Here is a quick recap of what each of the Phillies minor league squads and some of their top prospects did last night as they work their way up to the big leagues.

The Fightin Phils saw a lack of strong pitching from Nick Pevetta, who in five and two-thirds innigns allowed seven runs on six hits, two of which were home runs. Pevetta falls to 4-3 on the season for Reading.

Joely Rodriquez went 1 and a third innings, allowing three hits and striking out two batters.

Tom Windle also made an appearance in which he allowed a solo home run and recorded one strikeout.

Offensively, catcher Jorge Alfaro continued to dominate Double-A pitching. The righty went 2-4 with a solo home run to raise his batting average up to .355. He was also caught stealing for the second consecutive day.

Dylan Cozens had a double, but also struck out.

Cody Asche has yet to get a hit during his rehab assignment in Reading, falling to 0-7 as he works back from an oblique injury.

Reading will attempt to regroup as they send Ricardo Pinto (1-1) out for the eighth time this season.
