Since a troublesome 0-6 start to the season, the Hartford Yard Goats have put on a bit of a show in the Eastern League. They’re 25-14 since the winless week in April, putting them firmly back into the EL divisional race and showing the high level of talent the Rockies AA team contains.
Last night, 24-year-old Mylz Jones made his mark with a dominating offensive performance to carry the Goats over Portland on the road.
Jones went 3-for-3 with a home run Wednesday night, his fifth home run of the season, and scored three of the five runs.
