Plawecki Homers in Triple-A Debut
Kevin Plawecki was on-fire during his stay in Binghamton. Earlier this week he got the call to advance to Triple-A Las Vegas. In his debut with the 51's last night he went 1-4 but that one hit was the big one. Plawecki homered to tie the game versus Sacramento in the ninth inning. In 11 innings Sacramento ended up winning 7-5.
