Chiefs Shortstop Trea Turner
Don’t let his baby face fool you, Syracuse Chief’s dynamic shortstop Trea Turner is an assassin at the plate and is having a killer season. Tonight he went 3 for 4 in a Syracuse win.
For the season the 22-year old NC State grad is batting nearly .300.
Turner snags a fly ball in the first inning of tonight’s game vs. Toledo.
Shortstop Trea Turner doubled in the bottom of the first inning and slid home safely a few batters later during the second game of yesterday’s double header with Buffalo. Syracuse won the second game 4-3.
Steve Strikeout: Strasburg kicked his rehab into high gear by striking out the first three Pawtucket batters he faced on Monday night. He continued to throw hard and mow down batters. He worked 5 2/3 innings.
What a difference a week makes. For his second rehab start Stephen Strasburg put the hammer down on the Pawtucket Red Sox, and registered 11 strikeouts while giving up five hits. The Chiefs also provided some major offense, including home runs by Matt Skole (1B) and Jason Martinson (3B).
The Chiefs won 9-3. Mission accomplished.
The Chiefs scored three runs in the bottom of the first, thanks to a double and a steal of third by shortstop Trea Turner.
The night turned out picturesque after a day that was spotted with rain showers. The official attendance was 5,646.
