the second. Third baseman Liam Spence scored on right fielder Hunter Clanin’s two-out single to left.

The Canaries added four more in the top of the third inning to take a 5-2 lead. Second baseman Trevor Achenbach evened the score with a single to left field that drove in shortstop Jordan Barth. Spence hit an infield single to knock in first baseman Mike Hart, then Clanin added a two-run single with two out that saw designated hitter Jabari Henry and Achenbach come in.

Winnipeg responded with four runs of their own in the bottom of the inning move in front 6-5. Emery scored on Murphy’s double to left then Murphy came home when McMurray grounded into a double play to cut the deficit to one. Armstrong tied the contest with an infield single that brought Croes home, then scored on a throwing error to give the Goldeyes the lead.

Sioux Falls tied it at 6-6 in the top of the fourth when Barth led off the inning with a home run to left field.

Tasker Strobel (W, 3-2), the third Winnipeg pitcher of the evening, threw a spotless top of he seventh and benefited from his team’s outburst in the bottom of the frame.

Matt Dunaway (L, 1-2) went four innings in relief of starter Ryan Zimmerman. He allowed two earned runs on six hits.

Five Goldeyes had multi-hit games, including Armstrong, who was four-for-four with three runs batted in. Murphy had three hits and drove in three.

“I feel as if the narrative has flipped over the last week compared to what it has been all season,” said Winnipeg skipper Logan Watkins . “Our starting pitching has carried us and if we found away to score four or five runs, we’d have a good chance to win. Lately the starters haven’t been nearly as sharp but it’s nice to see the offence do really great job of coming through in big moments.”

The series continues Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. CDT with another marquee pitching matchup between Goldeyes right-hander Joey Matulovich (9-3, 2.44 ERA) and Sioux Falls lefty Ty Culbreth (10-1, 2.99 ERA).

Goldeyes Make it Five Straight With Win Over Lake Country

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Fri, 09 Aug 2024 13:51:22 GMT

OCONOMOWOC, WI – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (45-34) took an early eight-run lead and held on for a 10-6 victory over the Lake Country DockHounds Friday evening at Wisconsin Brewing Company Park.

Box Score

Just four batters into the contest, Goldeyes third baseman Ramón Bramasco came home on a wild pitch to give Winnipeg a 1-0 lead.

That lead was increased to 2-0 in the second inning when designated hitter Edwin Arroyo scored on Bramasco’s ground out to shortstop.

Lake Country (37-41) quickly tied it in the bottom of the inning, however. Third baseman Josh Altmann hit a one-out, two-run home run to left-centre field that made the score 2-2.

The Goldeyes crossed the plate six times in the fourth inning to break the game wide open. First baseman Jake McMurray and Bramasco had run-scoring singles and shortstop Andy Armstrong came home on catcher Rob Emery ’s sacrifice fly to centre. Right fielder Max Murphy then belted a three-run home run to right-centre field to make the score Winnipeg 8, Lake Country 2.

Emery made it 10-2 two innings later with a one-out double to the wall in left-centre field by Emery that scored Armstrong and Bramasco.

The DockHounds were not done though, scoring four times in the bottom of the sixth on singles by left fielder Ray Zuberer III and right fielder Samuel Benjamin, a wild pitch that allowed Zuberer to scamper home, and a sacrifice fly off the bat of second baseman Blake Tiberi that made it 10-6 in favour of the Goldeyes.

Landen Bourassa (W, 7-4) started for Winnipeg and went five innings. He gave up six runs on eight hits and struck out five.

Luke Hansel (L, 2-6) exited in the fourth inning after having allowed eight runs on six hits and seven bases on balls.

“It was a good offensive day for us,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “It’s kind of a difficult park to come in and pitch in because the dimensions here are pretty small, so if you make a couple of mistakes and a big inning can happen. Unfortunately Landen had a couple of innings that got away from him but fortunately the offence carried the team today.”

The series continues Saturday at 6:05 p.m. CDT. Lefty Travis Seabrooke (7-2, 3.30 ERA) will be on the mound for Winnipeg, while right-hander John Swanda (9-2, 5.84 ERA) is expected to start for the DockHounds.

Reininger Spectacular in Shutout of Saltdogs

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 03:29:44 GMT

LINCOLN, NE – 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.

Box Score

For Reininger (W, 8-4), it was the first nine-inning shutout and complete game of his career. He previously blanked the Sioux City Explorers July 3 in the opening game of a doubleheader – a seven-inning contest.

The one-time Detroit Tigers reliever needed just 97 pitches to accomplish the feat, 67 of which were strikes. Reininger scattered eight hits and struck out six batters.

Lincoln (29-48) grounded into four double plays and had just one extra-base hit, a fifth inning double by catcher Max Hewitt.

The Goldeyes only recorded four hits themselves, but one of them was a leadoff home run to right-centre field in the fifth by designated hitter Max Murphy – the lone run of the game.

Saltdogs starter Zach Keenan (L, 4-8) also pitched a complete game, striking out five.

“Obviously Zac Reininger was the story tonight,” said Winnipeg manager Logan Watkins . “Defensively we played great. Offensively, we couldn’t get anything going but give Zach Keenan a lot of credit – he threw a really good game.”

The Goldeyes will look for the series sweep Thursday at 7:05 p.m. CDT. Joey Matulovich (8-3, 2.13 ERA) will start for Winnipeg, with Karan Patel (4-4, 4.87 ERA) heading to the mound for Lincoln.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30 p.m. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

The Goldeyes return home next week to face the Sioux Falls Canaries in a three-game set beginning on Tuesday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m.

Late Comeback Gives Goldeyes Win Over Lincoln

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 04:37:50 GMT

LINCOLN, NE – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (42-34) opened their road trip with a come-from-behind, 5-4 win over the Lincoln Saltdogs at Haymarket Park Tuesday evening.

Box Score

After falling behind early, Winnipeg erased a pair of three-run deficits to take down Lincoln (29-47) in what ended up being an emotional rollercoaster in the Nebraska capital.

It was a pitchers’ duel for the first four innings, but the Saltdogs ended up breaking through in the fifth inning on an Alex Baeza three-run home run that was nearly brought back into play by Goldeyes’ centre fielder Nick Anderson .

Winnipeg drew closer in the sixth, as Miles Simington smacked a double to left to bring Andy Armstrong around and cut the Lincoln lead to 3-1.

The Saltdogs re-established their three-run advantage in the bottom of the sixth, as a Zane Zurbrugg triple scored Spencer Henson all the way from first to make it 4-1.

The lead was narrowed once again in the seventh inning, as Rob Emery came in to score on a wild pitch that bounced to the backstop to make it 4-2.

Emery was at the center of the action in the next inning, tying the game at 4-4 on a sharp single to left field, scoring Ramón Bramasco and Simington.

Just one batter later, Edwin Arroyo drove a single to left, scoring Max Murphy from second base and putting the Goldeyes on top 5-4 late in the game.

That Arroyo run batted in ended up being the game winner, as Winnipeg held on to win the opener and their second straight game.

The result, however, took a back seat in the ninth inning, as the intensity of a close game shifted to concern as Simington took a fastball off the front of the helmet. After staying down for several minutes, he left under his own power while holding a towel to his face. Keshawn Lynch took over for Simington after the injury.

Later in the inning, there was a different showing of emotion, as Emery was ejected from the contest after a called third strike that he disagreed with ended the inning with the bases loaded.

The incredibly eventful ninth inning was eventually put to an end when Joey Steele (S, 5) entered in the bottom half and retired the side to solidify the Goldeyes victory.

Tasker Strobel (W, 2-2) picked up the win in relief, allowing one run on two hits while striking out three batters in his 2.1 innings of work. He took over from starter Ryder Yakel , who took a no-decision after going 4.2 innings and allowing three runs on four hits.

One-time Goldeyes reliever Dan Kubiuk (L, 2-2) was charged with the loss in relief after taking over in the eighth inning, giving up a run on two hits.

