Westburg had a good week last week.   Stowers with a homer on Sunday and one in the first inning tonight.   Stay tuned.

Some interesting happenings on Tuesday in the minors:

HRs for Stowers and Rutschman

Henderson with 2 HRs

John Rhodes stole his 9th base.  I didn't peg him as much of a speed guy.  Is this a new development?

Good night tonight.  Appears to be snapping out of his slump.

He’s been playing CF again tonight.  Been getting a lot of reps in CF recently.  

[ChuckS]

OPS up to .832.

One big night can make a big difference this early in the season.

Lot of people were jumping off the Stowers wagon. Now, the cries for a big league promotion could come soon.

First 3 hits against a LHP.  Seldom you see a hit like the first double reach the wall.  The homer was a no doubter.  Look at the RF's reaction.  The dude is impressive when he makes solid contact.

The dude has Thor power. He is fun to watch when he’s hot.

Yeah that HR was destroyed. Wow!!!  Looks like he’s settled into this season after a little slump.

He has been in triple digits all week, and just hit 111.2 on this afternoon's homerun.

Any chance they call him up late this summer?

[NelsonCruuuuuz]

Just hit his third homer in 3 consecutive at bats, wind is blowing out but still….

Three homers today and the game’s not over.  Yes, I’d say it’s possible.  

[Just Regular]

93.0, 111.2 and 101.5 exit velocities on the three homers.

1 strikeout in 5 PA today brings the year to 33 in about 140 PA, under 25%.

Good to see that each HR was off a different pitcher.

[Just Regular]

Dangerous slugger comparison - Cardinals Gorman call-up came after 50 strikeouts in 147 PA.

As nice a power prospect as Stowers is, Gorman probably another level.    They'll both have some Dave Kingman to them I imagine.

He’s playing CF again today.
