Danny Wild / MLB.com : Harper hits 480-foot walk-off homer 

  • Top prospect Bryce Harper made his third Double-A homer a memorable one, sending a two-run walk-off shot over the center-field fence Friday to propel Harrisburg back into first place. Overall, he’s batting .296 with 17 homers and 58 RBIs in 105 games between Harrisburg and Hagerstown.
Brian Moynahan / Special to MLB.com : NYPL notes: Kaline carries on tradition 
  • Moynahan writes a nice piece on Connecticut Tigers second baseman Colin Kaline who is the grandson of Al Kaline, the Detroit Tigers Hall of Famer who has spent nearly six decades with the organization as a player, broadcaster and executive.
Andrew Pentis / MiLB.com : Moore fans 10 in six shutout innings 
  • MLB.com’s No. 1 pitching prospect Matt Moore, struck out 10 over six shutout innings Friday, but his early exit and the bullpen’s struggle cost him a fourth straight victory in Durham’s 3-2 road loss to the Buffalo Bisons.
