Hernandez among 10 top prospect performers Friday

Double-A Corpus Christi coasted to a 9-3 win over Frisco thanks to three homers from top prospects.

Astros No. 7 Teoscar Hernandez did most of the damage, swatting two deep balls and finishing 2-for-5 with four RBIs. The outfielder has at least one homer in his past three games and five total in his past five contests. His .206 average is the highest it's been since July 5 and Hernandez now has 13 jacks and 33 RBIs on the year.

Helping him out was No. 10 prospect A.J. Reed, who launched his 25th home run of the season -- good for second in the Minors -- and collected his 82nd and 83rd RBIs in a 1-for-5 night.
