Prospect Action - Kelly, Pomeranz, Banuelos

Padres pitching prospect Casey Kelly fanned seven batters in six innings of work on Tuesday, reports Robert Emrich of MiLB.com.
Drew Pomeranz gave up his first runs of the season on Tuesday, allowing three in four innings of work, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, but the Indians prospect did manage to strike out five batters in the outing.
Manny Banuelos threw four strong innings in his first start of the season after the Yankees but him on the DL coming out of spring training to let a blister on this throwing hand heal, says David Heck of MiLB.com.
The legend of Billy Hamilton's speed continues to grow, as the Reds speedster hit his second inside-the-park home run of the season.
The Rangers saw two of their top pitching prospects shine on Tuesday, as Neil Ramirez struck out nine batters in five innings of work in what was supposed to be a spot-start in Triple-A, and Martin Perez threw a weather-aided 5-inning perfect game, according to John Parker of MiLB.com.
In other prospect action...
- Diamondbacks 1B prospect Paul Goldschmidt hit his minor-league leading 7th home run of the season on Tuesday.
- Red Sox prospect Kolbrin Vitek went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a triple. Fellow Sox prospect Anthony Ranaudo struck out 6 batters in as many innings, giving up just one earned run.
- White Sox CF prospect Trayce Thompson blasted two home runs as part of a four-hit day.
