Prized Prospect Max Clark Dazzles With Three Hits as Tigers Crush the A's 13-1!

What a night out in West Sacramento as our Tigers hammered the Athletics 13-1 and rolled out a brand new star before our very eyes! Max Clark, just 21 years old and our third overall pick out of high school in the 2023 draft, got the call up from Toledo and made us all fall in love instantly! Batting seventh and patrolling center field, Clark drew a walk in his first plate appearance, then poked a soft single to left for his first career hit, added an RBI double in the eighth and doubled again in the ninth to finish with three hits! That makes him just the fourth Tiger EVER with three hits in a debut, following Kevin McGonigle's four-hit gem earlier this year! Now we've got our top two picks from 2023 in the bigs together, and Dillon Dingler even added a grand slam to the party! We started the day 51-58 and sit 4½ games out of a wild card, so this kind of youth movement is exactly the shot in the arm we needed!
