Rays down on the farm June 5: Hot Rods send eight to All-Star Game

Bowling Green will send an entire infield -- Nick Ciuffo, Casey Gillaspie, Jace Conrad, Grant Kay and Coty Blanchard, although he will not be playing because of his recent suspension. They will be joined by pitchers Brent Honeywell, Hunter Wood and Chris Pike.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (31-24)

Behind a solid start from Scott Diamond, Durham topped Charlotte by a 4-1 score. After cruising through five innings, Diamond did get into trouble in the sixth when the Knights scored their only run, but Diamond finished with just that run allowed on four hits and a walk in 5 1/3 innings with a strikeout before three Bulls relievers finished the game. Curt Casali's two-run homer in the second got Durham on the board, and Richie Shaffer's RBI hit two innings later added an insurance run.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (24-29)

Blake Snell was roughed up in Montgomery's 5-1 loss to Jacksonville. After an outstanding start to the season, he has hit his first road block. He allowed a two-run home run in the second, and the Suns hit another solo home run in a two-run fourth. Snell finished with four runs allowed on seven hits and four walks in five innings with six strikeouts. The Biscuits did not score until grabbing an unearned run in the eighth.

Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (36-18)

Charlotte banged out 15 hits in its 7-1 win over Jupiter. The Stone Crabs went up 6-0 with a three-run sixth that included RBI hits from Maxx Tissenbaum, Carter Burgess and Dayron Varona. Buddy Borden fired seven scoreless innings before Kirby Yates made his first rehab appearance on his way back to the Rays. He allowed two runs in an inning, but one was unearned due to Burgess' error.

Class A Bowling Green Hot Rods (30-24)

Casey Gillaspie's 10th home run keyed a four-run fourth in Bowling Green's 7-3 win over Kane County. His homer led off the inning, and Thomas Milone's two-out RBI hit capped the frame that put the Hot Rods in front. Errors helped them tack on an insurance run in each of the next two innings. After allowing two runs in a second inning that included a solo dinger, Enderson Franco settled in and limited the Cougars to those two runs on eight hits in five innings.
