Recapping The Minors: July 30th

Trade deadline day! My favorite day of the year (until the Astros make the playoffs). It will be interesting to see which Astros leave Houston, and which prospects are brought into an already deep farm system. With no trades yesterday, the Astros system was relatively quiet. It was a 2-2 day with the RiverBandits being rained out. Here are the notable stat lines from last night’s games.
