Josh Staumont put together another strong performance and stymied the Arkansas offense as he led Double-A NW Arkansas to a 2-0 win on Monday night.
The Royals' No. 9 prospect fired 57 of his 95 pitches for strikes and gave up just two hits across six scoreless innings as the Travelers avoided a sweep against Arkansas.
Staumont got off to a rough start at the Double-A level, posting a 6.60 ERA through his first seven starts, but he has posted back-to-back gems in his most recent outings. Prior to Monday's scoreless start, Staumont fired seven no-hit innings last week.

Not only did the 23-year-old follow that up with another strong performance, but he also corrected the one major flaw from his last start.
After issuing five walks in that seven-inning outing, Staumont came back with much better command on Monday as he issued just one free pass.
Other top prospect performances from Monday's action:
• No. 10 overall prospect Kyle Tucker (Astros' No. 1) came up clutch in Double-A Corpus Christi's win over San Antonio in Game 2 of a doubleheader. Down to their final strike, Tucker came through with a three-run homer, his 23rd, to put the Hooks up 12-11 -- a lead they'd hang on to in the bottom half of the frame. The homer wasn't Tucker's only contribution as he also added a two-run double as part of his 2-for-4 night.
