Marlins RHP Jorge Guzman, Double-A Jacksonville: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 HB, 3 BB, 6 K -- The No. 10 Marlins prospect tossed his second scoreless start of the year, the other being a 10-strikeout gem on May 10 that also lasted six innings. On Thursday, Guzman put at least one runner on base in each frame but was able to avoid any damage. He threw 55 of his 92 pitches for strikes and lowered his ERA to 3.93. The 23-year-old has now thrown a career-high 100 2/3 innings this season. Gameday box score
Yankees RHP Luis Medina, Class A Charleston: 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 10 K -- The No. 14 Yankees prospect rebounded nicely from back-to-back starts during which he twice allowed five earned runs. He didn't allow a runner to reach third base. The 20-year-old fanned the side in the first inning and reached double-digit strikeouts for the first time as a pro. Medina has now struck out 74 batters in 64 innings this season, both of which are career highs. Gameday box score

Mariners RHP Logan Gilbert, Class A Advanced Modesto: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8 K -- The No. 3 Mariners prospect took a no-hitter into the sixth inning against Lake Elsinore but lost the bid when tenth-ranked Padres prospect Tirso Ornelas knocked a two-out single for the Storm. The right-hander allowed a leadoff walk in the second before striking out the side. He gave up two hits in his final frame -- surrendering an unearned run after an errant pickoff attempt -- but all three outs that inning were represented by a backward K. Gilbert, 22, lowered his ERA with the Nuts to 1.73 and hasn't let an earned run across in his last three starts. Gameday box score
