Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 6, Louisville Bats (Reds) 5

The big leaguers stole the show at Triple-A Norfolk. Jordan Westburg, Gary Sánchez, and Ramón Laureano all went deep in the win. All three players are more than capable of handling minor-league pitching, but it’s still encouraging to see the guys looking healthy.

The Tides jumped out to a 5-0 lead on the backs of the rehabbers and a pair of solo shots from Dylan Beavers and Jeremiah Jackson, but Norfolk gave all five runs back. Starter Cameron Weston posted five scoreless innings before surrendering a pair in the sixth.

Fortunately, the Tides were able to salvage the game. Fernando Peguero drove in Terrin Vavra for a go-ahead double in the ninth, and Houston Roth held the lead in the ninth.
