Friday saw plenty of action on the farm. Jeremy Fernandez and Connor Lien each hit a pair of homers, CJ Alexander didn’t slow down at all in his High A debut, Austin Riley had a four hit evening, and William Contreras had a pair of hits. On the pitching side we saw Matt Rowland with another strong start and Jasseel De La Cruz made his first strong start in a while. Michael Mader also quietly threw six scoreless innings despite command issues.
