The Drillers have a historic evening while several prospects had standout nights on the farm.
Player of the day
Alex Verdugo had three hits and knocked in two runs in the Loons shutout victory on Wednesday. Verdugo's selection for the player of the day comes at a season milestone, as Verdugo reached .290 in batting average, continuing his climb out of a slow start. Verdugo has hit .339/.357/.477 in the month of July, and now has an OPS of .710 on the season. The power has been a little slower to arrive, but Verdugo isn't lacking for contact and could be poised for a breakout season in the California League.
