The Birmingham Barons' six-game win streak ended with a 1-0 loss to the Chattanooga Lookouts. The team holds a league-leading 65-41 record, driven by a strong performance in the past month, going 22-3 in their last 25 games. The Barons rank last in home runs but lead in batting average and hits. Their success is complemented by exceptional pitching, boasting a 2.77 team ERA. White Sox general manager Chris Getz praised the team’s development environment and the leadership of Manager Guillermo Quiroz.
"What they have been able to do is incredible," White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday in Chicago. "[Manager Guillermo Quiroz] has done a great job with that club."
"You look at the pitchers we have, whether it be Hagen [Smith], Tanner McDougal, some of the bullpen arms. And an offense in [William] Bergolla and Braden [Montgomery is down there too. On a regular basis, they are finding ways to win ballgames and winning is part of the development at the Minor League level."
"To have that environment for players, to show up every day knowing they have a chance to win is really a positive. And hats off to those guys. It's been fun watching them on a nightly basis."
