Jaylon Thompson talks to MJ Melendez about his first pinch-hit home run.
“We just have a lot of fight,” Melendez said. “We’re a winning team and that is just the bottom line.”...
“It’s definitely pretty cool,” Melendez said. “I haven’t had a ton of big home runs on the road. So that was something a little bit different. ... Just being able to get us ahead right there in the ninth inning was huge.”
Matt Quatraro believed in his young hitter.
“We have a tremendous ‘care’ factor,” manager Matt Quatraro said.
