It just dawned on me that the Angels have two farm clubs called "The Bees" this year.
Iowa Cubs
The Iowa Cubs downed the Sacramento River Cats (Athletics), 2-1.
Because Jake Arrieta is scheduled to start tomorrow's game at Wrigley, Casey Coleman got his first start of the season and he didn't waste it, grabbing his fourth win of the year. Coleman allowed only one hit over five scoreless innings. He did not walk anyone and struck out five.
Center fielder Jae-Hoon Ha hit a solo home run in the fifth inning to give Iowa a 2-0 lead. It was Ha's fifth home run of the season and fourth for Iowa. Ha was 2 for 3 with a walk.
Tennessee Smokies
The Tennessee Smokies eluded the Chattanooga Lookouts (Dodgers), 6-2.
Dae-Eun Rhee improved his record to 4-1 by allowing only two runs on seven hits over 6.1 innings. He struck out two and walked two.
Shortstop Javier Baez was 2 for 4 with two doubles. He had three total RBI and scored one run.
Third baseman Christian Villanueva did Baez one better. Villanueva was 2 for 3 with two doubles and a walk. He had one RBI.
Right fielder John Andreoli went 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored.
Second baseman Arismendy Alcantara had a sacrifice bunt and three walks in four trips to the plate. He scored two runs, including one on a straight steal of home.
Daytona Cubs
The Daytona Cubs split a doubleheader with the Clearwater Threshers (Phillies). They won game one 5-1 and lost the second game 2-0.
In the first game. Ben Wells pitched the first 5.1 innings and allowed only one run on six hits. He did walk two batters and did not strike anyone out.

Kane County Cougars
The Kane County Cougars got stung by the Burlington Bees (Angels), 5-4.
Starling Peralta got into trouble early, allowing four runs in the bottom of the first inning. But he settled down after that and pitched 5.1 innings and allowed only the four runs on four hits. One of the four runs was unearned. Peralta walked three and struck out four.
Michael Hamann walked the first batter of the bottom of the ninth inning and immediately sent him to third base on an errant pickoff throw. After intentionally walking the next two batters to load the bases, Hamman got one out on a force play at the plate, but then Matt Scioscia, the Angels manager's kid, ended the game with a walkoff single. Hamman's final line was one run on one hit over 1.1 innings. He walked three, two intentionally, and struck out one.
All four Cougars runs scored on home runs. In the fourth inning, right fielder Reggie Golden connected for his eighth home run with two men on. Golden was 1 for 3 with a walk.
