Jacob Wilson Launches Second Long Ball, Extends Hitting Streak To Eight Games
1 day agoAthletics shortstop prospect Jacob Wilson went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI during their 6-3 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday afternoon. Wilson tallied his first hit with a solo blast in the fourth inning off Colorado starter Ryan Feltner. Later in the 11th inning, the former sixth overall pick would play the hero as he hit a go-ahead two-run single, which scored JJ Bleday and Shea Langeliers. Wilson has tallied at least one hit in the first eight games of the regular season and posted two straight multi-hit outings. He has gone deep twice and added a double with five total RBI. Wilson received a brief taste of the majors last season but was only able to appear in 28 games before suffering a season-ending hamstring injury. The 23-year-old remains a strong No. 1 shortstop in all formats as he continues this impressive start. On Saturday, he will look to push his streak to nine games against German Marquez.
