DENVER (AP) — The Chicago Cubs’ Brennen Davis homered twice in the thin air of Coors Field and Cincinnati’s José Barrero, Colorado prospect & Gig Harbor native Michael Toglia and the Mets’ Francisco Alvarez also went deep to lead the National League over the American 8-3 in the Futures Game of top prospects.
Davis, promoted to Double-A on June 1, sent a fourth-inning fastball from Minnesota’s Josh Winder to the trees beyond the center field wall, then hit a slider from Baltimore’s Marcos Diplan to left in the sixth, combining with Alvarez for consecutive home runs.
Mariners’ prospects Jarred Kelenic and Julio Rodriguez played in the game. Kelenic only went to the plate once and grounded out. J-Rod struck out all three times he want to bat.
