Once again, it was the Elly De La Cruz show in Dayton. He homered 3 times in their double header yesterday, including once from each side of the plate in game 1, as a part of his 4 for 6 evening. You can watch those dingers here and here. That’s one way to celebrate your addition to the Futures Game roster. There wasn’t much else to write home about in game 1. Christian Roa “Constrictor” started game 2 and pitched well. He threw 5 shutout innings, allowing only 1 hit and 2 walks while striking out 9. Vin Timpanelli struck out 3 in 2 scoreless innings of relief. Quin Cotton and Ashton “Keep it” Creal also homered for the Dragons last night.
