Final Thoughts
Rhys Hoskins continues to figure things out at this level, launching his fourth homer of the week.
It was great to see the team go away from Tommy Joseph in favor of giving Jorge Alfaro more at-bats. Joseph’s average has sunk into the .230’s, and he’s showing more and more that he’s not an everyday player.
