Minor League Ball Gameday: Monday, April 14

Welcome to the Gameday everyone! Let's get to the goodies. Joey Gallo and Jon Singleton both dominated offensively for their respective clubs. Gallo was in control of almost every plate appearance last night for Myrtle Beach (A+), going 1-2 with three walks, his fourth home run, and the obligatory strike out. Singleton also blasted his fourth bomb of the year, adding a double, single, and a walk in five trips to the dish. He scored once and drove in two for Oklahoma City (AAA). Rafael Montero carried a no-no through six frames for Las Vegas (AAA), ending with two runs, two hits and two walks allowed in 6.1 innings. He struck out four, gave up a long ball to Adam Duvall, got nine outs on the ground and three in the air. 57 of his 87 pitches found the strike zone, 30 were called balls and he took home his second win of the year.
