Addison Barger Hits Walk-Off Home Run
3 months agoToronto Blue Jays rookie third baseman Addison Barger went 2-for-4 in Friday's 5-4 win over the Angels, including a walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth. Joey Loperfido had hit a home run just before Barger to knot the score at four apiece. The performance was a bright spot in what has otherwise been a struggle for the 24-year-old in his first season in the big leagues, as this was his first multi-hit game since July 31, having slashed .149/.184/.362 in August in just 47 at-bats. He has collected a hit in four of his last six games though (6-for-25), so perhaps he's building some momentum to finish off the season strong. If he were to get hot, the former sixth-round pick is eligible at 3B, SS, and OF, and is available in nearly all Yahoo leagues.
