Your daily look at how the Astros’ minor league affiliates fared.

AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (18-27) lost 9-0 Grizzlies Boxscore

The Grizzlies offense struggled to get going, with only four hits and three walks on the night. Teoscar Hernandez doubled and stole a base for the best performance of the night.

AA: Corpus Christi Hooks (22-22) won 7-6 Hooks Boxscore

The Hooks prevailed 7-6 in a back and forth game with the Frisco RoughRiders. Corpus trailed three separate times in the game but a two run triple by Ramon Laureano in the top of the ninth gave them the victory after they entered the frame trailing by one.

J.D. Davis tied Derek Fisher for the Astros’ minor league lead in home runs by cracking his 10th. Drew Ferguson added a solo blast for the Hooks.

Starter Kyle Smith pitched five innings allowing three runs (zero earned runs) and striking out four.
