Colorado Rockies’ minor league affiliates combined to go 3-3 on Wednesday, with the highlight of the day being the 13-run outburst from the Triple-A Albuquerque Isotopes. The Isotopes got multi-hit games from four of the top 13 preseason PuRPs in this one as No. 13 PuRP Jordan Patterson continued his blistering hot streak with a 3-for-4 day. In his past 32 games, Patterson is hitting .400/.440/.792 and has brought his slash line on the season up to .294/.357/.555 in 398 plate appearances. There’s likely a productive big league player in there, but the Rockies have no clear path to him getting regular playing time at present. As such, the 25-year-old lefty might be best served as a trade chip as the Rockies continue to try to make moves at the non-waiver trade deadline.
Elsewhere on the farm, No. 9 PuRP Ryan Castellani struggled in his start for the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats, Wes Rogers stole another base (his 58th) for High-A Lancaster, and Ryan Vilade reached base three times for Rookie league Grand Junction.
