Michael Stanton and Matt Dominguez homered in yesterday’s games as did Dominic Brown, Lonnie Chisenhall, Felix Carrasco, Charlie Blackmon, Thomas Neal, and Brandon Crawford. Tyler Robertson looks like his is on the comeback trail as he tossed five scoreless innings to earn his first win of ’09 and Duane Below tossed a hitless five innings allowing an unearned run and striking out seven.
Today’s top High-A player is Michael Burgess. The former 1st round pick has struggled mightily this season (.163 BA), but he belted his fourth HR of the season, driving in five and walking and scoring twice. Burgess has enormous power potential but is still learning how to reign in his plate discipline. The left handed slugger has walked seven time in his last ten games though, which gives reason to believe that he could make some progress as the season goes on.
