Johan Mieses' season couldn't have started much worse. The Dodgers' No. 26 prospect hit .100 in April and went from April 28 through May 8, a span of nine games and 25 at-bats, without a hit, dropping his average all the way to .068.
But then Mieses, who belted a career-high 28 homers to lead the Cal League in 2016, found his power stroke.
Mieses homered on Thursday, again on Friday and twice on Saturday in Double-A Tulsa's 9-4 win over Northwest Arkansas. The 21-year-old's breakout in the victory saw him go 3-for-4 with two homers, a double and four RBIs in what was his first multi-hit effort of the season.

"The power is as real as it gets when he connects," Drillers manager Ryan Garko told MiLB.com. "He hit two more tonight … he hit them a long way. He hit both of them as far as I've seen in this league."

The four RBIs also marked a season-high for Mieses, who now has eight over his past three games.
The rest of the best performances from top prospects Saturday
• No. 60 overall prospectLuke Weaver (Cardinals' No. 3) finally gave up a run but still put together a strong start for Triple-A Memphis. Weaver allowed a solo homer in the fifth, halting his scoreless streak at 19 2/3 innings to begin the season, but that was the only offense El Paso could muster. Weaver threw 101 pitches (72 strikes) over seven-plus innings, giving up six hits and one walk while striking out nine. The 101 pitches and nine strikeouts both marked season-highs for the right-hander, who now has a 0.41 ERA through 22 innings.

• Athletics prospects Matt Olson and Renato Nunez put on a power display in Triple-A Nashville's win over Albuquerque.

Nunez hit a two-run homer in the third and has gone deep six times in the past 11 games.
