- Ryan Jackson was 1-for-4.
- Matt Adams was 0-for-4.
- Oscar Taveras was 1-for-4.
- Tyler Lyons started and pitched 3 innings. He allowed 3 hits and 1 run while walking 1. He, impressively, struck out 5 including a 1-2-3 punchout in the 1st inning.
- Not a good outing for David Kopp who walked 2 and allowed 3 hits for 3 runs.

Ryan Jackson went from batting at the end of the line up to batting third yesterday, which is hopefully due to his nice start.
Eligibility Rules
The eligibility rules to play in the AFL are simple.
The roster size is 30 players per team.
Each Major League organization is required to provide six players subject to the following requirements:
All Triple-A and Double-A players are eligible, provided the players are on at least a Double-A level roster no later than Aug. 1.
One player below the Double-A level is allowed per Major League team.
One foreign player is allowed, as long as the player does not reside in a country that participates in winter ball, as part of the Caribbean Confederation or the Australian winter league.
No players with more than one year of credited Major League service as of August 31 are eligible, except a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 Draft.
To be eligible, players on Minor League disabled lists must be activated at least 45 days before the conclusion of their respective seasons.
I was trying to figure out what level the Arizona fall league would be considered and I found the above from MLB but this does not seem to make sense with who the Cardinals sent. Taveras is the foreign born player but aren’t Butler, Wright, and Lyons all from A ball?
This is interesting, are these current rules since they abolished the Hawaiin league?
Kopp reminds me of Boggs, hard throwing righty comes out of the gate all amped up.
I have been following Team USA. Chuckie Fick has thrown 3.1 shut out innings. Which is better, the AZ fall league or pitching for the Red, White and Blue. Keep it up Chuckie. Great opportunity for you. Make Springfield proud.
Arizona is more of a showcase league, from what I have been told.
Chuckie is the real deal, he needs his chance, not sure what else he has to prove.
The eligibility rules for the AFL were changed this year (per John Vuch) and have not been updated on the league website.
