Going Once! Twice! Gone Again! 3 HR for Gates
Thursday, August 13th , 2026
Every now and then, everything just comes together.

Danny Gates discovered that today at Firecats Ballpark, as he smashed three home runs during the 10-3 St. Louis Cavalry win over the Hialeah Firecats.

"I got three balls to hit and nailed all three of them," the St. Louis second baseman said in his postgame interview. "The first was a hanging curve, the second was right down the middle and the last one was a good pitch, but I guessed right and put the wood to it."

Gates, who leads the W-AA in RBI with 71, finished the day with 3 hits in 4 at-bats and 5 RBIs.

Danny Gates hit a solo-shot off Tadamasa Takashima in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Fabien Pastorelli in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Fabien Pastorelli in the 6th and struck out in the 8th.

This season, Gates has hit 25 home runs and posted a .270 batting average.
