Triple-A Oklahoma City’s Gavin Stone continued a run of dominant, low-contact outings while performances at Double-A and lower levels produced both blowouts and bullpen issues for the Dodgers’ system.
Gavin Stone has allowed four hits in 11.2 innings across four Triple-A starts, with just one baserunner in his last two outings.
Oklahoma City split a doubleheader: Stone tossed scoreless innings but the Comets lost the other game 5-4 after a late bullpen collapse.
Lower levels showed clear pitching wins and offensive outbursts: Great Lakes produced a 2-0 shutout on strong pitching, and Ontario scored 13 runs in a 13-9 win with multiple multi-steal performances.
Gavin Stone continued his effective run for Triple-A Oklahoma City, allowing four hits in 11.2 innings over four starts. In his most recent two outings he yielded a single baserunner across seven innings, walking none. Stone's latest outing was scoreless and efficient, though limited to 58 pitches in an earlier appearance, which suggests workload management is still a factor.
The Comets split their doubleheader. In the game where Stone was dominant, reliever Nick Robertson surrendered runs in the sixth inning after Stone was removed, turning a lead into a deficit. The Comets briefly tied the game on a Hyeseong Kim sacrifice fly later in that frame, but they were outscored in the eighth and lost 5-4.
Tulsa beat Midland 8-4 behind multiple home runs. Josue De Paula hit his 26th homer of the season. The team's lower-order hitters also contributed long balls: ninth-hole hitter Joe Vetrano and seventh-hole Logan Wagner each went deep. Mike Sirota, a top prospect in the Drillers' outfield, went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts.
Starter Aidan Foeller issued a walk per inning through four frames but kept the scoreless streak intact while handing the game to the offense to build a lead.
Ontario's Tower Buzzers scored 13 runs in a 13-9 win over Stockton. Three players—Javier Herrera, Abel Lorenzo, and Kellon Lindsey—each recorded multiple stolen bases and were successful on all attempts. Caleb Johnson hit an early three-run home run, contributing to a 13-run outburst that had the Buzzers up 8-0 by the end of the third.
Shortstop Jonedry Vargas exited early after being hit in the wrist and was immediately replaced by a pinch runner. Starter Jack O'Connor and the relievers were not efficient, but the offensive cushion was decisive.
Oklahoma City will send Cole Irvin to face El Paso in the next scheduled game. Great Lakes, Tulsa, and Ontario also have upcoming matchups listed, and several pitchers in the system—including Miller and Stone—appear to be progressing in ways that could influence promotion or workload decisions.
