White Sox Minor League Update: September 14, 2021
Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports Jake Burger clobbered his 17th Triple-A homer, as part of a two-hit night for the Knights. The Knights got down early, as waiting to score till the ninth inning is a good recipe for a loss.
Alex McRae allowed three runs in the first two innings, and Jake Burger ended the shutout with a two-run homer in the ninth.
Burger reached base twice on the day; besides his 17th Triple-A homer, he walked as well. The Knights mostly relied on singles, but Blake Rutherford had a triple for Charlotte’s second and last extra-base hit. He also had two hits, along with Danny Mendick and Yermín Mercedes, so it was really only former MLBers hitting well tonight.
