On Wednesday, the best players from the Pacific Coast League faced on the best players from the International League in the 2017 Triple-A All-Star Game. The Los Angeles Dodgers were represented by four players from Oklahoma City in top prospects Alex Verdugo and Willie Calhoun, as well as veteran Minor Leaguers Wilmer Font and Madison Younginer.
Verdugo, fresh off his appearance in the Futures Game, started in right field and batted eighth. To hit Verdugo that low in the lineup was a curious decision by the PCL club’s manager, to say the least.
Nonetheless, Verdugo went 0-for-2 on a groundout to second base and comebacker.
