Rays prospects and minor leagues: Wood is good

Hunter Wood still has to cut down on his walk rate, which is currently 9.2 percent. Much of that damage, though, was done in one game, when he walked six Tampa hitters and lasted just 3 2/3 innings. Had he only walked three that game, his walk rate for the season would be about two points lower. For the season, his strike percentage is right around 63 percent.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (14-17)

Durham's dormant offense briefly awoke in its 2-1 loss to Buffalo. After Dalton Pompey led the game off with a home run off Blake Snell, Jaff Decker started the Bulls' first at-bat with a double and eventually scored the tying run. That would be it for their bats, but Snell also limited the Bisons after that early mistake. He finished with seven strikeouts and just the run allowed in 5 1/3 innings before Buffalo scored the go-ahead run was charged to Adam Kolarek in the ninth.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (16-13)

Juniel Querecuto's 11th-inning single lifted Montgomery to a 4-3 walkoff win over Tennessee Tuesday. With two on and none out, Jake DePew was unable to sacrifice the runners into scoring position, but Querecuto's base hit picked his teammate up. Jake Bauers had a three-hit game that included a home run off the Cubs' top pitching prospect, Duane Underwood, and Jacob Faria allowed two runs in seven innings despite five more walks.

Class-A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (16-14)

Hunter Wood turned in one of the best starts of his career in Charlotte's 6-2 win over Palm Beach. He did not allow a hit until the fourth inning, and that would be the only one he allowed in 6 2/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts and just one walk. The Stone Crabs got on the board with back-to-back doubles from Cade Gotta and Nick Ciuffo in the first, and after a pair of runs in the third, Riley Unroe's solo home run in the fourth extended the lead.

Class-A Bowling Green Hot Rods (16-14)

David Rodriguez homered twice, but Zacrey Law was the hero in Bowling Green's 11-inning, 4-3 win over Lansing. After the Lugnuts went up 3-0 in the second inning, Rodriguez's first home run got the Hot Rods on the board, and his second tied the game in the ninth. In the 11th, a throwing error allowed Manny Sanchez to move up to third base, and Law drove him in with a single. Starter Roel Ramirez allowed three runs in six innings, and Armando Bastardo and Diego Castillo combined for five scoreless innings of relief.
