Box score
In his 27th game in the White Sox system, Moncada ranks third in the International League with a .352 batting average and fifth with a .427 on-base percentage. The homer was his sixth, putting him in a five-way tie for third in the IL, two behind Indianapolis' Max Moroff and Lehigh Valley's Rhys Hoskins.
The 21-year-old switch-hitter went yard in his first plate appearance, hammering the first pitch he saw from Gwinnett right-hander Luke Jackson over the wall in right-center field for a solo homer. It was his second homer in five games following an eight-game drought.

Two innings later, he lined an RBI double to right on a 2-0 pitch for his third double of the year.
MLB.com's top overall prospect victimized Jackson again in the fifth, roping a single up the middle on the seventh pitch of the at-bat and stealing second. The theft was Moncada's seventh, putting him two behind Braves top prospectOzzie Albies and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's Tyler Wade for the league lead.

After working a walk against Akeel Morris in the sixth, Moncada flied to deep center field against Jason Hursh in the eighth.
White Sox No. 16 prospect Adam Engel was 2-for-4 with his second homer in three games, a double and two RBIs.
Knights starter Carson Fulmer, MLB.com's No. 63 overall prospect, improved to 4-1 after limiting the RailRiders to one run on three hits and a walk with four strikeouts over six innings. He dropped his ERA to 2.88.
