Cardinals RHP Johan Oviedo , Double-A Springfield: 7 1/3 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 10 K -- The Cardinals' No. 12 prospect fell one strikeout shy of matching his season high while recording his first scoreless start since April 20, when he was with Class A Advanced Palm Beach. Oviedo made the jump to Double-A ball after posting a 1.60 ERA in six Florida State League games. Since his promotion, the 21-year-old is 7-7 in 22 starts. His effort Wednesday lowered his Texas League ERA to 5.30.
Cardinals SS Edmundo Sosa , Triple-A Memphis: 4-for-5, 2 R -- St. Louis' 14th-ranked prospect is finishing his best overall season with a flourish. Sosa equaled his career high with four hits and is batting .341 over his last 10 games. The 23-year-old made his Major League debut in July and is batting .292/.335/.465 with a career-best 16 homers and 61 RBIs in 114 games for the Redbirds.
Cardinals OF Jhon Torres , Rookie Advanced Johnson City: 3-for-5, 2B, 1 R -- St. Louis' seventh-ranked prospect registered his third three-hit game of the season, helping Johnson City clinched the Appalachian League West Division title. Torres batted .167 in the Midwest League earlier in the season but seems to have found his footing with the Cards. He's 11-for-34 (.324) in his last 10 games to boost his average to .286 and his OPS to .918 in 33 Rookie Advanced contests.
