Elephant Rumblings: Offense finally has a big day but goes to waste

Happy Tuesday, all!

After scoring just three runs over the first three games of the year, the bats finally woke up last night. In the loss to the Cleveland Guardians, the offense racked up 14 hits on their way to 10 runs. Unfortunately for the squad the pitching wasn’t on its game last night and the effort from the hitters went to waste.

Six of the starting nine had two hits apiece, and the team got three long balls to boot. Third baseman Jace Peterson and outfielder Seth Brown each hit their first of the year, and Ramon Laureano collected his second home run as well.
