PostHeaderIcon Brugman Hits 6 Homers in 5 Games: Minors Update 12 August 2014

Jaycob BrugmanIt was Jaycob Brugman’s week. In the past 5 games, he has hit 6 home runs out of 9 times that he has connected in 20 at bats (.450). His home run streak (which could continue today) accounted for all of the 6 runs and 8 rbis he earned and raised his season totals to 16 home runs and a .275 batting average. Good luck keeping up that pace!

On the mound the standout performance came from Nik Turley, who managed a 2-hitter over 5.1 innings in which he shut out his opponents. Turley is still working off early-season bad starts due to injury.

Tyson Brummett remains on the disabled list.
