On the prospect watch…
- It was a good day for first-round draft picks in Indianapolis…Henry Davis hit his first Triple-A home run, Quinn Priester went six-and-two-thirds innings giving up two runs, one earned, and supplemental first rounder Carmen Mlodzinski got his first save as the Indians beat Iowa, 7-4.
- Altoona took an 8-4 beating from Somerset. Curve catcher Abrahan Gutierrez had two hits including a home run and Liover Peguero also homered. Jared Jones pitches the second game of the series tonight in New Jersey.
