International League (AAA) - Lehigh Valley 7 (24-29) Buffalo 6 (26-27)
Buffalo, NY - Sahlen Field
How they scored :
Buffalo scored three runs in the second inning - two on a home run by former Phillies minor leaguer William Simoneit. A single and double scored another run.
Steward Berroa doubled in the third inning, he scored on a double by Felix Reyes. Gabriel Rincones Jr singled to score Reyes.
Buffalo scored twice in the bottom of the third on a home run by Riley Tirotta.
Felix Reyes homered in the fifth inning.
A walk, stolen base and single scored a run for Buffalo in the sixth.
Felix Reyes reached on a throwing error to lead off the eighth, he went to second on a single by Gabriel Rincones Jr and scored on a double play ground out by Liover Peguero.
Dylan Carlson walked in the ninth, he scored on a double by Robert Moore. Felix Reyes hit a two run home run.
At Bat : 7 R, 9 H, 2 BB, 6 K’s
Felix Reyes went 3 for 4 (double, two HR’s) with four RBIs and four runs scored 👀. Gabriel Rincones Jr went 3 for 5 (two singles & double) with an RBI. Steward Berroa and Robert Moore each doubled.
So … I truly like Adolis Garcia but if his offensive struggles continue what if the answer is right under the nose 🥸 - a combination of Reyes/Rincones Jr - they wouldn’t be near the defensive prowess of Adolis but they can both hit if given extended opportunities - just sayin 🧐.
