The drought is finally over for Jesse Winker.
Cincinnati's No. 2 prospect (No. 22 overall) launched an opposite field home run for Double-A Pensacola on Monday, his first time leaving the yard since April 23. The solo shot couldn't help the Blue Wahoos take down Jacksonville, but Winker's homer provided plenty of reason for optimism in a 6-4 loss.
The outfielder went 3-for-4 on Monday and has hit in 11 of his past 13 contests. His season line (.253/.351/.374) is the best its been all year and Winker has three homers along with 15 RBIs in 2015.
