Tides' Sisco scores career-high four runs

The first two months of the season weren't good to Chance Sisco, but he's shifted into high gear since the calendar flipped to June.
The top-ranked Orioles prospect continued that trend Monday when he scored a career-high four runs and belted a solo homer to lead Triple-A Norfolk to a 10-2 win over Durham at Durham Bulls Athletic Park.
Sisco, who singled and walked three times, reached base safely five times for the third time in his career. 

The 2013 second-round pick finished May hitting .243, but since has racked up eight multi-hit efforts in June to raise his average 41 points. He's thrived against the Bulls this month, collecting nine hits in five meetings.
