With Seby Zavala striking out in each of his first five at-bats, White Sox fans already might be thinking of the next man up.
Zack Collins offered a little for the imagination on Sunday night, serving as the centerpiece of a nine-run sixth inning with a grand slam seen below:
Collins is now up to .265/.389/.569 for the year, albeit with a 32 percent strikeout rate. Out of all the noisy lines in Triple-A this year, his might be the noisiest.
