The speedy center fielder stole 5 bases on the week while also collecting a double and a triple. In Greenville's victory over Lexington on Sunday, Fuentes went 4-for-5, finishing just a home run shy of the cycle.
Mills, 25, took home the honors with a two-start week that saw him yield just one earned run.

After struggling in his three previous starts, the right hander fired 7.0 innings and allowed just one unearned run against Gwinnett on May 11. He followed up that performance with a 5.0 inning outing in which he allowed just 1 run on 2 hits.
