Peoria Tumbles Again, Falls, 9-3, to West Michigan
No one was more impactful than Jeff Young in the 9-3 West Michigan win over Peoria. Young, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2025 draft, went 3 for 5 with a home run and a triple. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. West Michigan reliever Joe Emerson picked up the win to move to 1-0. Jorge Piñeiro suffered the loss. The losing skid has reached 6 games for Peoria.

Early in the game, Young had a 2-run home run for West Michigan. It was his 4th home run of the season and put the Whitecaps on top, 2-0.

"I like our moxie," said Whitecaps manager Bo Porter.
