Rays prospects and minor leagues: GCL Rays stay hot

All-Star Tuesday is always my favorite day on the minor league calendar. Most leagues are off, and if teams do play, it's usually early.

Wednesday night, you can check out the Triple-A All-Star Game on MLB Network. Dylan Floro won't pitch, but Austin Pruitt will represent Durham.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (40-52)

Durham is at its All-Star break.

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (11-8)

Montgomery fell behind early and could not catch up in a 4-3 loss to Jackson. Futures Game outfielder Tyler O'Neill took Chris Kirsch deep for a two-run homer in the first inning and later added on just enough to remain in the lead. Casey Gillaspie doubled and scored in the fifth inning, and Tommy Coyle did the same an inning later. However, the Generals were due, and they scored in the following half inning in each instance. Kirsch allowed four runs -- three earned -- in 5 1/3 innings with five strikeouts.

Class-A Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (9-9)

Charlotte was off.

Class-A Bowling Green Hot Rods (9-9)

Bowling Green was off.

Short-Season Hudson Valley Renegades (12-13)

Hudson Valley's offense took the night off to watch the All-Star Game, and it resulted in a 1-0 loss to West Virginia. The Renegades managed to total seven hits, but they were all singles, and none came with a runner in scoring position. Renegades pitching combined to walk seven batters, including two by Garrett Fulenchek, who allowed the one run. Adrian Navas threw five scoreless innings.

Rookie Princeton Rays (10-8)

Princeton was off.

Rookie Gulf Coast League Rays (7-9)

The GCL Rays continued their strong surge with a 9-2 win over the GCL Red Sox. In their sixth straight win, the team got off to a fast start, scoring two in the first inning and adding four more in the second, led by Jonathan Arrowood's two-run double. The bats went quiet for a while, but Juan Carlos Arias' three-run homer in the ninth added insurance. Starter Eduard Rosillo continued his nice start to the season with five strikeouts in five scoreless innings.
