Colorado Springs, W 6-1

Tulsa, L 6-10
Cory Riordan allowed five runs on three homers (two solo, one three-run) in the fourth inning. Andy Graham allowed four more runs in the seventh inning (one scored when Chris Malone entered the game) and didn't record an out.
The offense score five runs in the second inning, as a bunch of singles and a Charlie Blackmon double drove in the runs. Blackmon singled in another run in the fourth inning.
UPDATE: As Bryan mentions in the comments, Wilin Rosario left the game with a leg injury. The Tulsa World reports that it's a knee injury.
Modesto, L 3-9

Tri-City, W 3-0
Chad Bettis twirled a gem last night, keeping Boise off the board for seven innings and striking out four. He had a 9-6 GO-FO and his ERA stands at 1.19. Chandler Laurent's homer to lead off the bottom of the first inning was enough to win the game, but Hector Gomez and Jeremiah Sammy each chipped in an RBI in the eighth.
Casper, W 10-6
Alving Mejias limited Orem to two runs in seven innings and struck out six. There was an offensive explosion.
