Here's a look at top prospects to watch Friday in Minor League action:
Hitter to watch: Daniel Palka (Twins' No. 28)
Chattanooga vs. Tennessee (7:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Palka may be well on his way toward establishing a new career high for homers. The Twins' prospect has made a habit of jogging around the bases recently, as he has three multi-homer games this month, including Thursday's contest in which he went 2-for-3 with two homers and four RBIs.
After hitting a career-high 29 long balls in 2015, Palka was sent from the D-backs to the Twins in an offseason trade, and clearly his power carried over to the new organization. Through 56 games, Palka is hitting .270 with 14 homers and 47 RBIs.

Pitcher to watch: Lucas Giolito (Nationals' No. 1)
Harrisburg vs. Akron (7:00 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Baseball's top prospect has shown he is deserving of the honor in each of his last three starts. Over that span, Giolito have given up three earned runs over 19 innings with 20 strikeouts.
Giolito is 4-2 with a 2.98 ERA this season, a number that he's reduced in six straight outings. The 21-year old struck out a season-high eight in his last start, but more importantly, he threw 66 of his 88 pitches for strikes. Looking to string together a fourth straight quality start, Giolito takes the hill against Akron on MiLB.TV.

Duel of the day: A.J. Cole (Nationals' No. 7) vs. Chad Kuhl (Pirates' No. 16)
Syracuse vs. Indianapolis (7:15 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
After a pair of average outings, Cole is looking for a strong start against Indianapolis. The Nationals' prospect has given up three runs in each of his last two outings. However, he has not lost a start since May 8.

Kuhl gave up a pair of homers in his last start and was yanked after 3 2/3 innings, his shortest outing of 2016. Prior to that rough outing, Kuhl had gone at least five innings in nine straight starts, a number he will look to hit once again Friday. The 23-year-old is 5-1 with a 1.75 ERA this season.
