Arizona Fall League Update

Seems repetitive at this point, but that’s how the fall has gone for Jase Bowen up to this point. Playing first base, Bowen reached base a total of three times, with two hits (one a double) on the night.

He also stole his first base of the AFL season.

Tyler Samaniego pitched the eighth inning, allowing a hit while striking out two. He’s brought his ERA down to 4.50.
