AAA: Game Postponed

Sacramento and Reno’s game was postponed due to air quality in Sacramento.  The weekend’s games had been moved from Reno to Sacramento for the same reason.

Richmond Notes:

  • David Villar’s hot streak continues, hitting another home run, his fourth in the last six games.  It was his 18th home run of the season, along with his 24th double.  The 18 home runs ties a Richmond single-season record. (The tweet gets the total wrong in a typo.)
  • Will Wilson hit his 5th home run, an opposite field shot, nudging his batting average up above .200 for the first time since mid-July.
  • Aaron Blair suffered through his roughest start of the season, with four walks and one hit allowed leading to two runs.
  • Simon Whiteman was hit by a pitch in the first inning, and though he stayed in to run the bases, he was removed in the top of the first.

High-A: Tri-City 4, Eugene 2
