Here's MLB Pipeline's roundup of the top prospect performances in the Minor Leagues on Tuesday.
:: Complete prospect coverage ::
Kyle Tucker isn't just knocking on the door of the Major Leagues -- he's nearly knocking it down.
Tucker, the Astros' No. 1 prospect (No. 10 overall), connected on a first-inning homer as he extended his hitting streak to 15 games in Triple-A Fresno's 9-5 loss against El Paso. It was the second homer in as many days for Tucker, who finished 1-for-5 at the plate in Tuesday's contest.
After a modest first two months of his season, Tucker has erupted in June to slash .411/.450/.678 with 37 hits, including 13 extra-base hits, in 22 games. The 21-year-old outfielder is hitting .484 (31-for-64) during his hitting streak, while his overall average has jumped from .269 to .316 thanks to nine multihit performances in that span.
Meanwhile, with 12 home runs and 13 steals already this season, Tucker is well on his way toward achieving his second straight 20-homer, 20-stolen base campaign after he totaled 25 and 21, in 2017. He also ranks among the Pacific Coast League leaders with 59 RBIs (second), 59 runs scored (second), 92 hits (third) and 153 total bases (third).

Right-hander Freddy Tarnok (Braves' No. 24) logged a career-high four scoreless innings, mixing one hit with one walk and five strikeouts, to earn the win out of the bullpen.

• Dodgers No. 13 prospect Cristian Santana had been 0-for-20 in his previous five games before connecting on a pair of solo homers in Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga's 6-0 win against Lake Elsinore. The two homers pushed Santana's season total to 12, a new career high for the 21-year-old first baseman after he went deep 10 times in 54 games during an eye-opening 2017 campaign.
• Giants first-rounder and No. 2 overall pick Joey Bart hit his first pro double in his first career multihit game in the Rookie-level Arizona League. The 21-year-old backstop finished the game 2-for-3 with a walk, one day after tallying his first career knock. Playing in 57 games as a Georgia Tech junior this past spring, Bart batted .359/.471/.632 with 16 homers.
• Marlins No. 20 prospectJordan Yamamoto was lights-out once again as he improved to 4-0 in six starts by leading Class A Advanced Jupiter past St. Lucie, 1-0. Tossing seven scoreless innings for a second straight start, the 22-year-old righty scattered four hits, walked one and struck out two while throwing 61 of his 92 pitches for strikes. Yamamoto sports a 1.30 ERA and 0.89 WHIP in 34 2/3 innings this season -- his first in Miami's system after coming over from Milwaukee in the offseason Christian Yelich trade.
• Pirates No. 10 prospectTaylor Hearn fired a seven-inning shutout, allowing four hits and striking out seven, in Game 1 of Double-A Altoona's eventual doubleheader sweep of Harrisburg. It was the first shutout of Hearn's career and his second complete game after the 23-year-old left-hander was credited with a complete game in his most recent turn -- a rain-shortened, four-inning loss. Hearn has been impressive in his first Double-A campaign, pitching to a 3.28 ERA with 83 strikeouts and 28 walks in 74 innings (14 starts).
