Baseball America Prospect Report -- August 1, 2019

Brailyn Marquez, LHP, Cubs -- Marquez fired six hitless innings for low Class A South Bend. The lefthander allowed just one walk while striking out eight batters. It was his second consecutive scoreless outing, needing just 72 pitches to make his way through six frames.

Jake Fraley, OF, Mariners -- Fraley had three hits in five at-bats for Triple-A Tacoma. The left fielder had a single and two doubles, driving in two runs and scoring once. It was a bounce-back performance for Fraley who slumped offensively over the previous week.

Andres Gimenez, SS, Mets -- Gimenez had two hits and a walk in the first game of a double header for Double-A Binghamton. The shortstop doubled and hit a solo home run in the second inning, matching his home run total from last season (6).

Drew Mendoza, 1B, Nationals -- Mendoza had four hits in five at-bats for low Class A Hagerstown. The infielder had four base knocks, including a game-winning RBI single. Washington’s No. 7 prospect has built up a five-game hit streak with two multi-hit performances during that span.

Mike Siani, OF, Reds -- Siani had three hits in four at-bats for low Class A Dayton. The center fielder collected two singles and a triple while coming around to score once. Siani also put his speed to use on offense as he stole second base, good for number 32 on the season.
