Pipeline preview: Johnson starts for Pawtucket

Bregman has been one of the hottest hitters in the Minors to begin the season, batting .395/.480/.767 with five home runs and 14 RBIs during his season-opening 11-game hitting streak for Double-A Corpus Christi. He's already hit more homers than he did in 66 games during his professional debut last summer, after the Astros selected him second overall in the Draft, and they've all come in his last seven contests -- including his first grand slam and walk-off as a pro. Meanwhile, he's struck out just three times in 51 plate appearances. Bregman and Corpus Christi take on Frisco at home at 8:05 p.
