Luis Basabe (CF): 1-for-4, 0 BB, 1 K
Zach Thompson: 1 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K
Another scarce Sox day for the Glendale Desert Dogs, as Luis Basabe was the only Sox prospect in the starting lineup. Basabe had the luxury of going up against Forrest Whitley, the eighth best overall prospect according to MLB Pipeline.
In Basabe’s first at-bat, he was first-pitch swinging and grounded out. His next at-bat exercised much more patience, as he saw three whole pitches before singling.
