Plenty of standout performances stood out on Tuesday in the Dodgers minors.
Player of the day
Rancho Cucamonga second baseman
Jorbit Vivas had a six-hit game, including a grand slam in the Quakes’ road romp in Lake Elsinore. Batting second in the lineup on Tuesday, Vivas singled in the first, did the same to lead off the third, then in the fifth both singled and scored
and hit a grand slam as part of a 10-run frame. Vivas added singles in the seventh and ninth innings.
The six hits matched a franchise record, matching Mike Darr in 1997 when Rancho Cucamonga was a Padres affiliate, per Quakes play-by-play broadcaster Mike Lindskog.
AJ Pollock finished off his minor league rehab assignment, Miguel Vargas homered and doubled for Great Lakes, highlighting Wednesday in the Dodgers minors.
Hits were at a premium for the three Dodgers minor league affiliates in action on Wednesday night.
Player of the day
It’s been a solid start to the season for
Julian Smith for Low-A Rancho Cucamonga. He pitched four scoreless innings of relief with four strikeouts on Wednesday night, keeping the Quakes in the game despite a dismal offensive night for the home team.
The Dodgers drafted Smith, who turns 24 in June, in the 15th round in 2018. His first outing was another four strong relief innings, earning the win on May 5 while allowing only one unearned run. On the season, Smith has a 0.00 ERA in eight innings, with 11 strikeouts and two walks.

2012
In one of largest wrestling tournaments this side of the California state championships, the Sierra-Nevada Classic hosted 97 teams and over 1,000 wrestlers from four states including Central section powers Clovis West, Buchanan-Clovis, as well as the deep and talented Madera Coyotes.
The venue was the Reno Livestock Events Center, a huge facility where 15 matches went on at the same time. But the Coyotes were far from intimidated by the magnitude of the tournament as they finished ninth as a team with three wrestlers placing.
