The San Francisco Giants' Minor League affiliates saw mixed action as AAA Sacramento River Cats triumphed over Tacoma Rainiers with a 17-7 score. Highlighting the standout performance was outfielder Marco Luciano, who had previously been struggling. He broke out of his slump with a notable 3-5 day at bat, including a home run that traveled 415 feet. The team compiled an impressive 15 hits and 12 walks, showcasing offensive depth. Although AA Richmond's game was postponed, excitement is building for their upcoming doubleheader on Saturday.
In a day full of great performances, the best one belonged to someone who I am very, very happy to see have a good game: left fielder Marco Luciano.
Still, there were reasons for some optimism: he was still hitting the ball extremely hard, and his strikeout issues were mostly due to a passive approach rather than an inability to make contact.
Hopefully Thursday was a step in that direction, because Luciano had a dynamic day, hitting 3-5 with a home run, 2 walks, and 1 strikeout.
His dinger was absolutely gorgeous, and traveled 415 feet with a 105.6-mph exit velocity.
