Rays prospects and minor leagues: Brujan, Haley named FSL All-Stars

Vidal Brujan is one of the most talented players in the organization, and he was recognized for his quality season with a spot in the Florida State League All-Star Game. He’ll be joined by Jim Haley in Jupiter on Saturday, June 15.

Triple-A Durham Bulls (29-18)

A pair of solo home runs made a difference in Durham’s 4-3 win over Charlotte. After the teams traded two-run first innings, Nick Ciuffo went deep to give the Bulls a 3-2 lead in the second. In the eighth, Nick Solak’s seventh homer of the season provided a valuable insurance run. Arturo Reyes allowed two runs in six innings.

2B Nick Solak: 3-for-4, 2 R, 1 HR, 1 RBI (.877)
1B Nate Lowe: 0-for-3, 1 BB, 1 K (.817)

Double-A Montgomery Biscuits (29-19)

Montgomery led 5-0 through two innings, but it wasn’t enough in a 6-5 loss to Jackson. The Biscuits sent 10 to the plate in the first inning and scored four times, thanks to RBI doubles by Jesus Sanchez and Tristan Gray, plus an RBI single from Robbie Tenerowicz. Sanchez drove in another run in the second, but the offense checked out after that. Kenny Rosenberg allowed four runs — three earned — in five innings with eight strikeouts.

CF Josh Lowe: 1-for-5, 1 R, 1 2B (.733)
RF Jesus Sanchez: 2-for-4, 1 R, 1 2B, 3 RBI (.764)

LHP Kenny Rosenberg: 5 IP, 5 H, 4 R (3 ER), 3 BB, 8 K (2.25)

Class A-Advanced Charlotte Stone Crabs (26-23)

Charlotte’s first-inning run wasn’t enough in a 2-1 loss to Palm Beach. The Stone Crabs had four hits in that inning, but Jim Haley’s single with two outs was the only one that plated a run. They had just two hits the rest of the game. The Cardinals tied the game in the second and went ahead in the sixth. Both runs were scored against Joe Ryan, who pitched six innings and struck out eight.

SS Taylor Walls: 1-for-3, 1 BB (.729)
C Ronaldo Hernandez: 1-for-4, 1 R, 1 2B (.696)
LF Moises Gomez: 0-for-3, 1 BB, 1 K (.672)
