The Dodgers' top two prospects continue to rake in the Minors.
Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope, LA's No. 1 and No. 2 prospects per MLB Pipeline, each homered Tuesday in Double-A Tulsa's 17-7 rout of San Antonio at ONEOK Field.
The homers were part of a two-hit day for both players, with De Paula (MLB's No. 12 overall prospect) connecting for his second long ball and Hope (MLB No. 22) clubbing his fourth.

Hope's homer, a two-run blast, came during a three-run third inning for the Drillers. De Paula's dinger, a solo blast, came in the fifth. The productive day continued what's been a hot start for both players.
Hope's four homers are second most on the team, as are his 19 RBIs. Meanwhile, his .301 average ranks third.
De Paula's big game pushed his average to .338, second highest on the team, and gives him a team-best .942 OPS.
Both De Paula, 20, and Hope, 21, are estimated to reach the Majors at some point in 2027.
