Two prospects who have been left behind in a season where rookies have taken center stage had big home runs in Sacramento, especially a tie-breaking grand slam by Joey Bart that might still be flying. Ryan Murphy had a strong start in Richmond, with five scoreless innings, and Victor Bericoto and Logan Wyatt launched their own home runs.
AAA: Sacramento 6, Albuquerque 2
Top Sacramento Performances:
- Catcher Joey Bart led the way, going 2-for-4 with a huge tie-breaking grand slam that the radio broadcast described as if it was Bart “exorcising some demons”.
