The major storyline of the night in the minors was precipitated by Lance Berkman’s injury in Los Angeles.  After the injury, Matt Adams was immediately pulled from Memphis’ game, which would indicate an impending promotion to the big club.  Other than that, John Gast pitched decently well in his AAA debut and Michael Blazek was superb in relief as he picked up the win for Springfield.
