Rancho Cucamonga 1st baseman Edwin Rios capped off a spectacular week with another home run on Sunday giving him five home runs for the week, ten RBI, ten hits, all in only twenty-five at-bats.

Brock Stewart and Imani Abdullah both fan 10 in minor league starts
While Nick Tepesch was proving why he was a one start nonsolution for the major league club, Brock Stewart was making sure they pay attention to him the next time they might need someone to fill the void in the rotation.
