Connor Seabold gave the Boston Red Sox another reason to get excited about their farm system on Saturday.
The organization's No. 9 ranked prospect tossed seven scoreless innings in his start for the Worcester Red Sox. He allowed only one hit and one walk while striking out nine Scranton Wilkes-Barre RailRiders hitters.
Seabold carried a no-hitter through 6 1/3 innings.

Sox first-round pick Mayer notches first pro homer
Seabold was part of the 2020 trade that sent relievers Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Red Sox also acquired right-hander Nick Pivetta in the deal, which has proven to be a fleece for Chaim Bloom's front office.
Earlier in the season, Seabold was forced to miss two months due to an elbow injury. He made his debut for Triple-A Worcester on July 23 and has been up-and-down since. After Saturday's performance, the 25-year-old is 1-3 with a 3.73 ERA in eight starts.

If Seabold can continue to progress and stay healthy, he'll be a potential September call-up candidate for the big-league club.
