Rays' Honeywell among Minors' top performers Sunday

Rays No. 6 prospect Brent Honeywell didn't get a chance to make history on Sunday afternoon, but he still turned in one of the Minor Leagues' best pitching performances this season.

The 20-year-old righty was pulled after seven no-hit innings for Class A Bowling Green, taking a perfect game into the sixth inning before giving up a lone walk. Sunday marked the third time this season that Honeywell has blanked the opposing side -- he gave up only one hit in each of the first two instances. As one might expect, his season WHIP is now a skinny 0.71.

Honeywell was selected No. 72 overall by Tampa Bay last summer, and proceeded to go 2-1 with a 1.07 ERA for Rookie League Princeton. With a win over Fort Wayne on Sunday, he improved his season record to 3-2 with a 1.66 ERA.

Cardinals No. 3 prospect Alex Reyes (No. 99 overall) pitched three innings of no-hit ball but took the loss for Class A Advanced Palm Beach.

Reyes has only given up three earned runs in his past six starts, spanning 30 2/3 total innings.
