Farmers Only: Louisville goes off

The Brandon Larson Honorary Star of the Night

Alejo Lopez: 3 for 5, 2-run home run, 3 RBI

Alejo Lopez is getting his first crack at High-A Daytona this season. After spending the entire season in Dayton in 2018, he has got off to a hot start this year, slashing .379/.438/.483 in the short season. Last night, he continued that with a 3 for 5 night while hitting a 2-run dinger and driving in 3. His home run last night was his first of the year, and it also surpassed his entire HR total from 2018. Have a trophy, Alejo.

Jesus “Saves” Reyes struck out 2 in 1.2 scoreless innings and “Sloppy” Sal Romano struck out 2 in a scoreless inning.
