Surprise 2, Glendale 1 It was a banner day for the Houston Astros organization all around. While the big league club knotted up the World Series with the second no-hitter in Fall Classic history, one of the Astros' prospects continued his stellar showing in the Arizona Fall League. Third-base prospect

Glendale 4, Peoria 0 It hasn’t been the smoothest start for Matt McLain (.172 AVG) in the Fall League. But the Reds’ fifth-ranked prospect broke out in a big way, with his first home run of the campaign in the Desert Dogs' first shutout of the season. The fifth-inning solo

Mesa 6, Surprise 3 Ronny Simon took over the Fall League lead in RBIs after driving in four for the Solar Sox on Thursday, bringing his total to 18 over 16 games. The 22-year-old kicked off the scoring with an RBI groundout in the first inning before his game-changing drive

Glendale 14, Scottsdale 12 The Desert Dogs and the Scorpions combined for 14 runs, 12 hits, and four home runs, including a grand slam, in the first two innings at Camelback Ranch, and then really started scoring. But it was Edouard Julien, the club’s No. 14 prospect, who stood out

Salt River 3, Peoria 0 Is any pitcher having a better Fall League than Rafters’ lefty Joey Wentz? The Tigers' 24th-ranked prospect logged four more scoreless innings to help Rafters post a shutout win over the Javelinas. Wentz struck out three and didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning

Surprise 7, Glendale 2 Henry Davis showed the skillset that made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 Draft, and fellow Pirate Quinn Priester was strong out of the gate for the Saguaros. The fifth-inning solo homer was the first this fall for baseball's No. 19 overall prospect

Salt River 9, Scottsdale 1 After losing eight straight to open the Fall League campaign, the Rafters have won five of their last six and none by a bigger margin than their latest convincing victory. No. 2 Cardinals prospect Masyn Winn connected on his first home run of the AFL

Scottsdale 6, Peoria 4 You get an inside-the-park home run! You get an inside-the-park home run! The Scorpions used two — that’s right, two — en route to their win over Peoria.

Mesa 1, Glendale 1 (F/8) A pitchers' duel led off the Chase Field tripleheader. Justin Fall worked around three hits and two walks with four strikeouts across five scoreless frames for the Solar Sox. The Marlins southpaw shook off a tough AFL debut by using a four-pitch mix and going

Mesa 19, Salt River 8 Power continued to be the name of the game in the Arizona Fall League, and Addison Barger added on with two home runs for Salt River in its 19-8 loss to Mesa. Toronto’s 13th-ranked prospect collected two of the Rafters’ four hits and drove in

Glendale 11, Salt River 9 Zac Veen led all hitters with four knocks and three RBIs in the Rafters' loss. The top-ranked Rockies prospect finished a triple shy of a cycle, lacing a two-run double to left in the first before walking in the third. Veen slugged a 420-foot solo

Surprise 11, Salt River 6 Jordan Lawlar rode a hot bat as he ascended three levels of the D-backs' system this season, and the No. 12 overall prospect showed no signs of cooling off in his debut in the desert. Arizona's third-ranked prospect collected a pair of hits -- including

Glendale 3, Mesa 2 Sometimes all it takes is one swing. For Korey Lee, Wednesday's sixth-inning at-bat might have been the one. Mired in a 2-for-25 slump entering his third plate appearance of the afternoon, the top Astros prospect evened the score with a two-run homer. The clout was Lee's

Surprise 9, Scottsdale 7 As a whirlwind debut season comes to a close for Austin Wells, he can be forgiven for wanting it to go on a little bit longer. The No. 6 Yankees prospect doubled twice, singled and drove in four runs to help the Saguaros rally from an

Salt River 12, Surprise 5 The final week of the AFL season offered Ryan Vilade an opportunity to clear away a 2-for-20 skid that had dropped his average and OPS down to .215 and .578 respectively. The No. 5 Rockies prospect took full advantage of that on Monday. Vilade reached
