AFL Recap: Contreras Starts, Gonzales Stars in Peoria Triumph

With eight games left in the Arizona Fall League season, Peoria came into Tuesday afternoon’s home game versus Mesa with an 11-10 record, trailing first place Surprise by 2.5 games and second place Glendale by 1.5 games. Roansy Contreras was on the mound today. Earlier today, he was named as the AFL Pitcher of the Week for his three perfect innings last week. Nick Gonzales returned to the lineup for the first time since leaving Friday’s game early after a hit-by-pitch. Michael Burrows appeared in relief of Contreras. Here’s the recap from today.

Gonzales doubled in his first at-bat, then reached on an infield single in the fourth inning.
