Miguel Gomez 2B- 1 for 4, HR(4).  BA= .293.

Caleb Simpson RHP- 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K's.  ERA= 1.82.

Luigi!  Conner Menez had a successful AA debut.  He had previously made 2 appearances for Sacramento River Cats.  I believe this is an official promotion and not just a spot start. He had 70 K's and 21 BB in 50 IP for San Jose prior to this promotion.

Short Season  Salem-Keizer Volcanoes buried the Tri-City Dust Devils 9-8:

Kyle McPherson SS- 2 for 4.  BA= .500.

Norwith Gudino RHP- 5 IP, 5 H, 4 R, 0 BB, 5 K's.  ERA= 7.20.

In case you are wondering who Trevor Abrams is, he's listed as 6'4", 215 lbs. Signed as an undrafted FA last year out of Sonoma St.  He played 2 seasons in 2014 and 2015 for St Mary's then sat out 2016 before playing 2017 for Sonoma St.  He hit .293 for Sonoma St.  He also hit very well in collegiate summer leagues for the Santa Barbara Foresters and SD Force.  He could be a deep sleeper prospect with size to have some upside.