“It was good to see us come from behind in a tough game. Ryder threw really well for us again in a spot start and the bullpen did a great job after that,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “Sometimes it takes a while for the offence to get rolling but eventually we got a big inning and that’s how we end up winning some of these games.”

Game two of the three-game set is slated for Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. CDT. Zac Reininger (7-4, 3.91 ERA) is scheduled to take the mound for Winnipeg, while Lincoln will counter with Zach Keenan (4-7, 4.68 ERA).

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30 p.m. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

The Goldeyes return home next week to face the Sioux Falls Canaries in a three-game set beginning on Tuesday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m.

Goldeyes' Bats Lead the Way to Series Split

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Mon, 05 Aug 2024 16:07:42 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (41-34) secured a series split against the West Division-leading Sioux Falls Canaries on Monday evening, winning 9-3 at Blue Cross Park on Terry Fox Day.

Box Score

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

Those early runs came in the form of a three-run blast from designated hitter Jabari Henry, who hit one out to deep left for the second consecutive game to make it 3-0 in the first. It was all Goldeyes after that.

Winnipeg began to strike back in the bottom of the fourth, as a series of hard-hit balls managed to elude Sioux Falls defenders to drive a couple of runs.

Roby Enríquez came around to score on a Miles Simington single that managed to drop between two Canaries outfielders to make it 3-1.

One batter later, Rob Emery scorched an infield single that took a wild hop on the infield dirt and off the shortstop, scoring Ramón Bramasco to make it 3-2.

The next inning was just as successful for Winnipeg, bringing another two runs home on an Enríquez RBI single to center field, bringing Nick Anderson and Keshawn Lynch in to score to put the Goldeyes on top 4-3.

The sixth inning was where the bulk of the Goldeyes’ damage was done, adding five more runs to their lead. After loading the bases, Winnipeg catcher Kevin García took a walk after an outstanding 12-pitch at-bat to force home Max Murphy from third to make it 5-3.

Continuing the line of run scoring, Enríquez cashed in his third run of the game on a sacrifice fly to right field to make it 6-3, which was immediately followed by a Bramasco single that scored Lynch, making it 7-3.

Bramasco, who added another single in the eighth inning, had a terrific day at the plate, going 4-4 with an RBI and two runs scored.

To cap off the big inning, García and Bramasco both came around on a throwing error by Canaries’ third baseman Ernny Ordoñez that sailed past first base to make it 9-3.

Nothing came across from either team, as a solid bullpen performance from Winnipeg shut down any hope of a Sioux Falls comeback.

Travis Seabrooke (W, 7-2) started and got the win after working five innings and giving up three runs on six hits. He was followed by Nick Trogrlic-Iverson and Ben Onyshko , who both threw two shutout innings out of the bullpen to close things out.

Canaries’ starter Seth Miller (L, 6-4) was charged with the loss after giving four runs on eight hits in his 4.1 innings pitched.

The Goldeyes now hit the road and travel down to the Nebraska capital where they’re set to face the Lincoln Saltdogs in a three-game set. The series-opener is slated for Tuesday at 7:05 p.m. CDT. Winnipeg is slated to send Ryder Yakel (2-2, 3.54 ERA) to the mound, while Lincoln will counter with Foster Pace (4-2, 3.34 ERA).

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30 p.m. The video stream of all games is also available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

The Goldeyes return home next week to face the Canaries again, this time in a three-game set beginning on Tuesday, August 13 at 6:30 p.m.

Five-Run Inning Vexes Goldeyes Once Again

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 08:33:17 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – 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.

Box Score

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.

Winnipeg (40-34) opened the scoring in the first on a double to right field by centre fielder Miles Simington that drove in left fielder Roby Enríquez .

The Canaries tied the contest at 1-1 in their next at-bat as Ulrich hit a sacrifice fly to centre field that brought in second baseman Trever Achenbach.

The Goldeyes answered right back in the bottom of the second when Enríquez reached on a fielding error, but first baseman Jake McMurray scored on the play. Winnipeg went up 3-1 on second baseman Edwin Arroyo ’s sacrifice fly to right field that scored designated hitter Ramón Bramasco .

Winnipeg added another run in the third inning. Right fielder Max Murphy drove in Simington with a single to right.

After Sioux Falls’ big fourth inning, the Goldeyes had their chances to tie it. The best of these was in the sixth when they loaded the bases with none out. Winnipeg managed to pull to within one on Enríquez’s sacrifice fly to centre that drove in McMurray, but the inning ended with the go-ahead run at second base after back-to-back ground outs.

Neil Lang (W, 4-0) allowed five runs – four earned – on seven hits over five innings. Charlie Hasty (S, 13) sent the Goldeyes down in order in the ninth inning.

WINNIPEG, MB – Scoring five times in the sixth inning, the Sioux Falls Canaries (42-30) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 6-2 at Blue Cross Park Saturday evening.

Box Score

Sioux Falls took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning when first baseman Mike Hart scored on a wild pitch. It was Goldeyes starter Joey Matulovich ’s first wild pitch of the season, and the first run he had allowed in 24 innings, dating back to July 10 against Kansas City.

Winnipeg (40-33) went ahead 2-1 in the bottom of the third. First, second baseman Dayson Croes tied the contest with a double to left field that brought in Ramón Bramasco . Croes then scored on catcher Rob Emery ’s single to left.

Catcher Scott Combs knocked in second baseman Trevor Achenbach to make the score 4-2.

Six-Run Outburst the Difference as Goldeyes Down Canaries

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 14:04:40 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (40-32) opened a four-game series against the West Division leading Sioux Falls Canaries with an 8-2 win on “Winnipeg 150” Night at Blue Cross Park Friday.

Box Score

Winnipeg closed the gap in the standings to just 1.5 games as they rode a massive sixth inning and a gutsy pitching performance that kept the usually potent Sioux Falls (41-30) offence scoreless through seven innings.

The Goldeyes opened things up with a bang in the second inning when centre fielder Nick Anderson blasted his first home run as a member of the Goldeyes. It was a two-run shot to left field to make it 2-0.

The game settled down over the next several innings, but that changed very quickly as Winnipeg exploded for six runs on six hits to blow the game wide open.

Miles Simington and Max Murphy both came around on an Anderson two-run single to right field to extend the Goldeyes’ lead to 4-0 and give the Goldeyes centre fielder four runs batted in on the evening.

The barrage continued on consecutive batters, as Ramón Bramasco lined a single to through the left side of the infield to bring home another to make it 5-0.

Then, Andy Armstrong brought home two more on a single to centre to make it 7-0. The Goldeyes’ shortstop is on a nice run in his last two games, tallying four hits and reaching base six times.

Just a few batters later, Simington brought home the sixth run of the inning with a single to left to bring Armstrong the rest of the way around to make it 8-0. Simington finished the evening going 4-5 with an RBI and two runs scored.

All told, the Goldeyes brought 10 batters to the plate in the sixth inning, including a stretch of seven straight batters reaching safely.

Sioux Falls added a couple of runs in the top of the eighth inning to draw to within six runs, but that was the end of their comeback efforts.

Zac Reininger (W, 7-4) threw seven shutout innings of four-hit baseball on his way to his seventh win of the season.

Canaries’ starter Ryan Zimmerman (L, 5-6) was charged with the loss after giving up two runs on five hits in his five innings of work. Most of the damage was done with Sioux Falls reliever Dylan Chalmers on the mound. After taking over in the sixth inning, Chalmers allowed six runs on 10 hits over three innings.

“This game reminded me of what we saw in June, when we pitched well and had one big inning”, said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “I don’t know if I prefer to win that way, or if I’d rather we be more consistent offensively. But I’m not going to complain about a win.”

Game two of the series goes Saturday at 6:00 p.m. as two of the best pitchers in the American Association go head-to-head. Winnipeg is sending Joey Matulovich (8-2, 1.96 ERA) to the mound while Sioux Falls will counter with Ty Culbreth (9-1, 2.46 ERA).

