The Tides fell in extra innings, but let’s skip right to the good stuff. Yusniel Diaz continued his hot start with not one, but two home runs. Diaz launched an absolute no-doubter to deep left field with two outs and nobody on in the first inning. The blast marked Norfolk’s first home run of the season.
Diaz returned to the plate in the seventh inning with two on and two out. The former trade-chip laced another ball to left for an Earl-Weaver special that evened the game at three. His struggles were well documented last season, Diaz’s talent has never been questioned.
