Moncada boo-yah, homer number 8.

 

Against veteran LHP Antonio Bastardo, banished from Pirates...

Moncada bomb.

 

From the right side this time.

Anyone else, lol?

We were all very concerned for our boy, and this is an exciting result.

3-3, 2BB, and a HR. That'll do.

Nice. Now build on that for a few weeks.

Kopech must be gassed. Good for him as this is where he starts to grow and mature.

4-4 for YoMo - that has to boost his confidence!

Moncada.

Minor league roundup including Hansen and Devers homer...

White Sox RHP Alec Hansen, Class A Kannapolis: 6 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 10 K, 86 pitches, 61 strikes -- Hansen has been a strikeout fiend in his first full season, so let this performance lock in that reputation. Thursday marked the third time in his last five starts that the No. 10 White Sox prospect has reached double digits in K's. He now has 92 strikeouts in 72 2/3 innings, good for third in the Minors this season behind Wilmer Font (102) and Puk (98). Beyond just punchouts, his other numbers (2.48 ERA, 2.62 FIP, 7.6 percent walk rate, .204 average-against) are also strong. The White Sox sent their 2016 second-rounder to the South Atlantic League after control issues caused his stock to drop at the University of Oklahoma last spring, but he's shown few issues at Class A through the first half. A move to Class A Advanced Winston-Salem should come not long after next Tuesday's Sally League All-Star Game.

Kopech's command starting to be an issue in his starts. He needs a breather

 

His numbers this season remind me of Neal Cotts when I was following him back in the day.
