Asencio has two HRs, all six RBIs for Double-A San Antonio

Bill Center, longtime sportswriter for U-T San Diego, is an employee of the Padres.

Left fielder Yeison Asencio drove in all six San Antonio runs with a pair of homers, including a grand slam, Monday afternoon as the Double-A Missions defeated Tulsa 6-5 in San Antonio.

Asencio, 25, hit his grand slam in the first, and a two-run shot in the sixth.

The 6-foot-1, 225-pound left fielder was 2-for-3 and raised his batting average to .287 with his seventh and eighth homers. He has 38 RBIs on the season.

The Dominican Republic native signed with the Padres in 2009 under the name of Yoan Alcantara. He played in the 2013 Futures Game, on the World Team and was on the Padres' 40-man roster in 2013-14.

Asencio was named the No. 1 prospect in the Arizona Rookie League while hitting .348 with 46 RBIs and 50 runs scored in 2011. He led the low Single-A Midwest League in hitting with a .323 mark in 2012, and was a member of the Texas League postseason All-Star team last season when he hit .284 with 10 homers and 44 RBIs in 117 games with San Antonio.

Center fielder Alberth Martinez (.265) backed Asencio, going 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored.

Starting RHP James Needy, a product of Santana High, improved to 2-0 with a 3.21 earned run average since moving back to 39-49 San Antonio. He allowed five runs on eight hits, and a walk with five strikeouts in seven innings.

Right-hander Michael Dimock (2.08 ERA) allowed a hit with a strikeout in two-thirds of a scoreless inning. Right-hander Tayron Guerrero allowed a hit and a walk in 1 1/3 scoreless innings to record his 11th save.

Elsewhere, El Paso infielder Cody Decker finished seventh in the Triple-A Home Run Derby in Omaha.
