"\"&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#8217;s been a &lt;strong&gt;Lastings Milledge &lt;\\/strong&gt;sighting, &lt;strong&gt;Mat Gamel&amp;#8217;s &lt;\\/strong&gt;hitting streak continued in the year of the hitting streak and &lt;strong&gt;Drew Naylor &lt;\\/strong&gt;is becoming a New York-Penn League star.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\n&lt;strong&gt;Triple-A&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adam Boeve &lt;\\/strong&gt;hit his first Triple-A home run of the season after being promoted from Double-A Altoona. &lt;strong&gt;Bryan Bullington &lt;\\/strong&gt;picked up his 10th win for Indianapolis despite giving up six runs in 5 1\\/3 innings.&lt;span id=\\\"more-35224\\\"&gt;&lt;\\/span&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.democratandchronicle.com\\/apps\\/pbcs.dll\\/article?AID=\\/20070705\\/SPORTS\\/70705025\\/1007\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Garrett Jones &lt;\\/strong&gt;hit a pair of doubles and a triple&lt;\\/a&gt; as Rochester beat Ottawa.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.charlotte.com\\/456\\/story\\/186759.html \\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brian Anderson &lt;\\/strong&gt;homered twice&lt;\\/a&gt; and recent acquisition &lt;strong&gt;Danny Richar &lt;\\/strong&gt;added a homer of his own to help Charlotte beat Columbus 11-6. Anderson drove in six runs overall thanks in part to a grand slam. The White Sox also announced that &lt;strong&gt;Gavin Floyd &lt;\\/strong&gt;has been promoted to Chicago to start the second game of a doubleheader against the Twins tonight.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.statesman.com\\/sports\\/content\\/sports\\/stories\\/other\\/07\\/06\\/0706express.html\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mitch Maier&lt;\\/strong&gt; is loving July&lt;\\/a&gt;. The Omaha center fielder went 3-for-5 on Thursday, raising his average for July to .520 (13 for 25). It wasn&amp;#8217;t enough for Omaha however as Round Rock won a shootout 14-11. &lt;strong&gt;Cody Ransom&lt;\\/strong&gt;, the one-time light hitting Giants shortstop prospect has turned into a hard-hitting Round Rock utilityman. Playing third base, Ransom hit his 14th home run of the season, raising his batting average to .272 and his slugging percentage to .490. Ransom&amp;#8217;s career minor league batting average coming into the season was .237.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Anyone looking for a sign that &lt;strong&gt;Phillip Humber &lt;\\/strong&gt;is getting closer to the majors just has to keep on looking. The former Mets first-rounder has been extremely consistent this season, but consistency doesn&amp;#8217;t equate with effectiveness. Humber allowed three earned runs in 4 2\\/3 innings on Thursday raising his ERA to 4.48. The righthander has an ERA between 4.15 and 4.76 in April, May and June. &lt;strong&gt;Buck Coats &lt;\\/strong&gt;led the hot-hitting Iowa club with four hits including a double and home run. The Des Moines Register also notes that &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/desmoinesregister.com\\/apps\\/pbcs.dll\\/article?AID=\\/20070706\\/SPORTS1402\\/707060400\\/1003\\/SPORTS&amp;#038;lead=1\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cory Bailey &lt;\\/strong&gt;made his first start\\u00a0 in 666 minor league appearances&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;br \\/&gt;\\nMemphis won for the first time in 10 home games thanks in part to &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.commercialappeal.com\\/mca\\/redbirds\\/article\\/0,2673,MCA_22116_5617348,00.html\\\"&gt;home runs by &lt;strong&gt;Rick Ankiel&lt;\\/strong&gt; and&lt;\\/a&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.commercialappeal.com\\/mca\\/redbirds\\/article\\/0,2673,MCA_22116_5617348,00.html\\\"&gt;Joe Mather&lt;\\/a&gt;.&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;On Sunday &lt;strong&gt;Wladimir Balentien &lt;\\/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt; Craig Stansberry&lt;\\/strong&gt; will be teammates on the World team in the Futures Game. Both showed glimpses of why they were selected on Thursday. &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/blog.oregonlive.com\\/sportsupdates\\/2007\\/07\\/ramirez_rips_through_beavers.html\\\"&gt;Balentien doubled and tripled&lt;\\/a&gt; while Stansberry homered in Tacoma&amp;#8217;s 6-1 win over Portland.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Bowie fans got to see a pair of top pitching prospects, although a doubleheader meant they didn&amp;#8217;t get to face off. Thanks to &lt;strong&gt;Chuck Lofgren&amp;#8217;s &lt;\\/strong&gt;pitching, A&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.ohio.com\\/mld\\/beaconjournal\\/sports\\/17462543.htm\\\"&gt;kron won the opener while &lt;strong&gt;Radhames Liz &lt;\\/strong&gt;led Bowie&lt;\\/a&gt; to a win in the nightcap.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Luke Hochevar&amp;#8217;s &lt;\\/strong&gt;struggles continued on Thursday. &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.caller.com\\/news\\/2007\\/jul\\/06\\/hooks-double-wranglers\\/\\\"&gt;Hochevar gave up seven hits and five runs&lt;\\/a&gt; in four innings, raising his ERA to 4.69 in a loss to Corpus Christi.

