Rays No. 1 prospect OF Theo Gillen reached base last night in all 6 plate appearances for @BGHotRods, going 3-for-3 w/ 1 2B, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 1 R, and 4 SB.
He’s 1 of 2 minor leaguers since at least 2005 to have 6+ PA, reach in each of them, and steal 4+ bases in a single game.
What a month!

Congrats to Joe Boyle, Tristan Peters, and Angel Mateo!
God is good. He was with me every step of the way through the good and bad. Even on the days when I didn’t feel His presence. Thank you everyone who has helped me get here today. Can’t even begin to tell yall how many people that is.
