On Sunday, Rockies affiliates had a very productive day, sweeping their opponents and outscoring them 44-19. The Asheville Tourists outscored the Greensboro Grasshoppers 13-6 and right fielder Sean Bouchard (ninth round, 2017) accounted for three of those runs with a two run homer, a triple, and an RBI double. He was a single shy of the cycle. Shortstop Ryan Vilade (no. 7 PuRP) helped the cause, batting in two runs of his own and stealing his 12th and 13th bases of the year.
In Albuquerque, every starting position player recorded at least one hit in the Isotopes’ rout of the Las Vegas 51s. Center fielder Mike Tauchman (no. 22 PuRP), shortstop Daniel Castro, and catcher Jan Vazquez all homered. Tauchman, Vazquez, and first baseman Ryan McMahon (no. 2 PuRP) also drove in nine of the 14 runs and were scored six times themselves.
