DENVER (AP) — Brennan Davis saw hitting in Coors Field’s thin air as a fat opportunity, far different from his usual ballparks.
“I’m currently playing in Knoxville, Tennessee,” the Chicago Cubs’ Double-A outfielder said. “It’s noticeable.”
The 21-year-old homered twice and earned MVP of the National League’s 8-3 victory over the American in the Futures Game on Sunday.
