Another night of Astros minor league play is in the books. See how the prospects performed last night.

Reed carried the Grizzlies to the win. In the top of the first Reed got Fresno on the board with a 2 run HR, his 15th HR in AAA. Frias made his second start in AAA and allowed 2 runs in the first, but that is all he would allow. He finished tossing 6 innings allowing just the 2 runs. Fresno scored again in the 3rd with Fontana scoring on a wild pitch. In the 4th inning Kemp drew a bases loaded walk to extend the lead to 4-2. Kemmer added some insurance with a 2 run HR in the 8th, his 10th HR of the season. Reed capped off his night with an RBI double in the 9th to make it a 7-3 game. Hoyt tossed a perfect 9th with a strikeout to seal it.

AA: Corpus Christi Hooks (64-44) won 7-4 (BOX SCORE)

Big 5th inning lifts Corpus to the win. Thornton made his second start in AA and went 6 innings allowing just 1 run with 0 BB/6 K. Corpus was shutout until the 5th where they put up 5 runs. In that inning they got a 2 run HR from Garcia, 2 run double from Davis and an RBI single from Fisher. The Hooks added another run on a Stubbs solo HR in the 7th inning, his 2nd HR in AA. San Antonio would attempt a comeback scoring 3 in the 8th but McDonald added some more insurance with a solo HR. West pitched a scoreless 9th to pick up the save.
