Braves LHP Kolby Allard , Triple-A Gwinnett: 8 IP 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K -- An up-and-down season trended north for Atlanta's No. 9 prospect on Thursday. Allard (5-3) tied his career high by tossing 97 pitches over eight strong innings to lead Gwinnett past Durham. He faced the minimum over his final six frames thanks to a pair of double plays and a caught stealing. The 21-year-old carried a 4.58 ERA into his 12th start after allowing eight runs, 13 hits and seven walks in his last two outings spanning 9 1/3 innings. Allard's seven strikeouts matched a season high and he did not issue a walk for the third time in 2019.
Reds OF Michael Siani, Class A Dayton: 4-for-5, 3 R, 2 RBI, 2 SB -- Cincinnati's No. 7 prospect singled four times, scored three runs and stole a pair of bases in the Dragons' 9-3 win in West Michigan. The 19-year-old is tied for sixth in the Midwest League with 13 steals to go along with 11 extra-base hits, including four homers, in 50 games.
Cardinals SS Edmundo Sosa , Triple-A Memphis: 3-for-4, HR, 3B, 2B, RBI, 3 R -- The 10th-ranked St. Louis prospect entered Memphis' game Thursday in a 6-for-35 slump that dropped his average 19 points to .247. He made up more than half of that in the Redbirds' win, falling a single shy of the cycle while notching three hits in a game for the first time since May 3.
