Minor League Ball Gameday: Tuesday, November 7th, 2017

Good morning everyone and welcome to the Minor League Ball Gameday discussion thread for Tuesday, November 7th, 2017. Here are some highlights from yesterday’s action in the Arizona Fall League.

*****San Diego Padres first base prospect Josh Naylor went 2-for-4 with two runs scored to help lead the Peoria Javelinas to a 4-3 win over the Glendale Desert Dogs. Seattle Mariners pitcher Max Povse gave up three runs over five innings while fanning four for the victors.

*****Pitching dominated the game between the Salt River Rafters and the Surprise Saguaros, with the Rafters winning 2-1. The only real offensive highlight was provided by Saguaros outfielder and Minnesota Twins prospect Lamonte Wade, who hit a home run.

*****New York Yankees infielder Thairo Estrada went 3-for-4 for the Scottsdale Scorpions while teammate Steven Duggar of the San Francisco Giants system went 2-for-4 with a home run; alas, the Scorpions still fell 5-2 to the Mesa Solar Sox, who rode a balanced offensive attack and four strong innings from Washington Nationals right-hander Kyle McGowin to the win.
