You guys, Franklin Arias just put up a *six-hit day* across two games, including a wild four-hit explosion in one full game last night! That kind of raw hitting from a minor leaguer, even if it’s not one of our Emerald City studs, seriously grabs your attention. It’s an early season trend you can’t ignore.
WooSox Bats Go Off!
That insane four-hit performance from Arias fueled a Worcester WooSox offensive clinic, with the team stacking up a ridiculous nineteen hits! Arias, Nathan Hickey, and Tsung-Che Cheng all had at least three hits each. And get this: Hickey and Braiden Ward both went deep in the fourth, launching homers that gave the WooSox a super comfortable lead. John Holobetz pitched six scoreless innings too, making it an easy 10-0 W. Pure domination right there.
Worcester also snagged a 6-4 win in ten innings, finishing a game tied from the day before. Buffalo fans got extra baseball, then Vinny Capra, with his third hit of the game, crushed a home run in the tenth to end it. Seth Martinez slammed the door. Arias, Romy Gonzalez, and Mikey Romero all had big offensive nights in that one too. Offense was definitely cooking!
Godbout’s Power, Portland’s Struggles
Meanwhile in Portland, infielder Henry Godbout is mashing. He’s got seven home runs since his Double-A call-up just a month ago, and he followed up a two-homer game with an RBI knock. But that RBI was Portland’s *only* run, coming with two outs in the eighth. It was also their only hit with runners in scoring position. Brutal. Morgan McSweeney pitched four innings with two runs against his old team, but that early home run he gave up was a killer.
The Greenville Drive had a tough night, taking their second consecutive walkoff loss, 2-3 in ten innings. Shea Sprague, a lefty who’d had a rough 2026, was a workhorse out of the pen with five key innings, but the team couldn’t capitalize. Stanley Tucker hit a homer in the third, but they stranded fourteen runners and couldn’t drive in that third winning run. Yikes. On the brighter side, the Salem RidgeYaks absolutely cruised to an 11-4 win, riding homers from Adonys Guzman and Josue Brito into an early, five-run third inning lead that never let up.
Tons of action in the minors! As for our Seattle Mariners? They took a tough 7-6 loss to the Athletics last night. Early season stumbles happen, but you always want to see them bounce back strong.
