Canario got absolutely worked his first two weeks in AA. I'm going to guess that not coincidentally, one of those weeks was against the Rays. Since then:

 

.241/.328/.500, 112 wRC+, 9.8% BB rate, 27.9% K rate

Canario's K/HR/BB rate numbers look kinda comparable between South Bend and Tennessee. K-rate is just a hair lower, HR and walk rates all a hair lower in AA. But at South Bend, he had a fluky .382 BABIP, which hasn't carried up.

 

I'd love to imagine that he's in the process of figuring something out. I think odds are more likely that it's the natural ebb-and-flow of hitting. Every time a prospect has a little hot streak, I hope the's figured it out and that his will be the new normal. Usually it's more a series of waves, with some highs and lows, and what goes up must come down. I think as guys improve, they get a little more skillful at being able to extend the highs a little bit longer, and to shorten the lows a little bit.

Devers with another strong game. 3 singles in 6K/0BB/5IP. Will be interesting to see whether he's got the stuff for the majors. But relatively consistent control never stops being useful.

Wicks gave up 2 runs but struck out 8 in 5 today.

Owen Caissie had a 3R HR tonight, and a little swagger to go with it.
