Stockton Ports v. San Jose Giants 6:00 PM PT
Ian Krol v. Andrew Romo
Notes: Both starters will be making their Cal League debut... Ian Krol had a 2.65 ERA in 118.2 IP with A Kane County... Krol signed for $925,000 as Oakland's 7th round pick in the 2009 draft... Andrew Romo signed with the Giants organization as an undrafted free agent last year... Romo is the younger brother of San Francisco reliever Sergio Romo...

Lancaster JetHawks v. High Desert Mavericks 7:05 PM PT
Kyle Greenwalt v. Maikel Cleto
Notes: Kyle Greenwalt allowed five runs in four innings in his last start... Despite a 7.35 second half ERA, Greenwalt has only been charged with one loss since the All Star break... Maikel Cleto has lost three starts... In his last start, Cleto walked six and allowed six runs in two innings... Game will be available on 1380 AM in Lancaster and 960 AM in High Desert as well as www.jethawks.com and www.milb.com...

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes v. Lake Elsinore Storm 7:05 PM PT
Garrett Richards v. Anthony Bass
Notes: Both teams are listed as TBA's, but these are my best guesses for starters... Garrett Richards has allowed at least five runs in two straight starts... Richards has at least six strikeouts in all three Cal League starts so far... Anthony Bass allowed five runs in 3.2 IP in his last start... It was the longest start for Bass since 7/14, a six start stretch... Game will be available on 1510 AM in Rancho Cucamonga and 92.9 FM in Lake Elsinore as well as www.rcquakes.com and www.milb.com...

Visalia Rawhide v. Modesto Nuts 7:05 PM PT
Pat McAnaney v. Parker Frazier
Notes: Both teams are listed as TBA's, but these are my best guesses for starters... Pat McAnaney was recently reassigned to Visalia, and he would be on regular rest... McAnaney made one starter earlier this year with Visalia... Three of Parker Frazier's starts with Modesto this year have been quality starts... One of the other two was against Visalia, and he allowed five runs in 5.1 IP... Game will be available on 1270 AM in Visalia as well as www.milb.com...

Inland Empire 66ers v. Bakersfield Blaze 7:15 PM PT
Aaron Miller v. Robbie Ross
Notes: Both teams are listed as TBA's, but these are my best guesses for starters... Aaron Miller has walked seven batters in nine innings since returning to Inland Empire... Miller made a start against Bakersfield in May and allowed one run in six innings... Robbie Ross hasn't made it through five innings in three of his seven starts with Bakersfield... Ross has 33 strikeouts to 10 walks in 36.1 IP with Bakersfield... Game will be available on 1050 AM in Inland Empire as well as www.kcaaradio.com and www.milb.com...
