Minors: Quintana blasts two more homers

Gabriel Quintana’s power surge continued Friday with two more home runs in Double-A San Antonio’s 5-4 win over Northwest Arkansas in Texas League action.

Quintana drove in two runs on his blasts, giving him 19 on the season. Two days earlier, the 23-year-old third baseman homered in both games of a doubleheader.

He is hitting .249 on the season and has driven in 64 runs for the Missions (51-73).

Nick Schulz (.284) also drove in three runs on his ninth homer.

Left-hander Tim Berry (8.33) allowed two runs in five innings in the win.