Monarchs Pull Away Late to Take Series

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Fri, 02 Aug 2024 04:10:11 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes dropped the finale of a three-game series Thursday evening, falling 8-2 to the Kansas City Monarchs (35-34) at Blue Cross Park.

Box Score

The Monarchs took two of three in Winnipeg, winning the series and climbing above .500 once again. It was a bullpen day for the Goldeyes, and Kansas City took advantage of the carousel of arms that took the mound.

After opening the scoring early, the Goldeyes’ bats went quiet as the game got out of reach.

Winnipeg (39-32) pushed a run across to open the scoring in the third inning when Roby Enríquez dropped a single into left field to score Kevin García from third to make it 1-0.

The one-run lead held until the fifth inning when Kansas City centre fielder Ross Adolph hammered a home run to straight-away centre field to tie things at 1-1.

The Monarchs jumped ahead in the top of the sixth inning, plating three runs on three hits. Adolph was once again at the centre of the action, driving in Josh Bissonette on a single through the infield into right to make it 2-1.

Two more runs came across on a Frankie Tostado single to left, as Herbert Iser and Chavez Young both came around to make it 4-1.

The Goldeyes brought things to within two runs with another Enríquez RBI single that brought Andy Armstrong around to score to close the gap to 4-2.

A four-run top of the ninth for the Monarchs effectively slammed the door shut on the Goldeyes’ comeback efforts.

They made it 6-2 on a two-run single from Bissonette into right field that scored both Trent Giambrone and Travis Swaggerty.

Carson Maxwell added two more on his triple to deep centre field, scoring Isiah Gilliam and Bissonette to make it 8-2.

No other Goldeyes would come across to threaten the lead, as the Monarchs closed things out in the ninth without a threat.

Kansas City starter Julian García (W, 3-1) got the victory, tossing seven strong innings, allowing two runs on six hits.

Thomas Ponticelli (L, 0-1) took the loss in relief. He allowed three runs on three hits in his two innings of work.

The Goldeyes open a new series against the West Division leading Sioux Falls Canaries at Blue Cross Park Friday at 7:00 p.m. for our “Winnipeg 150” celebration including another fantastic post-game fireworks show.

Zac Reininger (6-4, 4.25 ERA) will take the mound for Winnipeg, while the Canaries have yet to announce their starter.

"Second Half Power Surge" Paces Goldeyes to Victory

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Wed, 31 Jul 2024 18:27:08 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – Third baseman Dayson Croes and first baseman Jake McMurray homered on consecutive pitches as the Winnipeg Goldeyes (39-31) defeated the Kansas City Monarchs 5-2 at Blue Cross Park Wednesday evening.

Box Score

Kansas City (34-34) opened the scoring in the top of the third inning on left fielder Chavez Young’s two-out, solo home run to left-centre field.

The Goldeyes responded in the bottom of the inning when left fielder Keshawn Lynch came in to score on designated hitter Roby Enríquez ’s ground out to the first baseman.

Winnipeg’s back-to-back homers came with two out in the fourth inning. Croes crushed a 3-2 pitch 383 feet down the right field line to make the score 2-1 Goldeyes. It was his third long ball of the season – all coming in the past nine contests. One pitch later, McMurray smacked his second four-bagger of the campaign to left field to give Winnipeg a two-run advantage.

The Monarchs trimmed the lead to one in the top of the fifth on shortstop Josh Bissonette’s single to centre field. Third baseman Carson Maxwell crossed the plate to make the score 3-2 in favour of the Goldeyes.

Again, Winnipeg answered in their next at-bat. First, shortstop Ramón Bramasco came home as the result of a throwing error after Enriquez doubled to left field. Then second baseman Edwin Arroyo doubled to left to drive in fellow Puerto Rican Enríquez, giving the Goldeyes a 5-2 lead.

Travis Seabrooke (W, 6-2) worked seven innings, scattering seven hits and giving up a pair of runs. He struck out two. Thomas Ponticelli and his University of San Francisco teammate Joey Steele (S, 4) both pitched one inning, sending Kansas City down in order in the eighth and ninth.

Hunter McMahon (L, 3-2) started for the Monarchs and went five innings. He allowed five runs on eight hits.

Croes was a triple shy of the cycle and improved his team-leading batting average to .339. Arroyo had two hits in his Goldeyes debut. The 33-year-old was activated earlier Wednesday after arriving in Winnipeg a day earlier.

“It was another fantastic pitching performance,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “It’s kind of the same story every day, when we win we throw well and get enough hits to push across five or six runs and when we lose we just don’t get those hits.”

The rubber match is set for Thursday at 6:30 p.m. CDT. Ryder Yakel (2-2, 3.91 ERA) will make a spot start for the Goldeyes, while Julián García (2-1, 3.05 ERA) is expected to take the mound for Kansas City.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Late Run Gives Monarchs Victory Over Goldeyes

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 17:43:11 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – 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.

Box Score

With runners at first and second and one out, centre fielder Ross Adolph grounded into what might have been an inning-ending double play. However, Goldeyes shortstop Andy Armstrong ’s throw to first base went out of play, allowing Maxwell to come home.

Winnipeg (38-31) opened the scoring in the first inning when left fielder Miles Simington hit a double to left field that brought in catcher Rob Emery .

The Monarchs tied the game in the fourth inning as second baseman Trent Giambrone scored on catcher Herbert Iser’s ground out. Goldeyes first baseman Jake McMurray ’s throw appeared to have beat Giambrone to the plate, but he was able to dance around Emery’s tag to even the contest at 1-1.

Kansas City added to runs in the fifth. First, left fielder Chavez Young scampered home on first baseman Frankie Tostado’s sacrifice fly to centre. Then Giambrone doubled into the left field corner to drive in Adolph to make it 3-1 for the visitors.

Winnipeg pulled even in the bottom of the seventh inning thanks to back-to-back sacrifice flies by right fielder Roby Enríquez and Emery.

Jonathan Sprinkle (W, 1-1), the Monarchs’ fourth pitcher of the evening, worked one hitless inning to put himself in line for the victory. A.J. Alexy (S, 2) gave up one hit in the ninth but was able to strand pinch runner Keshawn Lynch at second base.

Landen Bourassa started for the Goldeyes. He exited after the seventh having surrendered three runs on seven hits. Nick Trogrlic-Iverson (L, 4-3) allowed one unearned run in the ninth inning.

Third Time's a Charm: Matulovich Named Pitcher of the Week

Mon, 29 Jul 2024 21:15:28 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – For the third time this season and second consecutive week, Winnipeg Goldeyes ace Joey Matulovich has been recognized as American Association Pitcher of the Week for the period ending Sunday. He previously won the award June 10 and July 22 and was also honoured as the Rawlings Pitcher of the Month for June.

After returning from the American Association All-Star Game where he represented the West Division, the 27-year-old was spectacular yet again in his Sunday, July 28 start against the Sioux Falls Canaries. He tossed 6.2 innings of shutout baseball while allowing just three hits.

The right-hander leads the American Association with a 1.96 earned run average, 102 strikeouts and 91.2 innings pitched. He is second in the league with eight wins. Sunday was Matulovich’s eleventh quality start of the season and also stretched his shutout streak to 22.2 innings, dating back to his July 10 start against the Kansas City Monarchs.

A native of Walnut Creek, California, Matulovich joined the Goldeyes during the first week of the 2023 campaign and finished the season with a 5-9 record and a 3.93 ERA in 20 starts. His 121 strikeouts were just three shy of the league lead, and he ranked fifth with 116.2 innings pitched.

Matulovich was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of the University of California (Berkeley, California).

He spent parts of five seasons in the Brewers’ system, reaching as high as Class-A Advanced with the Midwest League’s Wisconsin Timber Rattlers. Matulovich appeared in 95 career games in the affiliated minor leagues, primarily out of the bullpen. He compiled a 12-10 record with a 4.66 ERA and two saves.

