Alas, when the most interesting team in the farm system goes ahead and puts up a 14-spot on the opposition they're the Los Angeles Angels and just beat the Red Sox.
Sorry, sorry. Flashbacks.
As I was saying. When the most interesting team in the farm system goes ahead and puts up a 14-spot on the opposition, it'd be nice for the top two prospects in the organization to get more than one total plate appearance. No such luck tonight down in Portland, though Xander made the most of it. Fear not, though, he may have been out after one, but no reason for concern.
