There were many impressive pitching performances across the Minor Leagues on Friday, but no hurlers dazzled quite like Top 100 prospects Yohander Mendez (No. 49) and Mike Soroka (No. 69) did as they made no-hit bids for their respective Double-A clubs.

Mendez, the Rangers' No. 2 prospect, tossed six no-hit frames for Double-A Frisco before finishing seven scoreless innings of two-hit ball. The 22-year-old lefty issued three walks and struck out five, throwing 64 of his 94 pitches for strikes, as the RoughRiders blanked San Antonio, 3-0.

Mendez improved to 2-2 with the win, his first since his season debut on April 8, and his ERA now sits at 3.12 through 43 1/3 innings after the scoreless performance.

As for Soroka, the Braves' No. 4 prospect allowed just one hit and one walk in 6 2/3 innings after he carried a perfect game into the seventh inning for Double-A Mississippi. The 19-year-old right-hander punched out five and generated another 10 outs on the ground before departing the game with a season-high 89 pitches (54 strikes).

"It was just kind of resetting, last few outings, I wouldn't say I struggled, but sometimes things don't go your way and you just got to keep battling through that," Soroka told MiLB.com. "We just kind of set the game plan and seeing the glove and attack it with my best stuff. Balls were hit to guys and guys made really nice plays today and it was one of those days where everything kind of goes your way."
