Zyhir Hope home run streak ended at three games on Sunday. He probably won’t lose any sleep over it, though, as he made up for it by collecting four more hits.
Hope, the Dodgers’ No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 19 overall, went 4-for-6 for Double-A Tulsa in a 9-8 extra-innings loss to Wichita at Equity Bank Park. It was his second time in his past four games with a quartet of hits and the third time he’s done it this season. The scorching-hot Hope also has at least one hit in six straight and multiple hits in four straight.
The left-handed-hitting outfielder notched his first hit on a ground ball to the right side in the third inning, getting stranded at second base after advancing on a throwing error.
Hope and fellow Top 100 prospect Mike Sirota (LAD No. 2, MLB No. 11) kicked off a five-run fifth for the Drillers. Sirota led off the inning with a solo home run, extending his incredible on-base streak to 68 games. Hope later singled on another ground ball, this time to shortstop, beating it out by hustling hard out of the box. He scored on a Kole Myers single two batters later.

Hope singled again in the eighth on a sharp liner to right field, and he rounded out his day with a double down the right-field line in the 10th. The extra-base hit pushed Jake Gelof to third base, which allowed Gelof to score on an ensuing wild pitch, giving Tulsa an 8-6 lead. Wichita’s Quinn McDaniel earned the walk-off, plating two runs with a single in the home half of the 10th.
Hope has gone 13-for-23 with three long balls and 12 RBIs in his past four games, raising his season marks to a .289/.363/.505 slash. He has 13 home runs and, on Saturday, became the first player at Double-A to reach 70 RBIs, boasting 71 total.
