Allard (2-1) tossed six scoreless innings for Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday, scattering three hits and striking out 11 without walking a batter.
Matched up against White Sox No. 2 prospect Michael Kopech, Allard dominated and set a new career high for strikeouts. The 19-year-old lefty has been completely unfazed by his aggressive assignment this season and now has a 1.36 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB through his first 33 innings at Double-A. The Braves may keep him at the level for a while no matter how well he does given his youth, but it's not out of the question that Allard sees Triple-A before his 20th birthday on Aug. 13.
