Redbirds Chill Slater's Hot Streak Wednesday, June 20th, 2018 Austin Slater came rolling into today's game against the Memphis Redbirds with a 22-game hitting string, but he left it on the field at AutoZone Park. The 25-year-old Sacramento River Cats left fielder went 0-for-4 against the Redbirds as the River Cats fell, 4-2. "I swung at a couple pitches I probably shouldn't have and I didn't swing at a couple I probably should have," he said, grimacing. "But that's what makes a hit streak so impressive in the first place -- it only takes a couple mistakes to end it all." Currently Slater is batting .322 with 12 home runs, 56 RBIs and 36 runs scored. |
