James Tibbs III, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, hit a walk-off home run in the 10th inning on June 19 against the Sacramento River Cats. This marked Tibbs' 20th home run of the season and boosted his impressive Triple-A stats to.297/.413/.602 in 69 games. Tibbs was traded from Boston to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a deal that sent Dustin May to the Red Sox. Despite his success, the Dodgers have limited opportunities for him in the major leagues due to a crowded outfield and Freddie Freeman's presence at first base.
