Astros prospect drives in 12 runs after promotion

When opportunity comes knocking, the best of the best not only answer but do so with authority.

Playing High-A level baseball isn’t exactly game seven of the World Series, but when the Houston Astros promoted outfielder Derek Fisher to their High-A level minor league team, he let them know it was the right move.

In his first game with the Lancaster JetHawks, Fisher, 21, broke a 61-year-old California League Record with 12 RBI in a 16-3 win against the High Desert Mavericks. Fisher went 4-for-6 with three home runs all before the end of the third inning.