The Goldeyes return to Blue Cross Park Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. CDT when they will open a seven-game homestand against the Kansas City Monarchs. Landen Bourassa (6-3, 3.12 ERA) will start for Winnipeg, with Connor Curlis (1-4, 5.76) expected to take the mound for Kansas City.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Goldeyes Win Thriller in Sioux Falls, Earn Split With Canaries

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Sun, 28 Jul 2024 17:44:30 GMT

SIOUX FALLS, SD – 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

With two out, the Goldeyes’ left fielder hit a looper to shallow centre that Drew Mount dove to make a play on. However, the ball bounced past him and rolled all the way to the wall, allowing Simington to score standing up.

Joey Steele (W, 1-1) then retired the Canaries in order in the bottom of the inning to give Winnipeg a split of the four-game series and leave them just a half-game out of first place in the West Division standings.

The Goldeyes took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the eighth when Sioux Falls (38-29) evened the score on right fielder Hunter Clanin’s single to left-centre field that drove in first baseman Josh Rehwaldt.

Winnipeg had gone ahead in the second inning after designated hitter Max Murphy scampered home as the result of a fielding error by Canaries second baseman Trevor Achenbach. Goldeyes second baseman Dayson Croes had doubled to right-centre field and Achenbach was unable to corral the throw from Mount.

What was an anticipated marquee pitching match-up definitely materialized. Winnipeg starter Joey Matulovich worked into the seventh inning and did not allow a run. He surrendered only three hits, struck out eight and walked just one. The 27-year-old has not given up a run over his last three starts and lowered his league-leading earned run average to 1.96.

Meanwhile, Ty Culbreth started for Sioux Falls and was seeking his tenth win of the season. He went eight innings and allowed one run on five hits.

Zach Veen (L, 0-3) pitched the final two frames for the Canaries and was responsible for two runs on one hit.

“Joey Matulovich was fantastic once again,” said Winnipeg manager Logan Watkins . “Offensively, it was not our best day, but we were also going up a very good pitcher who is having a great year as well. I think we knew going into the game that it was probably going to be close, and we made enough plays in extra innings to win. It was a good series overall.”

The Goldeyes return to Blue Cross Park Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. CDT when they will open a seven-game homestand against the Kansas City Monarchs. Landen Bourassa (6-3, 3.12 ERA) will start for Winnipeg, with Jackson Goddard (1-4, 5.14) expected to take the mound for Kansas City.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Tuesday is “Ukrainian Night”. The national anthems will be performed by the Hoosli Ukrainian Male Chorus and there will be routines by the Troyanda Ukrainian Dance Ensemble on field.

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Sat, 27 Jul 2024 17:22:14 GMT

SIOUX FALLS, SD – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (37-30) broke a 4-4 tie with three runs in the top of the ninth inning and defeated the Sioux Falls Canaries 7-4 at Sioux Falls Stadium Saturday evening.

Box Score

First baseman Rob Emery sparked the rally with a double into the left field corner that brought in third baseman Keshawn Lynch . Second baseman Dayson Croes then singled to left to drive in Emery before designated hitter Nick Anderson hit a bloop single to left-centre field to plate Croes.

The Goldeyes took one run leads in the first, fourth, sixth, and seventh innings, but each time Sioux Falls (38-28) evened the score, hitting three solo home runs in the process. Right fielder Josh Rehwaldt, designated hitter Jabari Henry, and shortstop Jordan Barth all went deep for the Canaries.

Emery had a pair of two-baggers and drove in two runs. Croes went two for five and also knocked two.

Reliever Ben Onyshko (W, 1-0) was the pitcher of record when Winnipeg regained the lead in the final frame. He worked one inning and surrendered his first earned run of the season on one hit.

Bats Quiet in Loss to Sioux Falls

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Fri, 26 Jul 2024 18:46:42 GMT

SIOUX FALLS, SD – The Sioux Falls Canaries (38-27) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 3-1 at Sioux Falls Stadium Friday evening.

Box Score

The Canaries jumped out to a 2-0 first inning lead. First, shortstop Jordan Barth singled to left-centre field to bring home third baseman Liam Spence. Barth then scored on a Jabari Henry fielder’s choice.

Winnipeg (36-30) cut the lead to 2-1 in the fourth when left fielder Keyshawn Lynch doubled to left-centre to drive in catcher Rob Emery .

Sioux Falls got that run back in the sixth inning on an infield single by left fielder Spencer Sarringar that scored second baseman Trevor Achenbach.

Canaries’ starter Tanner Brown (W, 8-4) went six innings and gave up one earned run on five hits. He fanned five and walked three. Charlie Hasty (S, 10) shut the door on the Goldeyes in the ninth.

Travis Seabrooke (L, 5-2) started for Winnipeg. He worked six innings, allowing three runs – all earned – on nine hits. He struck out four batters and walked none. Thomas Ponticelli , signed earlier Friday, and Nick Trogrlic-Iverson each pitched a scoreless inning of relief for the Goldeyes.

“It was a good game. A lot of credit has to go to Travis,” said manager Logan Watkins . “He gave up two in the first, but he settled back in and threw really well. The bullpen came in and did great but for whatever reason we couldn’t get anything going offensively”.

The four-game series continues Saturday at 5:35 p.m. CDT with Zac Reininger (6-4, 4.23 ERA) scheduled to start for Winnipeg. Fellow right-hander Ryan Zimmerman (5-5, 5.52 ERA) will take the mound for Sioux Falls.

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 19:19:56 GMT

SIOUX FALLS, SD – 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.

Box Score

Barth, the Sioux Falls shortstop, lined a two-out base hit to right-centre field to bring automatic runner Hunter Clanin in to score the winning run.

The Canaries opened the scoring in the bottom of the second when first baseman Mike Hart led off the frame with a home run to right field. Before the inning was over, second baseman Trevor Achenbach would score on a double play to make it 2-0.

Winnipeg (36-29) tied the contest in the fourth inning on second baseman Dayson Croes ’ two-run shot to right field, his second in four games.

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 19:52:57 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – 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 27-year-old made two spectacular starts last week, working seven scoreless innings in both, and giving up a paltry total of three hits. The Goldeyes shut out their opponent on both occasions, a 7-0 win over the Explorers in Sioux City on July 16, and an 8-0 defeat of the Milwaukee Milkmen Sunday at Blue Cross Park.

The right-hander leads the American Association with a 2.12 earned run average, 94 strikeouts and 85 innings pitched. He is second in the league with eight wins. Sunday was Matulovich’s tenth quality start of the season.

Matulovich was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of the University of California (Berkeley, California).

Matulovich along with second baseman Dayson Croes , catcher Rob Emery , starting pitcher Travis Seabrooke , outfielder Miles Simington , and reliever Nick Trogrlic-Iverson are in Kansas City, Kansas to represent the Goldeyes at the American Association All-Star Game, which takes place Tuesday at Legends Field.

The team is back in action Thursday, July 25 at 6:35 p.m. when they visit the Sioux Falls Canaries at Sioux Falls Stadium. The Goldeyes are just a half game back of Sioux Falls for the West Division lead.

Goldeyes Win Sixth Straight, Sweep Milwaukee

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 13:20:35 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – 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.

Winnipeg wasted no time jumping ahead, as they took a 1-0 lead on a Miles Simington single to right field that scored Roby Enríquez from second base.

They added to that lead in the fourth inning after Nick Anderson came across on a throwing error by the catcher that sailed into right field to make it 2-0.

Nothing crossed the plate in the middle innings, but for the second game in a row the Goldeyes added some insurance late in the game.

Winnipeg would make it 4-0 in the seventh inning thanks to a two-run blast from Max Murphy that carried into the netting beyond the left field wall.

Later in the inning, Dayson Croes came home on a Jake McMurray sacrifice fly to make it 5-0. McMurray had a productive series at the plate, compiling eight hits and four RBI.

They weren’t done there, as they went on to add three more in the eighth inning. Simington kicked things off with a two-run double down the left field line to score Enríquez and Keshawn Lynch to make it 7-0.

