Sal Stewart went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a 7-0 victory against Triple-A Columbus. Stewart has been red-hot at the plate since being promoted to Triple-A on July 18, slashing .323/.401/.669 with 10 homers in 147 plate appearances. The quality of contact has been elite with a 49.5% hard-hit rate and 20.4% barrel rate, which only trails the recently promoted phenom Samuel Basallo at Triple-A.
