Missions Baseball
The Missions ended their four-game losing streak Saturday night with a 6-2 win against the RockHounds. The team benefitted from two three-run innings and a solid performance from starting pitcher Reiss Knehr.
Throughout the early part of this season, the Missions have driven in nearly half of their runs with two outs. Saturday night was no different. San Antonio jumped on Midland in the 2nd inning by scoring three runs with two outs. Eguy Rosario started the two-out rally with an RBI single and then Jack Suwinski finished it off with a two-run single. The Missions took a 3-0 lead.

The new minor league seasons means lots of firsts in the Oakland A’s farm system, especially new prospects making their pro debuts and younger names arriving in full-season ball for the first time. A few such players stood out on Wednesday.
Low-A Stockton
(win 8-3)
The Stockton Ports had a fun day on offense, collecting 11 hits and nine walks while stealing seven bases.
Leading the charge was
Lawrence Butler (6th round, 2018, out of high school), who is making his full-season debut this year. Every inning that Stockton scored, the rally began with a walk by Butler, four times in total thrice he was the first runner, and once he was the second runner of the frame. He also stole three bags.

After the Texas Rangers 5-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Thursday, there is no longer any debate of who is the hottest hitter in camp.
Joey Gallo annihilated a fifth-inning pitch from Brady Feigl over the berm in right-center field for a three-run homer to propel the Rangers to their first Cactus League win of 2021. It was his third home run of the spring the same number of games in which he has played to go along with seven RBI. It s always nice to get off to a start like that in spring training, Gallo said. I m just trying to work on the things I did in the offseason, implement them into the game. So far it s been working out pretty well.
