Notable Performances:

Monday night’s game was a great one for the Glendale pitching staff. Phillies prospect Yacksel Rios started the game with three no-hit innings and a trio of relievers threw no-hit innings after that.

Peoria didn’t notch its’ first hit until the seventh – and promptly scored a pair of runs – but it was still a good day for the Glendale arms as they allowed just two runs on three hits in the hitter-friendly AFL.

Best Play:

Atlanta’s Connor Lien caught a line drive in centerfield that appeared to be over his head. The outfield made a nice read on the ball and made a leaping grab as the ball was above him.

Best At-Bat:

It may not have been the “best” at-bat, but at the time it was the most important. Padres prospect Nick Torres led off the seventh inning with a single up the middle – ending Glendale’s bid for a combined no-hitter.

Worth Mentioning:

— White Sox No. 17 prospect Adam Engel drove in the game’s first run with an RBI single and finished 2-for-3 on the night. Engel isn’t the best hitting prospect in the world and is known more for his speed as he stole 65 bases this past season.

Engel’s speed was on display once again Monday as he went 1-for-2 in stolen base attempts. Read more about his night on MLBpipeline.com.

— The 2015 season was a forgettable one for Mariners’ James Paxton (he missed the bulk of the season with multiple injuries) and Monday’s start was equally forgettable.

Paxton pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed three runs – one earned – on five hits. However, the two unearned runs came as a result of Paxton’s own throwing error.

The left-hander got off to a strong start and looked good through the first two frames, but things fell apart in the third. The leadoff man reached via the Paxton error and then one strikeout later he surrendered three consecutive hits.

After retiring the first batter of the fourth, he gave up back-to-back hits and his night was complete.