Simington ended up coming around to score to make it 8-0 on a broken play that resulted in an error on the Milkmen third baseman after trying to throw out Murphy at first.

That score held as the Goldeyes went on to complete the sweep and record their American Association-leading eighth team shutout of the year.

Joey Matulovich (W, 8-2) continued to put together a historically good season, as he threw seven scoreless innings while racking up nine strikeouts. It was his second consecutive start of seven innings without allowing a run, stretching his personal shutout streak to 16 innings.

Sunday was Matulovich’s 10th quality start of the season, something he’s clearly become quite accustomed to doing in his 13 starts this season.

“He is just so consistently great for us,” said Goldeyes’ skipper Logan Watkins . “He never beats himself.”

Matulovich, who is set to pitch in the American Association All-Star Game, has earned every ounce of praise he has received over the course of the year.

“It’s very, very well deserved,” said Watkins about Matulovich and the other five Goldeyes slated to play in the game. “They’ll get the chance to go enjoy the experience and hopefully do well in the game.”

On the other side of the pitching matchup, Milkmen starter Ryley Widell (L, 4-1) was tagged with loss after allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits while striking out five.

Most of the damage was done against the Milwaukee relievers Davis Welch and Ben Gerl, who allowed six runs on seven hits.

Nick Trogrlic-Iverson , who is also headed to the All-Star game, finished things off by pitching the final two innings, only allowing two hits.

Matulovich, Trogrlic-Iverson, Croes, Emery, Simington, and Travis Seabrooke will all head south to Kansas City to represent the Goldeyes in the All-Star Game, which takes place on Tuesday, July 23 at Legends Field.

The Goldeyes are back in action on Thursday, July 25 at 6:35 p.m. as they visit the Sioux Falls Canaries for a massive series between teams jockeying for first place in the West Division.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The video stream of all games is also available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Reininger Leads Goldeyes Past Milkmen

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Sat, 20 Jul 2024 15:42:34 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (35-28) took a close one Saturday evening at Blue Cross Park, defeating the Milwaukee Milkmen 3-1 to win their fifth straight game.

Box Score

A strong start and stellar defense kept the game close and allowed the Goldeyes to take the second game of the three-game set against Milwaukee (31-32) to win the series.

The Milkmen opened the score in the second inning as Abdiel Layer scored on a Reggie Pruitt Jr. fielder’s choice to make it 1-0.

The lead wouldn’t stand for long, however, as the Goldeyes struck back as Roby Enríquez would drive in Keshawn Lynch with a sharp single to right field that snuck past the Milwaukee infielders to knot things up 1-1 in the third inning.

Winnipeg brought another run around in the fourth inning, taking the lead on a sacrifice fly to left field from Jake McMurray that scored catcher Rob Emery to give the Goldeyes a 2-1 lead.

The action quieted down in the middle innings as it became a battle of pitching and defense, featuring a spectacular diving snag by Goldeyes centre fielder Nick Anderson in the eighth inning, who is playing in his first game at Blue Cross Park after being acquired by the Lincoln Saltdogs July 13.

Winnipeg added some much-needed insurance in the bottom of the eighth, as Emery blasted his ninth home run of the season down the left field line to make it 3-1. The Goldeyes backstop is slated to take part in the American Association Home Run Derby this coming week as a part of the All-Star Game festivities.

The Milkmen continued to press into the ninth inning as they loaded the bases with two outs but were shut down by Goldeyes reliever Joey Steele (S, 2) who earned his second save of the season after returning from injury on July 16.

Zac Reininger (W, 6-4) put together a very strong start, throwing six innings of one run ball while striking out seven. Reininger’s effort is just the latest in a long line of fantastic pitching performances from the Goldeyes starters.

“We’ve gotten to a point where there aren’t a lot of weaknesses on the pitching staff,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “Every time we send a starter out we have a great chance [to win], and that’s been the case over the entire first half of the season.”

Another pitching bright spot for the Goldeyes has been found in the bullpen in the form of lefty Ben Onyshko . In his 14 appearances this season, the Winnipeg native hasn’t allowed an earned run in 22.2 innings pitched.

Jhordany Mezquita (L, 4-1) was tagged with the loss for the Milkmen. He went 5.2 innings allowing two runs on eight hits.

The Goldeyes and Milkmen wrap up their three-game set on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. CDT at Blue Cross Park. Joey Matulovich (7-2, 2.30) takes the ball for Winnipeg as they try for the series sweep, while Milwaukee will counter with lefty Ryley Widell (4-0, 4.52).

The Goldeyes stormed back with five runs of their own in the bottom of the first, highlighted by second baseman Dayson Croes ’ first four-bagger of the season, a three-run shot to right field that made the score Winnipeg 5 Milwaukee 1.

In the fourth inning, with the Goldeyes now ahead 7-2, left fielder Keshawn Lynch belted a two-out grand slam home run to left field.

Winnipeg led 13-3 in the top of the seventh when pinch hitter Willie Escala hit a two-run home run to right to bring the Milkmen to within eight.

Milwaukee batted around in the ninth inning and crossed the plate five times to round out the scoring.

He went four of six with three runs batted in, raising his batting average to .314. Lynch drove in five runs in total, while Croes had four RBIs of his own.

Sebastián Rodríguez (L, 6-3) had a rough outing. He gave up 11 runs on 10 hits in just four innings.

“It was great to see us come out and put together a full nine innings offensively,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “We faced a good pitcher today too, but we had a huge bottom of the first to get the ball rolling, and it carried us through the rest of the game.”

Game two of the series is set for Saturday at 6:00 p.m. at Blue Cross Park. Right-hander Zac Reininger (5-4, 4.47 ERA) will start for Winnipeg, with lefty Jhordany Mezquita (4-0, 3.12 ERA) expected to take the mound for the Milkmen.

SIOUX CITY, IA – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (33-28) pulled to within 3.5 games of first place in the West Division with a 5-4, come-from-behind victory over the Sioux City Explorers at Lewis & Clark Park Thursday evening. The Goldeyes swept the three-game set and have won eight of nine contests against the Explorers this season.

Box Score

Sioux City (26-33) batted around in the second inning, scoring four times on only two hits. Third baseman Osvaldo Martínez had one of those hits, a two-run single to left field that gave the Explorers a 2-0 lead. Centre fielder Nick Shumpert came in on a fielding error and Martínez was forced in on a bases-loaded walk before the side was retired.

Winnipeg rallied to tie the game with four runs of their own in the top of the third. Right fielder Max Murphy drove in catcher Kevin García and shortstop Andy Armstrong with a base hit to centre field to cut Sioux City’s lead in half. The next batter, designated hitter Miles Simington also singled to centre, bringing in left fielder Roby Enríquez before Murphy came in to even the score on centre fielder Nick Anderson ’s sacrifice fly to centre.

Goldeyes Win Thriller in Sioux City

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 21:15:53 GMT

SIOUX CITY, IA – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (32-28) jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and hung on to defeat the Sioux City Explorers 6-5 at Lewis & Clark Park Wednesday evening.

Box Score

The game ended in bizarre fashion, with the tying run stranded 90 feet from the plate after Explorers’ first baseman John Nogowski reached on an error charged to Goldeyes right fielder Max Murphy . Nogowski took a few too many steps toward second base and Murphy’s throw to Jake McMurray at first base beat him back to the bag for the final out. It was Murphy’s fifth outfield assist of the season.

Winnipeg got on the board in top of the first when third baseman Ramón Bramasco scored on a double play ball off Murphy’s bat. They would add a pair of runs before the side was retired. First, left fielder Miles Simington came home on a wild pitch, then second baseman Dayson Croes drove in catcher Rob Emery with a single to left field.

The Goldeyes extended their lead to four the following frame as shortstop Andy Armstrong scored on a single to right by designated hitter Roby Enríquez .

Sioux City (26-32) cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the fourth when Nogowski hit a two-run home run down the left field line to make the score 4-2.

