Curtis Terry, DH, Triple-A Round Rock (Rangers) — At this point an early season breakout has turned into something a little larger than that. Terry hit his 12th home run of the season yesterday and also drew two walks. He now is tied for third in the Triple-A West in home runs. Terry is now hitting .315/.388/.629. For a hitter who had less than 70 games above Low A before this season (and none above High A) it’s quite the start.

Jose Siri, CF, Triple-A Sugar Land (Astros) — After signing a minor league free agent contract with the Astros in the offseason, the tooled-up Siri began 2021 by hitting .354/.376/.634 in his first month as an Astros farmhand. He’s somewhat returned to Earth since then, hitting a more sedate .281 with a sub-.500 slugging percentage in June. But he seems to be warming up again. Siri hit his seventh home run of the season on Monday, one day after he hit his sixth. He has enjoyed facing El Paso pitching (as has pretty much everyone playing for Triple-A Sugar Land). Siri has one walk in his first 13 games this month. He has six in the past four.

Sugar Land has won four of the five games in this series with scores of 8-5, 10-3, 10-1 and 25-14. El Paso’s lone win was a 15-3 drubbing. Triple-A West remains the place where hitters are rejuvenated and pitchers are regularly left demoralized.

Cal Raleigh, C, Triple-A Tacoma (Mariners) — Raleigh’s 23-game hitting streak came to an end on Saturday. So Raleigh has gone out and started a new streak. He had three hits on Monday including a double. So far this year Raleigh has played in 33 games. He has hits in 30 of them.

Frank Schwindel, 1B, Triple-A Las Vegas (Athletics) — Schwindel’s excellent season continued with two home home runs on Monday. He now has 15 overall, second most in Triple-A West.
