Jo Won-bin, who plays for Peoria Chiefs, the Hissinkle A team of the St. Louis Cardinals, had one hit (homer) and two RBIs from five times at bat in a game against the South Bend Cubs under the Chicago Cubs. He hit his second homer since hitting his first homer of the season on May 18.
Starting as a center fielder, Cho hit a two-run shot in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning. Jo, who got on base after Jacques Levenson hit a right-handed hit, faced off opponent starter Will Sanders and banged on the first pitch, but was fouled. He picked out the ball outside the second or third pitches, hit the ball straight to the center, and the ball crossed the fence. Peoria’s lead is 2-0. 토토사이트 추천
