Over his last 10 games, Edwards is hitting .390 with just two strikeouts in 45 plate appearances. … Juan Fernandez had a double and drove in three runs for the TinCaps. Fernandez has been the backup behind Blake Hunt but he has produced when given the opportunity to play.

Boise Hawks 14 Dust Devils 12

Key Statistics: RF Matthew Acosta, 4-for-5. 3 R, 2B, RBI; 3B Kelvin Melean, 2-for-4, 2 R, BB; 1B Jason Pineda, 1-for-5, 2B, 4 RBI; LF Sean Guilbe, 3-for-5, 2 R, 2B; 2B Reinaldo Ilarraza, 2-for-4, 3 R, HR, 5 RBI, BB; LHP Jason Blanchard, 0.1 IP, 3 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB; LHP Dan Dallas, 2 IP, 4 H, R, 3 K; RHP Deacon Medders, 2 IP, 4 H, ER, 4 K.

Prospect Watch: The Dust Devils allowed eight runs in the first inning and ultimately lost to Boise. … Matthew Acosta had four hits and scored three runs for Tri-City. The former USC outfielder has been a spark plug for the Dust Devils at the top of the order. Acosta ranks third in the Northwest League in on-base percentage (.447) and fifth in batting average (.329). … Reinaldo Ilarraza homered, singled and walked out of the nine-hole Friday night. For Ilarraza, the homer was his first extra-base hit of the season. We’ve mentioned it before but Ilarraza has drawn an absurd amount of walks in 2019. The infielder has walked a league-high 25 times in 72 plate appearances and is carrying an odd-looking .213/.486/.277 slash-line. … Sean Gulibe tied a career-high with three hits — his second consecutive multi-hit game. The 19-year-old has five hits in his last two games and he is tied for the team lead in homers with two. There aren’t a lot of high draft picks on the Tri-City roster but Gulibe’s versatility and raw power make him a guy to watch this summer.

AZL Cubs-1 9 AZL Padres-1 3

Prospect Watch: The AZL teams split a pair of decisions Friday night. … C.J. Abrams doubled in five at-bats Friday, extending his hitting streak to 14 games. The sixth overall pick in June’s draft has hit safely in every game as a pro. … Victor Nova also had a hit to extend his hitting streak to 13 games. Nova failed to drive in a run, ending his RBI streak ends at eight games. The 19-year-old outfielder has a 1.234 OPS in 13 games this year. … Infielder Kelvin Alarcon had two hits and swiped his sixth bag of the young season. The 20-year-old was signed way back in the J2 class of 2015 but has yet to find his way to full-season ball. He struggled in Tri-City last year but he is off to a .465/.540/.512 start in the desert. … Bryan Mitchell threw five innings as he continues to rehab in Peoria. Mitchell seems like a good bet to be moved up to El Paso in the next week or so. … Chris Lincoln threw two innings and allowed a pair of earned runs. The 21-year-old was a reliever with UC Santa Barbara, serving as their closer. He was drafted in the fifth round last month.
