Braves LHP Kolby Allard, Triple-A Gwinnett: 8 IP 6 H, 1 R, 0 BB, 7 K -- An up-and-down season trended north for Atlanta's No. 9 prospect on Thursday. Allard (5-3) tied his career high by tossing 97 pitches over eight strong innings to lead Gwinnett past Durham. He faced the minimum over his final six frames thanks to a pair of double plays and a caught stealing. The 21-year-old carried a 4.58 ERA into his 12th start after allowing eight runs, 13 hits and seven walks in his last two outings spanning 9 1/3 innings. Allard's seven strikeouts matched a season high and he did not issue a walk for the third time in 2019. Gameday box score
Brewers 2B Keston Hiura, Triple-A San Antonio: 2-for-5, HR, RBI -- Returning to Triple-A hasn't done anything to stop Milwaukee's top prospect. Playing in his second contest with the Missions after a successful 17-game cup of coffee with the Brewers, where he hit .281 with five homers, Hiura continued to torment PCL pitching. MLB.com's No. 14 overall prospect followed up a two-hit performance on Wednesday with a single and a solo homer on Thursday. Through 39 Minor League games, Hiura is batting .341/.414/.710 with 26 extra-base hits, 28 RBIs and 27 runs scored. Gameday box score
Marlins RHP Sixto Sanchez, Double-A Jacksonville: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K -- Miami's top prospect was a hard-luck loser in the first game of Jacksonville's doubleheader with Pensacola. Sanchez's fifth start of the year for the Jumbo Shrimp was one of his best as he threw 59 of 82 pitches for strikes. The 20-year-old tossed six scoreless frames in his Double-A debut on May 14 against Biloxi but he'd surrendered 10 runs -- nine earned -- on 25 hits over 15 1/3 innings in his previous three starts.

Indians OF Quentin Holmes, Class A Lake County: 2-for-4, HR, 3B, 5 RBIs, R -- A season to forget through the season's first two months took a pleasant turn for Cleveland's No. 27 prospect. Holmes capped a five-run Lake County fourth inning with a three-run homer and added two more RBIs with a triple in the next frame for a career-high five. Holmes appeared in seven games last year with the Indians' Rookie-level Arizona League affiliate and has played in 48 games since being selected in the second round of the 2017 Draft.
