Rookie Sluggers Vaughn and Gonzalez Deliver Clutch Performances
8 Jul
Summary
- Andrew Vaughn hits 3-run HR in Brewers debut
- Romy Gonzalez blasts 454-ft HR for Red Sox
- Both players previously with Chicago White Sox
On Monday, a pair of former Chicago White Sox infielders made their mark in MLB. Andrew Vaughn, recently called up by the Milwaukee Brewers, wasted no time making an impact in his debut. In his first at-bat against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Vaughn connected on a 2-2 slider and crushed a 409-ft, 3-run home run.
Across town, Romy Gonzalez continued his strong start to the season with the Boston Red Sox. In a 9-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, Gonzalez went 2-for-5 with a towering 454-ft solo home run in the 8th inning. The 18th round draft pick by the White Sox in 2018, Gonzalez is now batting .326 with a .923 OPS through 129 at-bats this season.
Both Vaughn and Gonzalez are looking to build on their early success after struggling to find their footing with the White Sox in previous seasons. Their impressive performances on Monday night showcase the potential of these young sluggers as they embark on new chapters with their respective teams.
