It might have been raining cats and dogs along the East Coast on Thursday night, but it was only raining dingers on Friday. Top prospects Colson Montgomery and Jacob Gonzalez each got their first home runs of the season, while Edgar Quero was able to power two out on his own. On top of that, Dylan Thorpe continued his strong start to the season on the mound, helping Double-A Birmingham get the victory.
All that and more in today’s minor league recap!
