Peters spouts four-hit game for Drillers

When DJ Peters hits the ball, it goes far. 
The Dodgers' eighth-ranked prospect smacked his Texas League-leading 22nd home run of the season on a four-hit night, driving in three runs as Double-A Tulsa beat Arkansas, 10-6, on Sunday at ONEOK Field.  

Peters yanked the first pitch he saw from Spencer Herrmann for a double to left field with two outs in the first inning. Staked to a 2-0 count against the left-hander in the third, the 22-year-old lined a single to center. He powered up in the fifth, sending an 0-1 offering from righty reliever Trevor Frank over the wall in left-center for a three-run shot. The homer put him one long ball ahead of Arkansas' Joey Curletta and Springfield's Lane Thomas. 
Behind 0-2 against Seattle's ninth-ranked prospectWyatt Mills, Peters shortened up against the righty and slapped a single to field in the seventh for his fourth knock of the game. Righty Matt Festa struck out the 2016 fourth-round pick to lead off the eighth.
