The NSI Minor League Report: Montero Goes Deep Again

Wednesday 7/1

Jesus Montero hit his 4th home run in 3 days and just missed another one, when he hit it halfway up the high outfield wall. Montero did a little styling on that one, and watched the ball without running, although he wouldn't have gotten more than the double that he wound up with. Hopefully that wont happen again.

Andrew Brackman returned to the rotation at Charleston. He did not give up a hit in his 3 2/3 innings, but walked 8 and gave up 5 runs.

Scranton was off, while Tampa and GCL Yanks doubleheaders were rained out.
