Priester made his Double-A debut on Sunday, pitching three innings, allowing one hit and striking out three batters. His start didn’t go well in Greensboro, and Bradenton he didn’t miss many bats, but Priester threw more curveballs with Altoona, resulting in more whiffs.
Mike Burrows
It was a pretty special day in the minor leagues, as the top two pitching prospects still in the minors pitched — at new levels as well. Burrows made his Triple-A debut and struck out four in three innings, also allowing four hits and two runs in the process.
The stat line didn't really speak to Mike Burrows' performance on Sunday, his first start at AAA. Here are some highlights with the full video coming this week. #LetsGoBucs pic.twitter.com/eg7codeD6g

Jack Suwinski
Of all the Pirates prospects expected to make their debut this year, Suwinski probably wasn’t the one that many picked to actually be in the running for NL Rookie of the Year. The outfielder hit his second walk-off home run, which also was his third overall on the day. Suwinski now is tied with Bryan Reynolds for the team lead in home runs.
Just in case you wanted to watch all three of Jack’s home runs again. pic.twitter.com/9MybKcNmVB

Gorkski hit his 22nd home run of the season, and hasn’t slowed down since being called up from Greensboro. He now has double the amount of anyone player in the Pirates system.
Travis Swaggerty
After a slow start to the season, Swaggerty is hitting every bit like you’d expect a former first round pick waiting for an actual opportunity in the majors. In the meantime, here’s his go-ahead two-run home run on Sunday in the eighth inning.
.@TSwaggerty_21's clutch go-ahead homer to end the series on a high-note.
Rodolfo Castro
The payoff pitch was crushed.
Castro really stepped into this three-run home run in the top of the first, his fifth with Indianapolis this season.