Hart allowed only one hit in six innings while Inman gave up three runs in 5 2\\/3 innings.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.al.com\\/sports\\/huntsvilletimes\\/index.ssf?\\/base\\/sports\\/118371347855460.xml&amp;#038;coll=1\\\"&gt;Tyler Colvin&lt;\\/a&gt;&lt;\\/strong&gt; &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.al.com\\/sports\\/huntsvilletimes\\/index.ssf?\\/base\\/sports\\/118371347855460.xml&amp;#038;coll=1\\\"&gt;hit his first Double-A home run&lt;\\/a&gt; while &lt;strong&gt;Jake Fox &lt;\\/strong&gt;added one as well.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High Class A&lt;\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Jeff Samardzija&lt;\\/strong&gt; allowed one run in six innings as he outdueled &lt;strong&gt;Deolis Guerra&lt;\\/strong&gt;.

Ward is 2-11 this season, but it&amp;#8217;s more because of bad luck than bad pitching. Ward threw six shutout innings to lower his ERA to 3.08, but wasn&amp;#8217;t involved in the decision in Dunedin&amp;#8217;s 2-1 win over Fort Myers.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.floridatoday.com\\/apps\\/pbcs.dll\\/article?AID=\\/20070706\\/SPORTS\\/707060353\\/1002\\/SPORTS\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mat Gamel&amp;#8217;s &lt;\\/strong&gt;hitting streak reached 32 games&lt;\\/a&gt; as he homered in Brevard County&amp;#8217;s 12-3 loss to Jupiter.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.myrtlebeachonline.com\\/sports\\/story\\/120821.html\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Justin Maxwell&amp;#8217;s &lt;\\/strong&gt;10th-inning home run&lt;\\/a&gt; gave Potomac a 6-5 win over Myrtle Beach. &lt;strong&gt;Eric Campbell&lt;\\/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Chris Marrero &lt;\\/strong&gt;also&lt;strong&gt; &lt;\\/strong&gt;homered.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.vvdailypress.com\\/sports\\/quakes_1743___article.html\\/innings_mavericks.html\\\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chris Pettit&lt;\\/strong&gt; had probably the best night of anyone around the minor&lt;\\/a&gt;s.

Polanco had a 9.45 ERA as recently as last Saturday, but he put together his second straight strong start, holding Rome to one hit in seven innings.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Omar Poveda &lt;\\/strong&gt;has quietly been one of the best starters in the Midwest League this season. &lt;a target=\\\"_blank\\\" href=\\\"http:\\/\\/www.oursportscentral.com\\/services\\/releases\\/?id=3501621\\\"&gt;Poveda was at it again last night&lt;\\/a&gt; as he limited Quad Cities to two hits in seven shutout innings while striking out seven.

The 21-year-old Aussie signed with the Phillies in 2004, but didn&amp;#8217;t make it over to the U.S until last year.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;GCL Red Sox leadoff hitter &lt;strong&gt;Che-Hsuan Lin&lt;\\/strong&gt;, an 18-year-old signed out of Taiwan, homered in the Red Sox&amp;#8217; 8-3 loss to the Orioles.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ernesto Mejia&lt;\\/strong&gt; had six hits and &lt;strong&gt;Adam Coe &lt;\\/strong&gt;added a pair of doubles in Danville&amp;#8217;s easy 15-3 win over Bristol.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The hottest team in baseball is traditional Appalachian League power Elizabethton. The Twins improved to 15-1 with an easy 6-1 win over Bluefield.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
