‘This Week in the Minors’ is our weekly look at notable performances from all over the system, from big-name prospects and less-heralded guys alike. The mission is to answer this simple question: “Who had a good week?”
Today, we’ll cover results from Tuesday, August 2 through Sunday, August 8.
AAA Omaha Storm Chasers (47-35)
The Storm Chasers are clinging to a 1.5 game lead in the Midwest Division over Toledo, splitting their six games this week in Ohio against the Columbus Clippers.
