Weekend in
Arizona
Singleton Plays
Hero
Real briefly, I
thought it would be good to catch up on what happened for the Twins minor
leaguers down in Arizona, in the Fall League, this weekend.
On Friday, the
Mesa Solar Sox lost to Surprise 7-3. Rene
Tosoni started in LF and was the leadoff hitter.
He went 1-4. Chris Parmelee
hit fifth and played 1B. He went 0-3 with a walk and is still looking for his
first hit. Spencer Steedley
came in threw 34 pitches, 17 for strikes. In 1.2 innings, he gave up no runs on
two hits and two walks. He struck out two. Steve
Hirschfeld came in to pitch the 6th
inning and struck out two in a 1-2-3 inning.
On Saturday
night, the Solar Sox played the Peoria Saguaros. They were down 4-1 going into
the bottom of the 7th. A two-run homer cut the lead to 4-3. Two
walks later, Steve Singleton came to
the plate and hit a long, three run homer to right field to give Mesa a 6-3
lead. Alex Burnett came in an struck out two in a scoreless 8th inning, and
they held on for win. Singleton batted second and played 2B. He was 2-5 in the
game.
It’s always fun to
see how the Twins prospect perform in the Arizona Fall
League, playing against many of baseball’s top prospects. Singleton is
certainly off to a strong start. So far, he is 5-14 with two doubles and a home
run. If you would like to share your thoughts, please
