Dodgers, Nationals Affiliates Set for Triple-A Championship

The Oklahoma City Comets, the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate, will face the Rochester Red Wings, the Nationals’ affiliate, in Saturday’s winner-take-all Triple-A National Championship at Las Vegas Ballpark after both teams rallied to capture their league titles. Oklahoma City will start Emmet Sheehan, who has struggled in the majors this season but posted a 1.50 ERA in four starts with the Comets; Rochester is expected to call up Jack Cebert from Double-A to start. The matchup features top prospects including Oklahoma City outfielders Josue De Paula and Mike Sirota, along with power-hitting prospect James Tibbs III, while Rochester is led by infielder Seaver King. The game is scheduled to air on MLB Network and stream through MLB and MiLB platforms.
