Hub City is affiliated with the Texas Rangers. Daniel went 1 for 3 with two RBIs in Triple-A Las Vegas’ 6-3 win over Sugar Land (Texas). Las Vegas is part of the Oakland Athletics’ farm system. Tonko is 2-2 with a 3.91 ERA in 23 innings of relief this season. Daniel is batting .294 with 10 home runs and 39 RBIs this season for the Aviators.
