Brujan, batting from the left side of the plate, hit his second homer of the AFL in the fourth inning, a 406-foot blast that also had an 102.6 mph exit velocity. Brujan, a 21-year-old whom the Rays signed in 2014, also singled earlier in the game, but was caught stealing third base. After his 2-for-5 night at the plate, Brujan is hitting .250 in Arizona.
Lowe put together a strong night at the plate and led all batters in the game with three hits. The 21-year-old, a first-round pick from the 2016 Draft, not only tripled, but he collected a pair of singled and also reached once via an error. Lowe finished the night 3-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs, and he's now batting .294.
Baz was roughed up in his Fall League debut (six runs in 1 2/3 innings) but was dominant on Sunday night. Baz, whom the Rays acquired via a trade from the Pirates, walked the first batter he faced, but then struck out five in a row -- all via fastballs, including one at 99.1 mph -- and picked a guy off to complete two innings. The 20-year-old, a first-round pick from the 2017 Draft (Pirates), spent the entire season with Class A Bowling Green and pitched to a 2.99 ERA with 87 strikeouts over 87 1/3 innings (17 starts).
Greg Deichmann, OF and Alfonso Rivas, 1B,Athletics Nos. 17 and 25 Deichmann headlined Mesa’s offense with his 3-for-4, four-RBI showing. The 2017 second-round Draft pick hit a two-run homer, his first of the fall, in the fourth inning, came through with an RBI double in the eighth and then tied the game up with a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth. Following Deichmann’s sacrifice fly, Alfonso Rivas sent everyone home with a two-out, walk-off double. Rivas, who is hitting .300 in the AFL, finished just 1-for-4, but that hit was obviously a big one. More »
Daniel Lynch, LHP and Brewer Hicklen, OF,Royals Nos. 3 and 15 Lynch is in Arizona making up for some lost innings after he missed over a month of the regular season. Working quickly, the left-hander tossed three shutout innings, allowing three hits and striking out four while not walking a batter.
Hicklen picked a good time to collect his first hit of the AFL season. He had gone 0 for his first 10 until he gave Surprise what ended up being a 2-1 win with a one-out home run in the top of the ninth inning on Sunday.
Royce Lewis, SS,Twins No. 1 Lewis got things started with a two-run homer in the first inning, his second homer of the Fall League. Lewis crushed the fifth pitch he saw out to left field and the no-doubter left his bat at 106.9 mph. Lewis, who ended up reaching three times and scoring twice, singled in the second inning and drew a walk in the ninth to complete his 2-for-4 performance. The Twins’ top prospect is hitting .333 in the AFL, but it’s his defensive positioning that's garnering attention. The shortstop has already played a game in center field and two at third base.
Jerar Encarnacion, OF,Marlins No. 17 Encarnacion came through with a booming RBI double -- one that had a 105.9 mph exit velocity -- in the right-center-field gap in the first inning. He also drew a pair of walks and finished 1-for-3 with a run scored. Encarnacion is hitting well in Arizona, posting a .357 average and showing solid power in batting practice.
Trey Harris, OF,Braves No. 18 Harris has impressed early in the Fall League and boosted his average up to .400 with a 2-for-2 night at the plate. Harris singled in each of his first two at-bats, drew a walk in his third plate appearance and then finished his night with a sacrifice fly.
