Daz Cameron (Greeneville Astros 2015), Deivi Garcia (Pulaski 2017), Nolan Gorman (Johnson City 2018), and Kyle Tucker (Greeneville Astros 2015) had incredible games on Saturday.
Tigers OF Daz Cameron , Triple-A Toledo: 3-for-5, HR, RBI, BB -- Cameron delivered his second three-hit game of the season nearly two months after his first. Detroit's fifth-ranked prospect clubbed a solo homer in the fifth inning on a line drive to left field. It was his sixth homer of the year and marked the second time he's scored three times in a game. With hits in nine of his last 10 games, he's moved his slash line up to .239/.318/.440.
Yankees RHP Deivi Garcia , Double-A Trenton: 6 IP, 1 R/ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 10K-- The Yankees' fourth-ranked prospect fanned 10 in the Thunder's 5-2 win in Binghamton, reaching double digits for the third time in nine starts across two levels this season. Garcia struck out the side in the first inning and fanned two more in the third, fourth and sixth. The 20-year-old is averaging just under 15.5 punchouts per nine innings and has a .196 opponents' batting average in five starts since he was promoted to the Eastern League at the end of April.
Cardinals 3B Nolan Gorman , Class A Peoria: 3-for-5, 2B, 2 RBIs -- Smacking three hits is certainly one way to respond from an 0-for-4 showing from the night before. The top Cardinals prospect opened the scoring with a single to center field in the first inning and doubled home another run in the seventh. MLB.com's 35th overall prospect has established himself as one of the top hitters in the Midwest League, despite being 19 years old. He ranks in the top five on the circuit in homers (nine) RBIs (35), slugging percentage (.509), OPS (.883), total bases (84) and runs scored (33).
Astros OF Kyle Tucker , Triple-A Round Rock: 1-for-4, HR, 2 RBIs -- The stat line may not jump out, but the Astros' No. 2 prospect kept his own streak alive by homering in a third consecutive game. MLB.com's No. 13 overall prospect is hitting .266/.345/.614 on the year. A month ago, those numbers were .159/.216/.391. The steady improvement has led to 15 long balls and 34 RBIs, plus nine doubles, in 162 at-bats as he hopes Houston's crowded outfield situation eventually presents an opportunity for him to contribute.
