Notable Performance:

— Cubs No. 7 prospect Pierce Johnson put together another strong outing. Chicago’s seventh-ranked prospect threw five shutout innings in his last start and followed that up with four innings of one run ball Wednesday.

Johnson threw 47 of his 65 pitches for strikes and struck out six. Read more about him on MLBpipeline.com.

Best Play:

— Nationals prospect Chris Bostick has made some nice plays throughout the Fall and made another Wednesday as he fielded a ball in shallow right, did a 360, and forced out a runner at second.

Best At-Bat:

— D-backs prospect Gabby Guerrero, Vladimir’s nephew, hit a solo home run out to right. The home run was Guerrero’s second of the AFL and extended his hitting streak to five games. Guerrero has hit in spurts during the AFL and will remind several fans of Vladimir Guerrero as he has a free swinging approach at the plate and hits without batting gloves.

Worth Mentioning:

— Marlins prospect Austin Dean had a nice day at the plate. The outfielder singled, stole a base and scored in his first at-bat and then drove in a run with a base hit in his second at-bat. Dean finished 2-for-4.

— Fellow Miami farmhand J.T. Riddle also had a good day at the plate. Riddle showed off a good approach and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the third and then went to the opposite field for a two-RBI ground-rule doubt in the sixth.

— D-backs No. 5 prospect Yoan Lopez has been up and down in the Fall League and Wednesday was the latest example. The right-hander retired the side in order in the first, but allowed at least two baserunners in each of the next three frames.

Lopez threw 38 of his 75 pitches for strikes and was lifted after 4 1/3 innings. He allowed three runs on seven hits.
