Edgar Quero had the best night of any White Sox prospect on the best night for the White Sox farm system this season.
Quero hit his first two homers for Birmingham, including a walk-off homer that gave the Barons a 7-5 victory over Chattanooga in 10 innings.
It was only Tuesday that we discussed how Quero had done everything except hit for power since joining the White Sox organization, and one night pretty much fixes that. He's now hitting .340/.379/.500 over his first 58 plate appearances in Birmingham, leaving White Sox fans to want for nothing on that side of the ball.
Elijah Evans talked to Quero after the game, which gives you a sense of what he looks and sounds like.
It was a big blast, if only because the Barons came the closest to spoiling a perfect night for the White Sox farm system. The six affiliates teamed up for a 6-0 reord, and by a score of 62-19.
