Peter O’Brien records his third multi-homer game

The Thunder offense broke out for 10 hits in a 10-3 win over the Reading Fightin’ Phils in front of 4,519 at First Energy Stadium Monday.

O’Brien recorded his third multi-homer game with a pair of solo home runs. His third-inning shot off Hoby Milner (5-5) gave the Thunder a 4-2 advantage. O’Brien added his 27th home run of the season in the seventh.

O’Brien scored the first of his four runs when he scored on Jose Toussen’s two-run double in the second inning. Ali Castillo later drove in Toussen with a base hit, the first of two run-scoring singles for Castillo.

The offense provided by O’Brien (2-for-3, four runs, two RBIs) and Toussen (2-for-3, three RBIs) was plenty for Bryan Mitchell (2-5). Mitchell went a season-high 6â…?innings and allowed just two runs on five hits and three walks. The right-hander struck out five.
