Angels OF Jo Adell, Class A Advanced Inland Empire: 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs, R -- It's not taking long for Los Angeles' top prospect to make up for lost time. After going 0-for-4 in his season debut on Friday, Adell has recorded three straight multi-hit games and homered for the second

Angels OF Jo Adell, Class A Advanced Inland Empire: 2-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs, R -- It's not taking long for Los Angeles' top prospect to make up for lost time. After going 0-for-4 in his season debut on Friday, Adell has recorded three straight multi-hit games and homered for the second night in a row in the 66ers' 6-4 loss to Visalia. MLB.com's No. 14 overall prospect hit .290/.355/.543 with 20 homers across three Minor League levels last year, but ankle and hamstring injuries -- sustained on the same play during Spring Training -- cost him nearly two months this season. Adell is 6-for-17 (.353) with two homers, a double and five RBIs through his first four games of 2019. Gameday box score

Reds DH Jonathan India, Class A Advanced Daytona: 3-for-5, HR, 2 RBIs, R -- Cincinnati's No. 4 prospect entered the Tortugas' game Tuesday night with five hits in his last nine contests. He nearly equaled that output, going deep for the seventh time this season and adding two singles for his first multi-hit effort since May 15. His last homer came on May 14. Gameday box score
Twins RF Alex Kirilloff, Double-A Pensacola: 2-for-4, HR, 2B, RBI, 2 R -- The second-ranked Twins prospect extended his hitting streak to six games while turning in his fifth multi-hit effort over the last eight contests.

Twins OF Trevor Larnach, Class A Advanced Fort Myers: 4-for-5, 2B, RBI, R -- A stretch that saw Minnesota's fifth-ranked prospect total one hit in 17 at-bats has morphed into a four-game hitting streak, highlighted by his second four-hit game this month. Already with three hits against Florida, Larnach drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning to lift the Miracle to a 7-5 win.
