Phillies prospect Crawford contributes to win in Futures Game

J.P. Crawford, the Phillies' top-rated prospect, provided a run-scoring single Sunday in the U.S. team's 10-1 win against the World team in the Futures Game at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.

Crawford, who started at shortstop and batted second, finished 1 for 3 and scored a run. The 20-year-old star at double-A Reading also popped out to the catcher and struck out. It was his second consecutive July representing the Phillies in the game.

Aaron Nola, the Phillies' top pitching prospect, also represented the club, but did not pitch because of his six-inning start Friday night for triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 22-year-old righthander, nearing a major-league promotion, is listed as the IronPigs' Thursday starter.
