Rays prospects and minor leagues: Sanchez hits first Double-A home run
Although it scored nine runs Sunday, Charlotte lost. The Stone Crabs boast what’s easily the best offense in the Florida State League. With a .758 OPS, they lead the league and demolish the league average of .691. The No. 2 offense in the league has a .713 OPS. They’ve scored 571 runs, and no other team even has 500 yet. Their 229 doubles are 40 more than second place in the league.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (62-47)
Durham was shut down by White Sox prospect Michael Kopech in a 4-2 loss to Charlotte. The hard-throwing righty struck out nine and walked none, but the Bulls still held leads of 1-0 and 2-1. Starter Zach Lee allowed three runs — two earned — in five innings.
