Armando Galarraga fanned 5 and walked none as part of a 7 inning, 3 run night. Aaron Fultz pitched 2 scoreless innings to finish it.

I’ve seen two hens games in person this year and the rest on BCSN and those Larish dingers are monsters. The man is ridiculous; he either hits the ball 400 feet or he hits air.
His numbers thus far after his first week in Toledo:
7 hits in 27 at bats
4 home runs
9 K
He is on pace for (in a 500 ab minor league season):
74 HR
166 K
Impressive… first week projections are always accurate right?
Luke, you are exactly right. I have seen him play two times so far, and the ball is popping right off his bat. He is hitting line drive bullets off the buildings in right field. Easily.
If he keeps it up a call up should be in the cards.
