Cody Johnson homered twice, boosting his total to 11 on the season and Angels OF prospect Julio Perez homered and drove in six runs. Dodgers outfielder Scott Van Slyke homered for the fourth time and drove in four runs and minor league HR leader Joe Dunigan didn’t hit a longball, but drove in four runs.
In an unprecedented move, I am awarding a trio of players with today’s top performance award. Baltimore’s HIgh-A affiliate Frederick had three players that hit the snot out of the ball yesterday. 3B prospect Tyler Henson went 4-4 with three doubles, two RBI and five runs scored. On the other side of the diamond resides towering 1B prospect Billy Rowell. The former 1st rounder’s bat is really starting to sizzle as testified by his 3-5 day which saw two balls leave the yard and five RBI. Finally, ’08 draftee SS Bobby Stevens went 5-5 with two HR four RBI and three runs scored in just his eighth game of the season.
