AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST

A’s: Brian Howard, RHP (No. 21) -- 5 2/3 IP, 5 H, 3 R (0 ER), 2 BB, 5 K (Double-A Midland)

Beasley threw 58 of his 90 pitches for strikes and was able to limit keep Jackson off the board, despite issuing a trio of walks.

Angels prospects stats »

Astros: Bryan Abreu, RHP (No. 7) -- 5 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K (Double-A Corpus Christi)
Abreu, 22, fired five no-hit frames in his best outing this season, which was also his longest at the Double-A level. Throwing 59 of 89 pitches for strikes, he struck out six and had five ground-ball outs. A member of Houston’s 40-man roster, Abreu has powerful swing-and-miss stuff that has netted him 42 strikeouts in 28 2/3 innings this season, but with his ongoing control issues (16 walks), it looks as though he may be a better long-term fit in the bullpen.

Phillies: Jhailyn Ortiz, 1B (No. 11) -- 1-for-3, HR (2), 2 RBI, BB (Class A Adv Clearwater)
Ortiz has been struggling at the plate this season and entered the day mired in an 0-for-15 skid, but perhaps his second homer of the year, a two-run blast in the eighth inning, is what he needed to get going. The 20-year-old, who signed with the Phillies in 2015, hit .225 over 110 games at the Class A level last year and is hitting .167 through 24 games in his first Class A Advanced experience.
