Wong continues to rake for Drillers

Connor Wong has played in 36 Texas League games since being promoted from the California League on July 15. He's spent nearly one-third of that time putting together the best stretch of his professional career.
The Dodgers' No. 28 prospect notched his fourth straight three-hit game, second in a row with a homer, walked and drove in a pair of runs as Double-A Tulsa bested Amarillo, 8-4, on Tuesday at Hodgetown.

The 2017 third-round pick won an eight-pitch battle with right-hander Tom Colletti (0-1) in the third inning by working a walk. He led off the fifth and greeted righty Blake Rogers by going the other way with a 2-1 fastball and lining it into right field for a base hit. He was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double.
