Astros Prospect Report: May 12th, 2016

Fresno's Rally Falls Short in 9-5 Loss

Hey, that Colin Moran fella hit his second home run of the season. It came in the ninth inning with one runner on to contribute toward a three run bottom of the ninth. However, Jandel Gustave and Kevin Chapman had given up five runs in the top of the ninth that put it out of reach.

Fisher Leads Hooks to 6-5 Walk-Off Win

Derek Fisher hit a home run early in the game but it was his second home run that stole the game. After allowing a three runs in the top of the ninth, the Hooks faced a tied game. Thats when Fisher lead off the bottom of the ninth with his seventh home run of the season. That ties him with Alex Bregman for the team lead and tied for fifth in the league. All while playing equally in CF and RF. He's also lowered his strikeout rate to 21% and raised his walk rate to 15%.

Lancaster Outhits RC to Win 7-3

The offense might be starting to click in Lancaster. They've been stringing together hits in several games but the runs haven't piled on due to a lack of extra base hits. There were four in the last game. Drew Ferguson is one that I wrote last week would be one I anticipated to provide some offense. He reached based three times and also hit a home run.

QC Falls Short in Nearly Five Hour Game 10-9

Game time was four hours and forty-eight minutes. It spread thirteen innings. A total of eleven pitchers were used. One of those pitchers was Yoanys Quiala who made his stateside debut. He pitched thirty-five innings in the Dominican Summer League after being one of the first signees out of Cuba for the Astros. He had a game score of forty-two, but lets realize the large bump in competition between the DSL and Low-A.
