Houston Astros Minor League Recap: 8/12/14

Congratulations to Michael Feliz for winning Midwest League Pitcher of the Week honors.

Also...

Jason Martin hit a home run.

Jason Martin, the Astros' 2013 8th-rounder out of Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, California, saw a Chris Pike fastball in his first at-bat of Tri-City's game against Hudson Valley. Pike left the ball up and a little away and Martin sent it over the opposite-field wall for his first professional home run.

Chris Carter, watch your back.
