WASHINGTON – While the Nationals struggle in the Major Leagues, the top farm club for Washington is thriving.
The Triple-A Rochester Red Wings won their ninth game in a row Sunday and improved to 24-12 with a 7-4 comeback in 10 innings over Worcester, the top farm club of the Boston Red Sox.
Matt LeCroy, a former catcher for the Twins and Nationals, has been impressed with many facets of the game for Washington’s affiliate in upstate New York.
“The offense has been scoring a lot of runs with [two] outs. Big hits and the bullpen has been outstanding,” the South Carolina native wrote to Federal Baseball late Monday night.
