A day after his first pro grand slam, Willy Adames notched another milestone. The Rays No. 2 prospect homered in the eighth inning to complete the first Triple-A cycle in Bulls history.
Third-ranked Atlanta prospect Mike Soroka didn't allow a run in a complete game for the first time, giving up just three singles over seven innings. Ronald Acuna ensured he'd get the victory.
O's lefty Zac Lowther piled up 18 strikeouts to tie for the Minors lead while Padres slugger Buddy Reed collected 15 hits -- four of them homers -- to earn Player of the Week honors.
Whiskey streams through the Minors this season, as the Louisville Mashers, Bowling Green Bootleggers, Peoria Distillers and West Virginia Moonshiners are set to suit up.
Indians prospect Sam Hentges is still new to pitching, and after elbow surgery forced him to take a year off, he's growing into his new role with Class A Advanced Lynchburg.
Some projections have Fernando Tatis Jr. joining the Padres next season, but the 19-year-old San Antonio shortstop is more focused on some simple advice passed along by his father.
