Two of the Brewers pitching prospects listed among the Top 100 Prospects of 1969 pitch gems on the same day. Single A Bainbridge starer Eric Johnson (#85 on Top 100 Prospects list) improves to 10-3 on the season with a 6-hit shutout of the Lincoln Whiskeyjacks. At AA Nashville, Justin Peacock (#75 on Top 100 Prospects list) earns his 8th win against 5 losses with a 2-0 win against the Newport News. Peacock allowed 6 hits also, while striking out 7 but also walking 5 batters. While neither Johnson nor Peacock are expected to ever star at the major league level, it is believed that one or both of them could be a useful member of the Brewers in the future at the back-end of the rotation.
