The article highlights notable performances in minor league baseball games, specifically featuring Vaughn Grissom and Jhostynxon Garcia for the Worcester WooSox. Grissom's two-RBI walk-off highlighted a comeback win, while Garcia's first-inning home run marked his third consecutive multi-hit game since promotion. The game was characterized by defensive struggles but showcased the team's resilience. In contrast, Portland's game against Reading saw Blaze Jordan shine with a home run, supported by a solid pitching staff, underscoring the talent within the minor league system and calls for player promotions.
Nothing quite like a Vaughn Grissom two-RBI walk-off after a Nick Burdi clutch 1-2-3 seventh inning! What makes this game even more special - besides overcoming multiple defensive errors - is that Jhostynxon Garcia hit a first-inning home run, wasting no time starting what would become his third straight multi-hit game since being promoted.
Using this line to once again plead for Marcelo Mayer to be called up. How many praying hands and crossed fingers emojis do I have to use?
Unlike the Worcester game, the outcome of this one against Reading (Phillies AA) was never in too much doubt after the fifth. Blaze Jordan, who is extremely ready to face Triple-A pitching, homered, his second hit of the game to make the score 5-0 in Portland's favor.
This victory can also obviously be attributed to the pitching staff: Isaac Coffey, who made his first appearance in 2025 following an extended spring illness, David Sandlin, who threw his first scoreless outing of the season.
