Milwaukee Brewers rookie shortstop Cooper Pratt hit his first Major League home run on Monday night against the New York Mets.
Pratt connected for a second-inning solo shot off Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta at American Family Field. Peralta, a longtime Brewers pitcher, faced his former team as a visitor for the first time.
The 21-year-old Pratt ranks as Milwaukee’s No. 3 prospect and No. 53 overall according to MLB Pipeline. He joined the big leagues on June 16 and entered the game with a .244 average and seven RBIs over his first 27 appearances.
The home run came in his 28th game and during his 26th start at shortstop.
