ARIZONA FALL LEAGUEPeoria Saguaros White Sox
Eduardo Escobar showed only a few flashes of power while splitting time Winston-Salem and Birmingham during the regular season. The Venezuelan native displayed some pop on Monday, though, for the Sags in a 6-3 victory over visiting Phoenix.
Escobar had three hits, including a three-run homer in the seventh inning that broke open what was a close contest, and scored twice. He pushed his average to .375 6-for-16 through five games. The long ball and the RBIs were his first of the season.
