Brenton Doyle Smacks Late-Inning Home Run
5 months agoColorado Rockies outfielder Brenton Doyle smacked a go-ahead solo home run in the top of the eighth inning Wednesday to lead the Rockies to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The home run was Doyle’s only hit of the night out of four plate appearances. Doyle took a Hans Crouse hanging breaking ball 431 feet into the bullpen for his 18th long ball on the season. After a lackluster rookie season for the 26-year-old, Doyle is breaking out nicely this year with eight more home runs in about the same amount of at-bats as the 2023 season. His .272 batting average is considerably higher than his .203 average in 2023. He's also right where he was at last year, with 22 stolen bases on the year. Playing in Colorado, Doyle has the potential to finish with a 30-30 campaign with a more than respectable batting average.
