Notes & Information

Prospect Update: MLB Pipeline released an updated Top 100 prospect list today, as well as the top 30 prospects for each team. Shortstop Jazz Chisholm of Double-A Jackson remained at the top of the list for the Arizona Diamondbacks like he has all season. However, several Aces made the cut. Jon Duplantier was listed as the D-backs No. 2 prospect and No. 58 overall in baseball. Taylor Widener came in at No. 4 for Arizona. Andy Young came in at No. 10. Domingo Leyba at No. 23. Kevin Ginkel was listed at No. 28, and last but not least, Kevin Cron came in at No. 30 for the organization.

Too Young For You: Andy Young recorded his third three-hit game in the month of July tonight. Young finished 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs scored and two RBI. The D-backs number 10 prospect had four three-hit performances with Double-A Jackson this season and is 8-for-26 (.307) with three home runs this homestand.

If it's fair, it's gone: With four home runs tonight, the Aces now have 39 longballs against the Rainiers this season. It is the most against any one team and the clubs have one remaining contest to play. Kevin Cron has eight big flies against Tacoma this year, Yasmany Tomas is second on the team with six. Reno has hit four home runs against Tacoma for back-to-back nights.
