Coby Mayo With Two-Homer Game At Triple-A On Wednesday
Coby Mayo has begun to catch fire at Triple-A Norfolk, going 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, two home runs, three RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday. It was the 23-year-old's fourth multi-hit game in his last six, going 9-for-23 (.391) over that stretch and pushing his slash line up to .268/.368/.567 for the year, with six home runs and a 16:26 BB:K in 26 games (117 PA). Baltimore's second-ranked prospect continues to be the odd-man out for playing time, as the O's recalled 28-year-old corner infielder Emmanuel Rivera from Norfolk on Tuesday after Jordan Westburg hit the IL. Despite a 47.8 percent strikeout rate in his 46-plate appearance debut last season, the 6-foot-4 slugger should get another chance in Baltimore this season, or elsewhere if they have no intentions of using him in the majors, but whenever he's recalled, power needy managers in deep leagues should consider rostering MLB's 13th-ranked prospect.
