Rays prospects and minor leagues: Andriese has career outing

With the success of Matt Andriese and Brent Honeywell Tuesday, how many Rays pitchers do you figure are pitching below the level they could succeed at? I don't know if Andriese will be a good major leaguer, but he has had good results in Triple A for quite some time now. Blake Snell is probably another in Durham's rotation, and of course you have what Honeywell is doing with Charlotte.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (12-15)

Durham's bats failed to back up an outstanding Matt Andriese in the Bulls' 12-inning, 1-0 loss to Indianapolis. In seven scoreless innings, Andriese allowed just three hits and a walk, struck out a career-high 14 batters and finished with a game score of 84, the best in his career. Unfortunately, the offense only managed four singles. Justin Marks recorded two outs with two in scoring position, but a two-out hit off the bat of Adam Frazier allowed Indy to walk off with a win.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (13-11)

Montgomery was off.

Class-A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (14-12)

Brent Honeywell continued to prove he's too much for the Florida State League in Charlotte's 3-1 win over Jupiter. Honeywell struck out a season-high nine batters and allowed just one run on four hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings. Jace Conrad singled in the game's first run in the second inning, and RBI hits from Alec Sole and Mac James in the third gave the Stone Crabs a 3-0 advantage.

Class-A Bowling Green Hot Rods (13-13)

A pair of two-run home runs helped Bowling Green to a 4-2 win over Peoria. Down 2-0, Kevin Padlo walked to lead off the sixth, and Michael Russell followed with his first home run of the season. An inning later, it was Padlo going deep following a Jake Cronenworth walk for his third longball of the season. Starter Roel Ramirez struck out three and allowed two runs in five innings, and Taylor Hawkins recorded his first professional win with two scoreless innings of relief.