Emery gave Winnipeg a three-run cushion in the fifth, bringing Murphy in with a single to centre field, but the Explorers pulled to within one in the seventh on run scoring singles to right field by left fielder Zac Vooletich and catcher Will Busch.

The Goldeyes scored what turned out to be a huge insurance run in the eighth thanks to a single to centre by Croes that brought Simington in.

Again, Sioux City responded in the bottom of the inning, with right fielder Scott Ota scoring on an error to make it 6-5 Winnipeg.

Goldeyes starter Travis Seabrooke (W, 5-1) pitched six innings and allowed two runs on five hits. He struck out six and walked a pair. Nick Trogrlic-Iverson (S, 5) gave up one hit in the ninth but was able to keep the Explorers from tying the contest.

Jaren Jackson (L, 1-2) surrendered six runs – four earned – on 12 hits in seven innings of work for Sioux City, fanning four batters.

Emery had four hits on the evening, while Enríquez had three.

“Give Sioux City some credit, they came back in the late innings and really fought,” said Winnipeg manager Logan Watkins . “They grinded out some at-bats and got some big hits and made it interesting. We feel like we caught a break on the last play of the game, but they also caught a break that Max had an uncharacteristic drop on a ball he almost always catches. Fortunately, he made a great throw to get Nogowski at first and put an end to the game.”

The series concludes Thursday at 7:05 p.m. CDT. Right-hander Landen Bourassa (5-3, 3.17 ERA) will take the mound for the Goldeyes, with southpaw Austin Drury (2-4, 7.26 ERA) expected to start for the Explorers.

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30 p.m. The video stream of all games is also available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

The team returns home Friday, July 19 at 7:00 p.m. when the Milwaukee Milkmen come to Blue Cross Park for Throwback Night. The first 1,000 fans through the gate will receive a vintage pennant, the Goldeyes will wear special retro jerseys, and there will be postgame fireworks!

Winnipeg increased their lead to 4-0 in the sixth. First, Enríquez came in on designated hitter Max Murphy ’s triple to centre field.

Simington drove in another in the seventh inning, plating Enríquez with a single to centre.

The Goldeyes crossed the plate two more times in the ninth, with a base hit by Murphy knocking in shortstop Ramón Bramasco , and another sacrifice fly – this one off the bat of third baseman Dayson Croes – bringing Enríquez in to score.

SIOUX FALLS, SD – Despite being out-hit 8-4, the Sioux Falls Canaries (35-21) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 4-1 at Sioux Falls Stadium Saturday evening, snapping the Goldeyes’ four-game winning streak.

Box Score

The Canaries opened the scoring in their first at-bat, with left fielder Josh Rehwaldt hitting a double to left-centre field that scored centre fielder Wyatt Ulrich. The next batter, first baseman Mike Hart, grounded out to second base bringing designated hitter Jabari Henry to the plate and the home side led 2-0.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, third baseman Derek Maiben lined a single up the middle to drive in second baseman Trevor Achenbach and right fielder Hunter Clanin and double Sioux Falls’ advantage to 4-0.

Winnipeg (30-27) scored their lone run in the fifth when third baseman Dayson Croes came home on a ground out to shortstop off the bat of second baseman Keshawn Lynch .

“We let them get a bit of momentum in the first inning, and when you’re going up against Ty Culbreth you know you’re going to have to battle to stay in the game,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “I think the bullpen deserves a lot of credit, they came into the game early and shut them down the rest of the way.”

The series concludes Sunday at 1:05 p.m. CDT. Right-hander Zac Reininger (5-3, 4.19 ERA) will take the mound for Winnipeg, while lefty Tanner Brown (6-3, 3.11 ERA) is expected to start for Sioux Falls.

Goldeyes' Simington Wins "Last Man In" Vote

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 19:47:05 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – As it turns out, there will be five members of the Winnipeg Goldeyes representing the West Division at this month’s American Association All-Star Game in Kansas City. Outfielder Miles Simington was the overwhelming choice of fans who cast ballots in the league’s “Last Man In” vote.

Simington (pronounced SIHM-ing-ton) joins starters Dayson Croes and Rob Emery , and pitchers Joey Matulovich and Travis Seabrooke , who were named to the West Division squad earlier this week.

The 24-year-old is hitting .307 with 20 doubles, three triples, four home runs, and 35 runs batted in. He has the second-best batting average on the Goldeyes, and leads the team in doubles, triples, and stolen bases.

Simington joined the Goldeyes in late June 2023 after beginning his professional career with the Schaumburg Boomers of the Frontier League. In 47 games with Winnipeg last season, he hit .329 with four home runs, ten doubles, and 21 RBIs.

A native of Kankakee, Illinois, Simington played college baseball at Purdue University (West Lafayette, Indiana) and the University of South Alabama (Mobile, Alabama).

Nick Dalesandro of the Chicago Dogs was chosen as the East Division’s final representative for the All-Star festivities at Legends Field July 22 & 23.

Goldeyes Open Series With Win in Sioux Falls

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 13:22:44 GMT

SIOUX FALLS, SD – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (30-26) pulled to within 4.5 games of West Division leading Sioux Falls with a 9-4 victory over the Canaries at Sioux Falls Stadium Friday evening.

Box Score

The Goldeyes – winners of four straight – grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning when third baseman Ramón Bramasco singled through the right side of the infield to bring home centre fielder Nick Anderson and first baseman Jake McMurray .

Anderson doubled the Winnipeg lead an inning later when he lined a single to centre field to score catcher Rob Emery and second baseman Dayson Croes .

Sioux Falls (34-21) cut the lead to three in the bottom of the third on centre fielder Wyatt Ulrich’s two-out solo home run to right-centre that made the score 4-1.

The Canaries tied the contest in their next at-bat. Second baseman Trevor Achenbach drove in right fielder Josh Rehwaldt with a single to shallow left field to cut the Goldeyes’ lead to two before left fielder Liam Spence hit a sacrifice fly to centre field that scored first baseman Mike Hart to bring Sioux Falls within one. The next batter, third baseman Derek Maiben, hit a bloop single to right field that brought Achenbach home to even the score at 4-4.

The Goldeyes rallied with two out in the fifth to re-take the lead. McMurray put Winnipeg back in front with a single up the middle that scored Emery. Then shortstop Andy Armstrong doubled off the wall in left field to bring both Anderson and McMurray around to score. Finally, Armstrong crossed the plate as the result of a throwing error which made the scored Goldeyes 8 Canaries 4.

The final run of the ballgame came in the top of the seventh inning when Croes scored on a wild pitch.

Winnipeg starter Landen Bourassa (W, 5-3), who did not miss a start after taking a line drive off his throwing elbow July 5, worked six innings and gave up four runs on eight hits while striking out three. Ben Onyshko and Tasker Strobel kept Sioux Falls off the scoresheet for the final three frames.

Christian Johnson (L, 1-1) started for the Canaries. He pitched five innings and surrendered eight runs – seven earned – on eight hits. He fanned three and walked five..

“Offensively, it was a sustained effort and it felt like we were threatening almost every inning,” said Goldeyes skipper Logan Watkins . “Landen threw well, he had the one inning where they got to him a little, but he came back and gave us a couple more after that and did a great job. As far as playing a game on a travel day, that’s kind of how you draw it up and it worked out great today.”

The Goldeyes made two transactions earlier in the day. Anderson was acquired from the Lincoln Saltdogs in exchange for cash and right-handed pitcher Grant Townsend was released.

The series continues at 5:35 p.m. CDT Saturday with Winnipeg sending righty Colton Eastman (2-8, 6.98 ERA) to the mound. Southpaw Ty Culbreth (8-1, 1.90 ERA) will start for Sioux Falls.

Seabrooke Leads Goldeyes to Sweep of Kansas City

Thu, 11 Jul 2024 14:45:41 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (29-26) completed the three-game sweep as they knocked off the Kansas City Monarchs 6-2 on a hot Thursday evening at Blue Cross Park.

