Bregman among top prospect performers Wednesday

It’s been five starts and 25 innings since Jon Harris has given up an earned run. The Blue Jays’ No. 4 prospect is in the middle of the best stretch of his young career and Wednesday’s start against Fort Wayne was just the latest example.

The 22-year-old right-hander fired seven scoreless frames for Lansing, while giving up just four hits and a walk.

Harris fanned a career-high 11, nearly tripling his previous high of four.

“I was able to throw all four of my pitches for strikes today,” Harris told MiLB.com. “And I got some big swings and misses at key times.”

Harris was stuck with a no-decision, but is 2-0 with a 1.05 ERA this season.

• Anthony Alford may have found his swing. The Blue Jays’ top prospect was mired in a deep slump, that dropped his average to .106, but the outfielder has hits in each of his last three game and recorded his first multi-hit game of the season on Wednesday. After going 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs for Dunedin, Alford is hitting .153.

• Cubs’ No. 18 prospect Mark Zagunis was 4-for-4 with a double for the Tennessee Smokies. Zagunis, drafted in the third round of 2014, now has four career four-hit games.
