Down on the Farm: 5/14/2018

Tacoma Rainiers defeated the Sacramento River Cats 5-3:

Steven Duggar CF- 2 for 5, SB(5).  BA= .246.
Hunter Pence RF- 2 for 4.  BA= .316.
Ryder Jones 3B- 2 for 4, 2B.  BA= .270.

Steven Duggar has been slumping.  Hopefully this is the start of an upswing.  Hunter Pence is 6 for 11 since taking a break from his rehab stint to let his thumb heal some more.
