Wednesday AAA Standouts
It’s near impossible to have a better day at the plate than Ronny Rodriguez had on Wednesday for Toledo. Rodriguez hit for the cycle, going 5-6, scoring 4 runs and driving in 5, and he even added a 2nd home run to the cycle.
Pulled with just one out left in the game, Cole Irvin pitched a tremendous outing on Wednesday for Lehigh Valley, going 8 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing 4 hits and a walk, striking out 6