Box Score

In what has become a common theme for Winnipeg, their victory over the Monarchs (23-29) came on the back of yet another strong pitching performance and runs that came in bunches.

Winnipeg got off to a great start, putting up three runs in the opening frame. Miles Simington got the action started, plating Roby Enríquez on a double to deep centre field to make it 1-0. It was his 20th double of the season, placing him just three behind the league lead.

Just one batter later, All-Star third baseman Dayson Croes had a double of his own that dumped in down the left field line, scoring both Max Murphy and Simington to make it 3-0.

Kansas City responded with two runs of their own in the top half of the third inning when Ross Adolph hit a two-run home run to left field to score Channy Ortiz to cut the Goldeyes’ lead to 3-2.

Another couple of doubles extended the Goldeyes lead in the bottom of the fourth. Jake McMurray sent one down into the right field corner to score Croes from first base as he narrowly evaded the tag at the plate. Catcher Kevin García joined in the fun, lashing a two-bagger of his own down the right field line to bring McMurray home to make it 5-2.

Offenses quieted down for the middle innings, but the Goldeyes struck again in the bottom of the seventh when Simington drove in Enríquez with a sacrifice fly to centre field to make it 6-2. It was Simington’s second run batted in of the night, giving him 35 on the season.

Another Winnipeg All-Star, Travis Seabrooke (W, 4-1), had a fantastic night on the mound as he threw seven innings while allowing just two runs on four hits while striking out five.

Monarchs’ starter Kevin Milam (L, 1-3) didn’t make it past the fourth inning, giving up five runs on eight hits as the Goldeyes jumped on him early.

The Goldeyes now head down to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to face the Canaries on Friday evening at 7:05 p.m. CDT. Winnipeg will send Landen Bourassa (4-3, 2.90) to the mound to face Sioux Falls righty Christian Johnson (1-0, 2.73).

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:30 p.m. The video stream of all games is also available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

Well-Rounded Effort Leads Goldeyes to Win Over Monarchs

Thu, 11 Jul 2024 04:05:04 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (28-26) used a strong pitching performance and timely insurance runs to down the Kansas City Monarchs 5-4 in game two of their three-game set at Blue Cross Park Wednesday evening.

Box Score

A two-run eighth inning turned out to be the difference maker as the Goldeyes clinched a series win over the Monarchs (23-27).

The Goldeyes opened the scoring early as Ramón Bramasco scored on a double play to make it 1-0 in the first inning.

Nothing would come across until the fourth inning when Rob Emery walloped a solo home run that traveled 415 feet to deep left field to make it 2-0. That was Emery’s eighth home run of the season, which has him just one back of the lead among American Association catchers.

The lead would not last, however, as the Monarchs would knot things up on a blast of their own in the fifth inning. A two-run home run down the right-field line from Herbert Iser made it 2-2 after the previous batter, Bryan Aguilar, recorded Kansas City’s first hit of the game.

The Goldeyes were not discouraged by the Monarchs’ top half, as they returned the favour in the bottom of the fifth as Bramasco scored his second run of the game on a Miles Simington single to centre field to give Winnipeg a 3-2 lead.

That third run would chase Monarchs starter Jackson Goddard (L, 0-4) who lasted just 4.2 innings in the loss. He allowed three runs on seven hits while walking two and striking out three.

Adding some much-needed insurance in the eighth inning, the Goldeyes plated two more to make it 5-2. A Keshawn Lynch single scored Simington, followed by Dayson Croes coming across on a wild pitch from Monarchs reliever Jackson McClelland.

The lead would be enough to prop up yet another fantastic performance from Goldeyes All-Star pitcher Joey Matulovich (W, 6-2). He twirled a gem, allowing just the two runs on two hits while striking out five.

Things got a little dicey in the ninth inning, as the Monarchs tacked two more runs on after a Frankie Tostado triple scored one, with Tostado coming around shortly after on a throwing error.

The threat would not come to pass, as Nick Trogrlic-Iverson (S, 4) would shut the door in the ninth to earn the save.

“It was a good game, obviously Joey Matulovich continues to be fantastic. He gave up a weak hit and then the home run on an 0-2 count and that was all the damage done to him,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “Offensively we came up with some of those clutch hits that we’ve been talking about. Keshawn Lynch came up big in the eighth and it ended up being the difference.”

The Goldeyes will look for the series sweep over the Monarchs Thursday at 6:30 p.m. CDT as big left-hander Travis Seabrooke (3-1, 3.21 ERA) takes the mound for Winnipeg. Kansas City will counter with righty Kevin Milam (1-2, 7.04 ERA).

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 21:01:23 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – Held hitless for the first five innings, the Winnipeg Goldeyes (27-26) erupted for six runs in the sixth and went on to defeat the Kansas City Monarchs 7-3 at Blue Cross Park Tuesday evening.

Box Score

Kansas City (23-27) opened the scoring with two out in the top of the second inning when left fielder Joe Suozzi’s base hit to right field scored shortstop Josh Bissonette.

Monarchs’ starter Michael Watson’s no-hit bid was broken up by centre fielder Miles Simington ’s leadoff single in the bottom of the sixth, after which the Goldeyes rallied. With one out, Winnipeg tied the contest on first baseman Jake McMurray ’s single to right field that drove in Simington. A string of RBI singles ensued, with the Goldeyes taking the lead when designated hitter Ryan Holgate brought in catcher Rob Emery with a base hit to centre. Shortstop Andy Armstrong and right fielder Max Murphy also singled in runs in the inning, while left fielder Roby Enríquez knocking in a pair.

Winnipeg extended their lead in the sixth on a two-out single to centre by third baseman Ramón Bramasco that scored second baseman Dayson Croes .

Kansas City reduced the Goldeyes’ lead to four in the top of the seventh inning thanks to first baseman Frankie Tostado’s double to right field that plated Suozzi, while right fielder Ross Adolph crossed the plate on second baseman Trent Giambrone’s groundout to second.

Zac Reininger (W, 5-3) worked into the eighth inning and allowed three runs on ten hits. Zack Leban (L, 1-2) gave up five runs on five hits in just two thirds of an inning and was charged with the loss.

Earlier Tuesday the Goldeyes signed right-handed reliever Michael Krauza , whose previous American Association stops include Chicago, Cleburne, and Houston.

The series continues at 6:30 p.m. CDT Wednesday at Blue Cross Park, when Winnipeg’s Joey Matulovich (5-2, 2.53 ERA) matches up against the Monarchs’ Jackson Goddard (0-3, 5.95 ERA).

Four Goldeyes Named to West Division All-Star Team

brian@goldeyes.com (Brian Finlayson) — Tue, 09 Jul 2024 20:55:07 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The American Association announced Monday that Winnipeg Goldeyes infielder Dayson Croes and catcher Rob Emery were chosen as starters for the West Division squad at the league’s upcoming All-Star Game. Pitchers Joey Matulovich and Travis Seabrooke were also selected as members of the West Division pitching staff.

Croes already has two All-Star Game selections in both of his first two seasons professionally with the Goldeyes. The Noord, Aruba native ranks among the league leaders in batting average at .329 and base hits (68). The league’s Rookie Position Player of the Year in 2023, Croes exceeded all expectations last season, hitting .351, good for fourth in the league, led the league with 135 hits, and had 67 RBIs.

Emery is in his first season with the Goldeyes and is shining behind the plate and with the bat. Among American Association catchers, Emery ranks second in home runs (7), third in batting average (.285), and fourth in RBI (39). Signed as a free agent by the San Francisco Giants in 2021, Emery was called up to Class-AAA Tacoma on two occasions in 2022 and 2023. The 27-year-old played the bulk of last season with the Richmond Flying Squirrels of the Class-AA Eastern League and the Class-A Advanced Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League.

