Royals RHP Brady Singer, Class A Advanced Wilmington: 6 IP, 3 R/ER, 6 H, BB, 5 K -- It took three starts, but Singer has his first professional win. The top Royals prospect scattered six hits and a walk while allowing three runs as Wilmington snuck past Winston-Salem, 4-3. The three runs were a career high for Singer, the 18th overall pick in last year's Draft. He allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over 5 1/3 innings in his pro debut and threw 4 1/3 scoreless frames in a no-decision his next time out. So while it may not have been his sharpest start, it was good enough to get him in the win column for the first time as a Minor Leaguer. Gameday box score
Astros LF Seth Beer, Class A Advanced Fayetteville: 3-for-5, 3 2B, R, 2 RBIs -- Exactly one week removed from his first three-hit game of the year, Beer repeated the feat by doubling three times against Carolina.

In the ninth, Beer drove in two runs with his third double, then scored on a base hit by Jake Adams to trim the Woodpeckers' deficit to 7-6. Carolina held on as Ryan Aguilar went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a career-high five RBIs. Gameday box score
