Player of the day
Right at the core of a terrific team performance on the offensive side of things, James Tibbs III secured four hits, as only Jack Suwinski reached base safely more times with three knocks and a pair of walks; each of them had a couple of doubles, which was as big a hit as the Comets needed to score 12 runs, doing it so without a single long ball. The high profile of Tibbs III earns him this spot when we see these kinds of numbers, but weâd also be remiss not to mention Jacob Frost and Nico Perez from the Loons. Frost earned a team-leading fifth win of the year with five innings of one-run ball, and Perez went yard twice, doubling his home run total on the year.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
The two best hitters for the Comets this season, Tibbs III and Jack Suwinski, once again headlined an outstanding offensive performance as OKC earned 13 hits and 11 walks to score in five of the eight innings they hit in, beating the Bees 12-5. Interestingly, the second run of this game, as the Bees took an early lead before allowing seven runs between the third and fourth innings, came on a Chris Taylor single. The former Dodger had one of his classic games, producing an RBI but also striking out in three of his five at-bats. Between themselves, Suwinski and Tibbs III were responsible for more than half of the Cometsâ 13 hits and exactly half of their RBI. Since Jackson Ferris lasted only three innings, reliever already earned his fourth win of 2026.
