Angels 3B Kevin Maitan, Class A Burlington: 2-for-5, 2 3B, 2 R, RBI -- For a prospect with 65-grade speed, it was somewhat odd that Maitan entered Tuesday without a triple to his ledger this season. That changed in the third inning, when the Angels' No. 14 prospect smacked an RBI three-bagger to center field. The 19-year-old followed with another triple in the sixth. Since putting up a .169/.244/.208 slash line in April, Maitan is hitting .223. Gameday box score

Brewers OF Tristen Lutz, Class A Advanced Carolina: 2-for-4, 2 HR, 4 RBIs, 3 R -- After hitting two homers in the season's opening month, Lutz is tapping into his power.

Milwaukee's No. 4 prospect is batting .273 over his last 29 games with five homers and 15 RBIs. Gameday box score
Twins OF Travis Blankenhorn, Double-A Pensacola: 3-for-4, 2 2B, R -- Blankenhorn roped his first double in a week on Monday and he must have caught the bug because the Twins' No. 28 prospect smacked two more against Jacksonville. It was the fifth time this season Blankenhorn scored at least two runs in a game. He's 6-for-14 in his last three games to get his average up to .312 since he was promoted from Class A Advanced Fort Myers on April 25. Gameday box score
Blue Jays OF Griffin Conine, Class A Lansing: 2-for-5, HR, 3B, 2 RBIs -- It's been a hot start to the season for Conine, who debuted May 29 after sitting out the first two months of the season while serving a suspension. He tripled in a run and scored in the first inning, then smacked a solo homer in the third, giving him eight extra-base hits in six games. Toronto's 16th-ranked prospect is batting .435 with a 1.589 OPS. Gameday box score
Nationals P Tim Cate, Class A Hagerstown: 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 K, 2 H, BB -- The Nationals' No. 5 prospect took a shutout into the sixth inning before a walk, a stolen base, a throwing error and a groundout produced the game's lone run in the Suns' 1-0 loss at Lakewood. Cate lowered his ERA to 2.45, which ranks fifth in the South Atlantic League, and his WHIP to 0.98, which ranks sixth. Gameday box score
