Mountcastle on Fire: Burns Buffalo with 3 HR
Thursday, August 6th, 2020
Rochester Red Wings bombardier Ryan Mountcastle set his sights on the stands and blasted three balls over the fence as his club took a 20-2 win over the Buffalo Bisons today.
"I guess you could say I was a good guesser today, especially on the last one," Mountcastle told writers in the postgame press room. "I was ahead in the count, so I gambled that I'd get a certain pitch, and got all of it."
For the game, the Rochester first baseman had 3 hits in 3 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 4 runs.
Ryan Mountcastle hit a two-run home run off Julian Garcia in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Marshall Kasowski in the 3rd, walked in the 5th, walked in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the 7th, walked in the 8th and walked in the 9th.
To date Mountcastle has chalked up a .286 average with 14 home runs, driven in 60 runs and scored 53 times.
