All it took for Jake Cronenworth to pick up his first hit of the season was to get promoted to a higher level.
In Montgomery, Zach Lee had another nice outing. I certainly don’t believe he’s suddenly regained what made him a top prospect, but by game score, it was his best start since June 2013 in an earlier stint in the Southern League.
Triple-A Durham Bulls (4-7)
Durham’s offense was shut down by one-time Rays prospect Ryan Carpenter in a 2-1 loss to Toledo. The Bulls had just five hits — all of which were singles — and three of them came from the two newcomers, Andrew Velazquez and Jake Cronenworth.
