Reds 3B Jonathan India , Class A Advanced Daytona: 2-for-5, HR, 2 R, RBI -- Cincinnati's No. 4 prospect is officially on fire. After his average dipped to .231 on May 4, India has rattled off an eight-game hitting streak that continued Tuesday with a single and a solo homer, his sixth of the season. Last year's fifth overall Draft pick has gone deep twice in his last four games after going homerless in 11 previous contests. India is batting .407 with five extra-base hits during the streak, which has lifted his slash line to .267/.356/.466 for the Tortugas.
Twins RHP Brusdar Graterol , Double-A Pensacola: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 3 K -- Minnesota's third-ranked prospect improved to 5-0 on the season after throwing five innings in the Blue Wahoos' 3-0 blanking of Chattanooga. Graterol ranks second in the Southern League with a .170 opponents' batting average and third with a 0.98 WHIP and 1.69 ERA. In 42 2/3 innings, he has 39 strikeouts.
Mets 3B Mark Vientos , Class A Columbia: 3-for-4 -- The 19-year-old matched his season high with three hits in the Fireflies' 3-2 loss at Augusta, singling in the first, fourth and ninth innings. Vientos ended a 1-for-9 funk and pushed his batting average to .235, the highest it's been since April 16. New York's No. 3 prospect is batting .291 on the road, more than 100 points higher than his average at Segra Park.
