Today's Game: The San Antonio Missions and Omaha Storm Chasers wrap up their five-game series this afternoon at Werner Park. They will complete yesterday's suspended game in its nine-inning entirety followed by a seven-inning affair. The suspended game will pick up in the bottom of the fifth inning with the scored tied at 7-7 and a 1-1 count on Omaha's Xavier Hernandez. Left-hander Angel Perdomo will start today's continuation of yesterday's suspended game for San Antonio. The Missions have not named a starter for this afternoon's regularly scheduled game while the Storm Chasers will turn to right-hander Josh Staumont.
Into the Deep: With Trent Grisham, Keston Hiura, and Lucas Erceg each going deep in Sunday's suspended game the Missions have now homered in seven straight games to set a new season-long stretch.
Hot Start: Trent Grisham has made his presence known in his first three games at the Triple-A level. He is the first San Antonio player this season to hit a home run in each of his first three games. Tyrone Taylor came close as he clubbed a home run in the season-opener and again in the third game of the season at Oklahoma City.
Bouncing Back: Saturday's loss marked the largest blown lead in a defeat this season for the Missions. San Antonio had gotten out to a four-run advantage after two innings before the Storm Chasers put up four runs in the third and two in the eighth to emerge victorious.
Stop It Before It Starts: San Antonio has limited the losing streaks this season. The Missions have dropped back-to-back games after Saturday night's defeat and have lost three games in a row just twice in 2019.
Approaching 2,000: Missions Manager Rick Sweet is coming up on career win number 2,000. His 1,998 career wins are good for 12th all-time and are the second most among active managers. Sweet would become the 12th manager in MiLB history to accumulate 2,000 wins. Single-A South Bend's Buddy Bailey is the active wins leader with 2,107. Sweet has a career record of 1,998-1,890.
