- Thursday night played out the way that many expected this season would for the Royals top farm team, as Mike Moustakas homered twice, Eric Hosmer had four hits, and Danny Duffy threw six scoreless innings, reports John Parker of MiLB.com.
- Brandon Belt is back to his old hot-hitting ways in Triple-A, as he homered and doubled on Thursday, says Parker. Belt is, however, seeing time in left field rather than at first base, possibly preparing him for his return to the Giants later this season.
- Indians 3B prospect Lonnie Chisenhall hit a two-run homer off of Braves prospect Mike Minor, notes Ashley Marshall of MiLB.com.
- Cardinals pitching prospect Jordan Swagerty threw six scoreless innings en route to a victory, says Andrew Pentis of MiLB.com.
- In other prospect action:
- Diamondbacks OF prospect Collin Cowgill blasted two home runs.
- A number of Red Sox prospects left the yard for Portland on Thrusday, as Ryan Lavarnway and Tim Federowicz both hit one and Will Middlebrooks hit two.
- Mets pitching prospect Matt Harvey had the first rough start of his career, giving up 6 runs (4 earned) and failing to get out of the 5th inning.
