Nationals SS David Masters, Class A Advanced Potomac: 5-for-6, HR, 2B, 3 RBIs -- It had been a slow start to the season for the veteran infielder, but he busted loose with a career day Wednesday. The 26-year-old got things started early with a two-run double in the first inning, eventually capping off his day with a solo homer in the ninth. In between, he singled three times. Masters, who had never recorded more than three hits in a game, raised his average 47 points to .276. Gameday box score
Dodgers RHP Mitchell White, Double-A Tulsa: 5 2/3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K -- Touched for five runs over his previous two outings, the Dodgers' No. 8 prospect went back to work and produced his third scoreless start of the year. After allowing a pair of first-inning singles, White kept Midland in check and allowed just one more baserunner the rest of the way when Dairon Blanco reached on an error. The 5 2/3 innings marked the right-hander's longest outing of the season and dropped his ERA to 2.45. His 0.93 WHIP would rank second in the Texas League if he had enough innings to qualify. Gameday box score
Blue Jays RHP Nate Pearson, Class A Advanced Dunedin: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K -- It was a brief outing for Toronto's third-ranked prospect, but it was another hitless gem.

He fanned five of the seven hitters and is tied for second in the Florida State League with 35 punchouts. With four scoreless outings, Pearson boasts a 0.86 ERA and 0.62 WHIP. Gameday box score
