Royals LHP Daniel Lynch, Class A Advanced Wilmington: 6 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K -- Lynch was the third pitcher taken in the first round by Kansas City in last year's Draft, and early returns on him have been nothing short of stellar. The No. 4 Royals prospect turned in his second consecutive shutout effort in the Blue Rocks' 2-0 victory over Salem. The 22-year-old worked around a leadoff walk to retire 10 of the next 11 Red Sox, and he faced the minimum over that span thanks to an inning-ending double play in the third. The left-hander put runners on second and third with no outs in the sixth but got out of the jam by inducing an infield ground out from Ryan Fitzgerald and punching out two. Lynch hasn't allowed a run in 13 innings, and he has 11 whiffs and two walks over this stretch. Gameday box score
Astros LF Seth Beer, Double-A Corpus Christi: 3-for-4, BB, 2 RBI, 1 R -- Since going hitless in two straight games, Beer has been on a tear.

The 22-year-old got the Hooks on the board with an RBI single up the middle in the first inning, before tacking on another run in the next frame with a base hit into center. After working a four-pitch walk in the fourth, Beer later legged out an infield hit with a slow roller to second. A throwing error on the play put him into scoring position for Granden Goetzman, who brought him home with a single to center. Houston's No. 13 prospect Brandon Bielak improved to 3-0 after allowing a run on two hits and a walk while fanning nine over six frames. Gameday box score
Rangers SS Ryan Dorow, Class A Advanced Down East: 2-for-4, 2 HR, BB, 6 RBI, 3 R -- The Rangers infield prospect turned in a career night against the Nationals, as he went yard twice and finished with a career-high six RBIs.

The 2017, 30th-round Draft pick capped the Wood Ducks' scoring with his second three-run blast in the fifth to give Down East a 14-0 advantage.
