Rays OF Josh Lowe , Double-A Montgomery: 3-for-4, 2 HR, 1 BB, 3 R, 2 RBIs -- The Rays' No. 15 prospect entered Sunday with 21 career homers but had never gone yard twice in the same game. That changed when he took Braves No. 12 prospect Joey Wentz deep in the fourth and sixth innings. The 21-year-old sent a 2-1 pitch over the left field wall in the fourth, then deposited the first pitch of the sixth over the fence in left-center. Lowe also singled in the eighth and walked and scored a run in the 10th as his OPS climbed to 1.079.
Brewers RHP Trey Supak , Double-A Biloxi: 7.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K -- Milwaukee's 11th-ranked prospect notchedhis first win of the season in dominant fashion. Supak worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the first inning by inducing a first-pitch double play. He faced one batter over the minimum the rest of the way, yielding two hits during that span. The 22-year-old threw 50 of 71 pitches for strikes. Through four starts for the Shuckers, the right-hander has a 1.52 ERA and has thrown three scoreless outings.
Braves OF Drew Waters , Double-A Mississippi: 3-for-5, HR, 2 2B, BB, 3 R, 3 RBIs -- The strong start by Atlanta's eighth-ranked prospect finally resulted in his first Southern League homer as the Braves topped Montgomery, 7-6. After grounding out in his first at-bat, Waters led off the home half of the third with a first-pitch solo shot to center field off starter Sam McWilliams . The 20-year-old added a double in the fifth and was intentionally walked an inning later. He did his most consequential damage in the 10th, when he lined a game-tying two-run double to right and scored the winning run on a wild pitch. The 2017 second-round pick owns a .333/.389/.515 slash line in 15 games.
