  • Frankie Tostado hit an absolute monster home run, his third of July.  He now has eight home runs on the season.

  • Carter Aldrete hit his second home run of the season, helping Eugene avoid the shutout.  The home run was Aldrete’s first extra-base hit since June 26th.

  • Nick Avila gave up a season-high ten hits and seven runs in a relief appearance, giving up a pair of home runs for the second straight game.  That’s four of his seven home runs from the season.
