It wasn’t a great day in the system, but one jolt came from Tyler Fitzgerald, hitting a home run against rehabbing pitcher Noah Syndergaard during the latter’s rehab. Meanwhile, Kai-Wei Teng worked out of the bullpen, Vaun Brown continued to get key hits, and Diego Velasquez hit a huge home run in San Jose.
AAA: Oklahoma City 7, Sacramento 3
