Mets SS Ronny Mauricio, Class A Columbia: 3-for-4, 2B, 3B, BB, 2 R -- It was the second three-hit game of the month for the Mets' No. 2 prospect, who is continuing to impress as an 18-year-old in the South Atlantic League. He also scored both runs in the Fireflies'

Mets SS Ronny Mauricio, Class A Columbia: 3-for-4, 2B, 3B, BB, 2 R -- It was the second three-hit game of the month for the Mets' No. 2 prospect, who is continuing to impress as an 18-year-old in the South Atlantic League. He also scored both runs in the Fireflies' 6-2 loss to Lexington. Mauricio has six knocks in his last 13 at-bats and sports a .295/.339/.401 slash line with two homers, three triples, 13 doubles and 17 RBIs. The switch-hitter keeps displaying his strong bat-to-ball skills and he's already showing an affinity for driving the ball, which should continue as he rounds out his 6-foot-3, 166-pound frame.

D-backs 3B Drew Ellis, Double-A Jackson: 2-for-4, 2 HR, 4 RBI, BB -- Ellis hadn't recorded a multi-hit effort in more than two weeks, but both of his hits against Biloxi cleared the fence. It marked the first time the D-backs' No. 14 prospect homered twice in one game since he was drafted in the second round in 2017. The first was a three-run dinger to left field in the first inning that gave the Generals a 3-1 lead. He also went deep on the first pitch he saw in the sixth. Gameday box score

Red Sox 1B Triston Casas, Class A Greenville: 2-for-4, HR, 2B, 2 RBI -- For the third time this month, Casas went yard. Boston's top prospect raised his batting average to .270 and sports a .860 OPS as a 19-year-old in the middle of his first full Minor League season. The Red Sox drafted him with the hope he'd develop into an impact bat, and performances like Saturday's indicate promising things. He's second in the South Atlantic League with 52 RBIs and tied for fourth with 29 extra-base hits. Gameday box score
Brewers IF Mauricio Dubón, Triple-A San Antonio: 3-for-6, 2B, RBI: The Brewers' No. 5 prospect registered his third three-hit night of the month and his fifth multi-hit game in the last 10 contests. Dubon doubled in the fifth inning to extend his hitting streak to seven games, reached on a bunt single in the 10th, then singled home the tying run in the 12th as the Missions walked off with a 5-4 win over Reno. The Honduras native ranks third in the Pacific Coast League with 77 hits. Gameday box score
Astros RHP Jose Bravo, Class A Quad Cities: 6 IP, H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K -- Bravo was dominant in a rain-shortened shutout. The Astros right-hander allowed a single to David Fry, the second batter he faced, then retired 16 in a row to face the minimum over six innings. Bravo threw 47 of 68 pitches for his second career complete game and first since Aug. 6, 2016 in the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League. Gameday box score
Mariners RHP Logan Gilbert, Class A Advanced Modesto: 6 1/3 IP, 5 H, 1 R/ER, BB, 8 K -- After giving up a run in the opening inning, Seattle's No. 6 prospect faced one batter over the minimum the rest of the way. In eight starts since a promotion from Class A West Virginia, Gilbert has a 2.40 ERA, which would lead the California League if he had enough innings to qualify. Overall, the 22-year-old is 4-2 with a 2.11 ERA and 88 strikeouts over 64 innings in 13 starts. Gameday box score

It was Abreu's first game with Lowell this season after hitting .297 with seven RBIs in 10 contests with Class A Greenville.
