LP: Reagan 0-1 / 5.40
Prospect Of The Game:
Outfielder Alfonso Rivas
(3 for 5 / Double / 2 RBIs)
The Lake Monsters lost for the eighth time in their last nine games on Monday, but left fielder Alfonso Rivas turned in another solid performance for Vermont. This year’s 4th-round draft pick for the A’s, who has primarily played first base, made his third start of the season in left field on Monday and collected 3 hits, including his team-leading 13th double, and drove in a pair of runs for the Lake Monsters. This year’s third overall pick for the A’s, shortstop Jeremy Eierman, singled twice, doubled, drove in a run and committed his 12th error. 20-year-old Dominican RHP Jose Mora made the start and allowed 4 runs, 3 earned, over 5 frames, while last year’s 15th-round pick, LHP Josh Reagan, gave up 2 runs, 1 earned, in 2 2/3 innings of relief to suffer the loss for the Lake Monsters. Meanwhile, Vermont RHP Brandon Withers was reassigned to the Snappers and catcher Cooper Goldby was activated from the disabled list on Monday.
