The Midwest League is notorious for dampening the power of young hitters. Apparently no one told that to Isan Diaz.
The Brewers' No. 11 prospect slugged a pair of home runs on Saturday, including a walk-off shot to propel Class A Wisconsin past Lake County, 9-8. Diaz also hit a triple in the contest en route to finishing 3-for-4, while his six RBIs represented a new career high.
After drawing a walk in his first plate appearance, Diaz plated Wisconsin's second run of the game with an RBI triple in the third inning. The left-handed hitter blasted a three-run homer to the opposite field in his third trip to the plate, and, after striking out in the seventh inning, he gave the Timber Rattlers the win when he connected on a two-run shot to center field in the bottom of the ninth.

Overall, Diaz his hitting .266/.345/.476 through 96 games for Wisconsin in his full-season debut.

"I felt pretty good coming into today's start," Weigel told MiLB.com. "Me and catcher [Jonathan] Morales had a good game plan to establish the fastball early. Our offense came out and put a lot of runs up early. From that point, it was just about filling up the strike zone and pitching to contact.
"I'd be lying if I said [the no-hitter] didn't cross my mind," he said. "I definitely was aware of what was going on. But you know, I went 3-1 to Munoz and he put a good swing on the ball and got the hit. And from there on out, it was about trying to get to the end of the game and finish it out."
• Royals No. 27 prospect Eric Skoglund hurled six innings of one-hit ball as Double-A Northwest Arkansas lost to Springfield, 3-1. The 6-foot-7 southpaw issued three walks and struck out four, with 60 of his 92 pitches going for strikes in the outing.
