Catching prospect goes 7-for-8 over his last two starts for the Isotopes
To say that catcher Tom Murphy has been in a hitting funk this season might be underselling just how much he has struggled.
Murphy hit an anemic .178/.187/.329 in June, a month where his team went 8-20. Overall, he has a ratio of 53 strikeouts to just four walks in 162 plate appearances.
In the last two Isotopes games, however, Murphy has shown signs that he can still turn things around.
Murphy went 4-for-4 on Monday, falling a double shy of the cycle, after a 3-for-4 outing at Sacramento on Friday.
