Here's a look at top prospects to watch today in Minor League action:
Hitter to watch:Josh Bell (Pirates' No. 3), Indianapolis at Toledo (Opening game of twin bill start at 5:35 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Bell, the No. 44 overall prospect, has five hits in his last six at-bats after a 2-for-3 day Thursday. The first base prospect, who has been working on his power, collected a pair of extra base hits -- a double and a homer -- for Triple-A Indianapolis. Bell is clearly seeing the ball well right now and will have plenty of opportunities to add to his offensive numbers (.327, 12 homers and 51 RBIs) as Indianapolis is slated to take part in a doubleheader.

Pitcher to watch:Francis Martes (Astros' No. 3), Corpus Christi vs. Springfield (8:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Runs are not easy to come by against the No. 36 overall prospect. Martes has held opponents to one earned run or less in seven of his last eight starts. The right-hander threw seven scoreless in his last start and has given up one earned run in his last 11 innings.
Duel of the Day: Kyle Freeland (Rockies' No. 7) vs. Clayton Blackburn (Giants' No. 11), Albuquerque at Sacramento (10:05 p.m. ET on MiLB.TV)
Freeland got off to a terrific start, allowing just three earned runs over his first five starts at Double-A Hartford. However, the season has been a bit rockier for the southpaw since then. He's allowed four or more runs in three of his last four starts and gave up 11 hits in six innings in his Triple-A debut on June 25.

The last time Blackburn took the mound, nothing went right. The 23-year-old gave up 11 runs (nine earned) in two innings. Blackburn was in a decent rhythm before that. Prior to that rough start, the right-hander had thrown at least six innings in six straight starts and given up two earned runs or less in five of six.
