Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:14:31 GMT

When infielder Anthony Prato was called up to the Saints on June 10 from Double-A Wichita, he filled the spot created when Edouard Julien joined the Twins.“Eddie has been killing it up there,” Prato said.The same holds true for Prato in St. Paul. The 25-year-old native of Brooklyn, N.Y., was 2 for 4, including a two-run home run, Friday night in the Saints’ 8-5 loss to the Durham Bulls at CHS Field. Prato is hitting .314 since his call-up from Wichita.The date of their promotions is not all that links Prato and Julien. Both were drafted by the Twins in 2019; Prato in the seventh round out of the University of Connecticut and Julien in the 18th round out of Auburn. They have made their way up through the Twins’ system together.“He’s one of my best friends,” Prato said.Asked if the two of them have kept in contact this season, Prato said, “Every day.”Surprisingly, baseball isn’t their favorite topic of conversation.“We talk more hockey than anything,” Prato said. “I’m a big New Jersey...

Austin Gomber has quietly become the Rockies’ stopper.With the rest of Colorado’s projected rotation on the injured list, Gomber delivered big-time in Colorado’s 7-2 victory over the Yankees Friday night. He mostly shut down the New Yorkers for six innings and quieted their fans, who made up the bulk of the sellout crowd of 47,865 at Coors Field.“He had his four-pitch mix working tonight,” manager Bud Black said. “The change was good, a couple of good sliders, he mixed in some curveballs.
