Rockies prospects: Ryan Warner, Konner Wade come up big on the mound

Rockies pitching prospect Ryan Warner settled for a no-decision after allowing only one earned run on three hits and a walk in six innings of work in Short Season-A Tri-City's 6-4 win over Eugene on Sunday.

Warner struck out six batters and induced eight ground-ball outs in his second start of the season. After leaving with the game tied, 2-2, heading into the seventh inning, the Rockies' third-round pick in 2012 now has a 3.27 ERA with 11 strikeouts in 11 innings thus far.

Dust Devils relievers Josh Mueller and Jerad McCrummen allowed runs in the seventh and eighth innings, putting their team in a two-run hole entering the bottom of the eighth. However, Tri-City scored four runs in that frame, three of which crossed the plate on David Bergin's two-out home run. Bergin, 24, is quite old for the Northwest League, but he shouldn't be there too much longer after a blistering start. He's hitting .462/.500/.885 through eight games in a notorious pitcher's environment.

Wade pitches Asheville to shutout victory

Konner Wade allowed only four hits and a walk in seven scoreless innings and Michael Benjamin had a couple of hits and a run scored in Low-A Asheville's 1-0 win over Augusta.

Wade struck out only two batters but got the majority of his outs on the ground. Colorado's seventh-round pick in 2013 lowered his ERA to 4.54 in 77⅓ innings. One big red flag is that he's not striking anybody out; Wade has whiffed only 41 batters this season.

David Dahl and Raimel Tapia had the only two non-Benjamin hits for the Tourists, who scored their lone run on a throwing error that took place during a double steal in the fifth inning.