Matulovich has been near the top of the leaderboard in most pitching statistics in 2024, earning him a spot on the West Division squad. He currently holds the league lead in strikeouts (75), sits third in ERA (2.53), and is among the league leaders in wins (5). Now in his second season with the Goldeyes, Matulovich finished 2023 with a 5-9 record and a 3.93 earned run average in 20 starts. His 121 strikeouts were just three shy of the league lead, and he ranked fifth with 116.2 innings pitched. The 27-year-old was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 20th round of the 2018 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft out of the University of California (Berkeley, California).

Seabrooke, now in his fourth season with the Goldeyes, has spent the season among the league leaders in ERA (3.21) after a fantastic start to 2024. In 2023, Seabrooke posted a 6-6 record with a 6.30 earned run average. He also represented Canada at the WBSC Americas Pan Am Games Qualifier in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Seabrooke was selected out of high school by the Baltimore Orioles in the fifth round of the 2013 Major League Baseball June Amateur Draft.

The Kansas City Monarchs will host this year’s All-Star Game in Kansas City, Kansas on July 23. Players were chosen by representatives of each club.

The Goldeyes take on those same Monarchs in game two of a three-game series at 6:30 p.m. CDT Wednesday at Blue Cross Park, when Matulovich (5-2, 2.53 ERA) matches up against the Monarchs’ Jackson Goddard (0-3, 5.95 ERA).

Trevor Curl will have the pregame show on CJNU 93.7 FM and cjnu.ca at 6:00 p.m. The game will also be broadcast in French on L’Univers de L’Info with Yanick LaRoche handling the play-by-play. The video stream of all games is available free of charge at AABaseball.TV .

RedHawks Make Early Lead Stand to Take Series

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Sun, 07 Jul 2024 11:14:43 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (30-21) jumped out to a five-run lead and defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 8-5 at Blue Cross Park Sunday afternoon. Fargo-Moorhead won the series two games to one.

Box Score

Right fielder Ismael Alcántara gave the RedHawks a 1-0 lead in the top of the third inning with a double down the left field line that scored catcher Parker Stroh.

The visitors extended their lead to three with two out in the fourth when left fielder Jake Hjelle hit a two-run home run to left.

Fargo-Moorhead added a pair in the fifth inning on Alcántara’s two-run homer to left field that made it 5-0.

The Goldeyes (26-26) got those two runs back in the bottom of the inning courtesy of a two-run single to left by left fielder Miles Simington . Designated hitter Ramón Bramasco and first baseman Roby Enríquez came around to score and it was 5-2 RedHawks.

Fargo-Moorhead First baseman Marcus Chiu drove in second baseman Peter Brookshaw and designated hitter Drew Ward with a double to left field in the top of the eighth inning before Chiu came home on third baseman C.J. Valdez’s single to left that made it 8-2.

Again, the Goldeyes replied in their next at-bat, with centre fielder Cadyn Schwabe driving a single to centre that knocked in catcher Rob Emery . Third baseman Dayson Croes then sprinted home on Bramasco’s sacrifice fly to left to cut the RedHawks’ lead to 8-4.

Winnipeg managed to score one more run with two out in the bottom of the ninth inning when right fielder Max Murphy crossed the plate as the result of Croes’ base hit to left. However, Fargo-Moorhead closer Alex DuBord was able to retire the next batter, second baseman Keshawn Lynch to end the ballgame.

Nile Ball (W, 1-0), who was making his first start for the RedHawks gave up two runs on six hits in five innings of work. He struck out five and issued three free passes.

Colton Eastman (L, 2-8) allowed five runs – all earned – on seven hits over six innings. He fanned five and did not walk a batter. Tasker Strobel and Ben Onyshko appeared in relief for the Goldeyes.

Winnipeg, who left eight runners on base Saturday, stranded 11 more Sunday.

“It was a good battle today. Offensively we just didn’t come through with that clutch hit when it was needed,” said Goldeyes manager Logan Watkins . “It’s been a tough week, it’s always hard when you travel and there’s not an off day. You kind of roll right into the next series and the day off on Monday will really help us, especially to reset our bullpen.”

The Goldeyes are off Monday before opening a three-game series against the Kansas City Monarchs at Blue Cross Park Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. CDT. Right-hander Zac Reininger (4-3, 4.26 ERA) will start for Winnipeg, while Kansas City is expected to send lefty Michael Watson (0-1, 1.50 ERA) to the mound.

RedHawks Down Goldeyes to Even Series

jyoung@goldeyes.com (Jason Young) — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 13:53:00 GMT

WINNIPEG, MB – The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks (29-21) defeated the Winnipeg Goldeyes 6-1 at Blue Cross Park Saturday evening.

Box Score

The Goldeyes (26-25) took a 1-0 first inning lead on first baseman Rob Emery ’s single to shallow right field that drove in right fielder Roby Enríquez . It was Emery’s team-leading 39th run batted in of the season.

Fargo-Moorhead tied the game in the second when third baseman C.J. Valdez led off the inning with a home run to left-centre field.

The RedHawks scored three times in the top of the third inning to go ahead 4-1. First, Valdez hit a high chopper that came to rest just inside the third baseline, halfway between the plate and third. Right fielder Ismael Alcántara scored on the play. The next batter, centre fielder Kona Quiggle, lined a single to left field to bring in second baseman Peter Brookshaw and first baseman Marcus Chiu.

Fargo-Moorhead added two runs in the sixth on a single to right field by designated hitter Drew Ward. Shortstop Sam Dexter and catcher Jordan Siket scored, and the visitors led 6-1.

Orlando Rodríguez (W, 3-1) went 7.2 innings, giving up one run on nine hits and striking out two.

Goldeyes starter Ryder Yakel (L, 1-2) worked 5.2 innings and allowed six runs – five earned – on 13 hits. He fanned six. Winnipegger Logan Warkentin entered in the sixth and pitched 2.1 scoreless innings.

“We knew going into this one that we were extremely shorthanded pitching-wise with everything that’s gone on in the past few days,” said Winnipeg manager Logan Watkins . “We needed to reset the bullpen and it was good to be able to give Tasker Strobel and Ben Onyshko the day off. Offensively, we had our chances but couldn’t quite get the clutch hits that we needed. Overall, it was a pretty good game.”

WINNIPEG, MB – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (26-24) hit three home runs in defeating the Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks 5-1 at Blue Cross Park Friday evening. The Goldeyes have slammed nine long balls in the past two games.

Box Score

Right fielder Max Murphy got Winnipeg on the board in the bottom of the first with a single to right field that drove in left fielder Roby Enríquez . Two batters later, catcher Rob Emery smacked a two-out, two-run home run to left to make the score 3-0. It was Emery’s seventh dinger of the season and third in the last three contests.

An inning later, third baseman Ramón Bramasco hit a two-out solo shot down the right field line to extend the Goldeyes’ lead to four. Bramasco – who belted a pair of four-baggers in Sioux City Thursday – had only hit two previous home runs in his professional career.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Murphy hit a solo blast to left – his ninth of the campaign – to make the score 5-0.

Fargo-Moorhead’s (28-21) lone run came in the top of the seventh when right fielder Ismael Alcántara came in on second baseman Peter Brookshaw’s sacrifice fly to left field.

Winnipeg starter Landen Bourassa was forced to exit after only three innings, having been struck in the right elbow by a line drive off the bat of RedHawks left fielder Evan Alexander. Nick Trogrlic-Iverson (W, 4-2) was awarded the victory in a scorer’s decision. He worked four innings and gave up one run on just one hit. Tasker Strobel and Ben Onyshko – the third Canadian pitcher of the game for the Goldeyes – each contributed a scoreless frame.

Colten Davis (L, 4-3) started for Fargo-Moorhead and surrendered five runs – all earned – on seven hits over five innings.

Earlier Friday the Goldeyes made two roster moves. Outfielder Ryan Holgate was activated from the Injured List while outfielder Braxton Turner was released.

The series continues Saturday at 6:00 p.m. CDT with Ryder Yakel (1-1, 3.28 ERA) making a spot start for Winnipeg. Orlando Rodríguez (2-1, 3.63 ERA) is expected to take the mound for the RedHawks.
