Prospect Of The Day

Not much of a contest for today’s honors. Asheville (Rockies) righthander Bruce Billings threw the SAL’s first no-hitter since 2005 in a 10-0 rout over Lakewood (Phillies). After issuing a two-out walk in the top of the first, Billings retired the next 23 hitters in a row before committing a fielding error himself that allowed a man to reach with one out in the ninth. Billings struck out eight and completed the game on 112 pitches.

“The third inning was really when I noticed I hadn’t given up a hit, but I tried my best not to think about it," Billings told the Asheville Citizen-Times. "The run support I got was awesome. I haven’t had too many starts where I got that kind of run support, so I just tried to make the most of it.”

Billings, 22, was drafted as a senior out of San Diego State in the 30th round last year. This was the first time he had pitched deeper than the seventh inning all year, and he improved to 8-7, 3.73 in 118 innings.

Prospect Nuggets

Rome (Braves) left fielder Cody Johnson went 3-for-5 with a double and a stolen base in a 12-10 loss to West Virginia (Brewers). Johnson’s strikeouts have picked up again, as he’s fanned 33 times in 77 at-bats in July, but he’s still hitting better than he has in any other month, putting up a line of .286/.317/.494 … Jason Heyward served as the Braves’ DH and went 2-for-5 with a triple, his fourth of the season … Charleston (Yankees) catcher Jesus Montero didn’t start the RiverDogs’ game in Greensboro (Marlins), but he came off the bench in the ninth and delivered a game-winning pinch-hit RBI single as the RiverDogs avoided a sweep with a 4-3 win.

What To Watch For Today

The SAL has Thursday off.
