Diamondbacks Minor League Recap 8/28/16: Michael Perez flirts with cycle

The Visalia Rawhide catcher had 4 hits in a Visalia 10-3 win, but fell a homer short of the cycle.

Catcher Michael Perez collected a single, a pair of doubles, and a triple in the Visalia Rawhide’s 10-3 win. Needing a homer to complete the cycle, Perez couldn’t quite drive it over the fence and had to settle with a second double. The 2010 4th round pick’s career never really took off because his bat never developed, but it was a nice moment for him.
