You’d better have your hitting shoes on if you wanted to get highlighted in Minor Lines on this day — because this was a day for offense! One for four with a dinger? I mean, nice day and all, feel good about yourself — but you’re not getting into the rundowns with that kind of line! Not when we have guys going yard multiple times in their pro debut! Not when we have guys knocking in half a dozen runs! Oh no, this was a day for going over and beyond in order to squeeze into the highlights. If we add in Wilmer Flores and the big boys, the nine clubs in the Giants’ organization piled up 19 home runs and 89 total runs scored on Tuesday. It was a DAY! And it was a day that befits the top slugger in the system getting a promotion to the penultimate level, where he’ll now sit a short 84.4 miles away from Oracle Park… for a time…
It just makes sense that this was going to be the kind of day where everybody hits! Certainly, Marco’s former teammates sent him off with a real 21-gun salute!
Time to check out the lines….
