Several top prospects, including JJ Wetherholt, Charlie Condon, and Lazaro Montes, showcased their skills at the plate. Meanwhile, pitchers Jonah Tong, Gage Jump, and Jackson Ferris delivered strong outings.

"Wetherholt's Triple-A career has gotten off to a torrid start," as he scored twice and hit two doubles. He is currently slashing .314/.432/.502 over 66 games.
Charlie Condon from Hartford (COL No. 1/MLB No. 21) continued his solid performance in Double-A by hitting his first home run for Hartford and reaching base safely in eight of ten games since his promotion from High-A.
Lazaro Montes of Arkansas (SEA No. 2/MLB No. 27) added another home run to his tally, bringing him to second place in the Minors with 24 homers this season.
