Opposing pitchers were able to keep Adley Rutschman down . for all of two games.
MLB Pipeline s second overall prospect hit his first home run of the season, doubled and collected three RBIs to lead Double-A Bowie past Altoona, 8-4, Thursday night. Rutschman had gone 1-for-9 with five strikeouts through his first two games before breaking out against the Curve.
For the Portland, Ore. native, at-bats was all he needed to get back into the groove. I started feeling better in the box towards the end of [Wednesday s game], Rutschman said. I think just being able to get those first few at-bats under my belt was the key. Baseball is a very tough sport and very process oriented so sometimes it takes a few things to click into place. Being able to relax and stay comfortable in the box is a huge positive.
