VIDEO: Bo Bichette Has Monster Inning for Blue Jays' Triple-A Team
By Parker White
Bo Bichette is one of the top prospects in the Toronto Blue Jays' minor league system, and he showed what he can do on Thursday for Toronto's Triple-A affiliate, blasting a three-run homer in the fifth inning to give the Buffalo Bisons a 5-3 lead. Take a look:
Bo Bichette had a nice day -- in one inning -- today. 2-for-2 with a HR & 5 RBIs in the @BuffaloBisons' 8-run 5th. #BlueJays' prospect stats: https://t.co/nor4zHpz0a

Bichette didn't stop there, as Buffalo batted around in the fifth inning and he came up for a second time to came through with a two-run single. All told, it was an eight-run inning for Buffalo.
The team needed that huge surge in that inning to come away with an 11-8 victory.
BALLGAME. #Bisons score the 11-8 victory over the Indians!

Bichette could be finding himself in Toronto very soon. The only reason he isn't there now is because he broke his hand early in the season and has only 21 games at Triple-A.
After his 3-hit, 5 RBI day, Bichette is now hitting .250 with 3 home runs and 15 RBI.
