Outfielders Hunter Renfroe and Yeison Asencio capped a five-run sixth inning with back-to-back homers on Saturday night to lead Double-A San Antonio to a 5-4, Texas League win over Frisco in San Antonio.

Asencio followed with his 11th homer provided the final -- and decisive -- run. After his 2-for-3 performance, Asencio is 7-for-24 (.292) with three homers and seven RBIs over his last five games, and is hitting .283 on the season for the 46-60 Missions.
