César Prieto has his sixth multi-hit games of the season. The infielder from Cienfuegos, Cuba had two hits, scored a run and stole a base in Bowie’s 4-2 loss to Richmond (AA). On the season the Cuban is slashing .403/.439/.516/.955 with a homer and six RBIs. Prieto might be making his major league debut if this trend continues.
In AAA Eddy Álvarez had two hits in four trips to the plate, scored three times and stole a base to highlight Nashville’s 8-3 thrashing of Omaha. The Cuban-American infielder is hitting a robust .364 on the campaign and could be knocking on MLB’s door.
In A+ ball Lázaro Armenteros hit his fifth longball of the season in Lansing’s 6-5 victory over Quad City. Although he struck out in his four other at-bats the outfielder drove in two runs and his hitting a solid .294 on the season.
From a first-inning Lazarito dinger to a 10th-inning walk-off, tonight's game was a thrilling way to open the homestand!
