Astros prospect 1B Jonathan Singleton enjoyed a big game Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI for Triple-A Oklahoma City.
The 22-year-old had been slumping over the last few weeks after opening the season on fire, as he was batting just .192/.348/.385 with four extra-base hits in his previous 16 games headed into Thursday. On the year, Singleton has posted a 1.028 OPS with 19 extra-base hits (11 home runs), 31 RBI and a 33/23 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 33 games for Oklahoma City. With George Springer now manning right field for the Astros, it's seemingly only a matter of time until Singleton joins him in the major leagues.
