Eduardo Quintero Sets New On-Base Streak Record for Great Lakes Loons

In a game that showcased the offensive prowess of the Dodgers’ top prospects, Eduardo Quintero emerged as the standout star for the Great Lakes Loons on Saturday. The team matched its season high by scoring 16 runs, but it was Quintero who stole the show with a remarkable performance that included two doubles, four runs batted in, and a stolen base.

After a challenging start to the season where he posted a .195/.305/.280 batting line in April, Quintero has turned things around dramatically. Since May 1, he has been on fire, hitting .362/.464/.468, even without a home run during that stretch. His current nine-game hitting streak is complemented by an impressive on-base streak that has now reached 31 games, setting a new franchise record for the Loons. This surpasses the previous record of 30 games held by Miguel Vargas in 2021 and matched by Mike Sirota earlier this season before his promotion to Double-A.

On the other side of the field, the Oklahoma City Comets faced a tough loss against the Round Rock Express, falling by seven runs after their bullpen struggled in the later innings. Tommy Edman, serving as the designated hitter, contributed by doubling home one of the Comets’ two runs, while catcher Eliezer Alfonzo had a solid day with three hits, including two doubles. Zach Ehrhard also made an impact, collecting two hits from the leadoff spot.

The Tulsa Drillers had their game against the Amarillo Sod Poodles suspended due to rain, but not before Jake Gelof hit a two-run homer in the top of the second inning. Meanwhile, Mike Sirota continued his impressive on-base streak in Tulsa, reaching base for the 46th consecutive game with a walk in the first inning.

In a dominant display, the Loons amassed a season-high 19 hits, with first baseman Guerrero driving in five runs through a double and two singles. Charles Davalan also shone with three hits, scoring two runs and driving in one, while Kole Myers had a standout performance with a triple, single, two walks, two stolen bases, and three runs scored.

In other action, Easton Shelton made headlines by hitting two home runs, including the game-winner in a close matchup against the Stockton Ports. The Tower Buzzers initially struggled but managed to tie the game thanks to a solo shot from Mairo Martinus.

On the rehab front, non-roster invitees Matt Gorski and Chris Campos made their returns to action in Arizona. Gorski, playing his first game since May 23, doubled in both of his first two at-bats, while Campos pitched a scoreless inning with a strikeout after a lengthy stint on the injured list. Jose Rodriguez also had a strong outing, striking out three in a scoreless inning during his second game back.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on Quintero and his continued success, as well as the recovery of key players like Gorski and Campos. The excitement surrounding the Dodgers’ prospects remains palpable as they make strides on the field.
