On Saturday night, Arizona Diamondbacks' outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt delivered his second multi-homer performance in his last three games.

Just two games prior, Waldschmidt had a breakout game with Double-A Amarillo. Though it had been somewhat of a struggle at the plate for him since earning his mid-season promotion, it would appear the 22-year-old is beginning to find his swing at the next level.

Waldschmidt finished 3-for-5 on the night — his fourth straight multi-hit game and third straight game with a homer. He has five homers and nine RBI in his last three games.

At the end of July, Waldschmidt was slashing .229/.344/.352. Though he was still working walks and limiting strikeouts, he was struggling to make solid contact.

So far in August, he's slashing .388/.516/.755, walking 11 times against only nine strikeouts. He's raised his season average all the way to .279 with this hot stretch.

Waldschmidt has a high ceiling with an excellent eye. If the power is beginning to come around, he may find himself in Reno sooner than later.

Waldschmidt's two-homer game wasn't the only exceptional performance in Amarillo Saturday night, however.

D-backs' No. 12 prospect LuJames Groover had an impressive 5-for-5 night at the plate, one double and four singles. Groover is now hitting .298 with an .805 OPS in Double-A.

Unfortunately, a poor night of pitching from the Sod Poodles sent them to a 10-4 loss, but not for lack of performance by Waldschmidt, Groover and the top of Amarillo's order.

Other Diamondbacks' Minor League Action

The Triple-A Reno Aces fell 8-5 Saturday. Rehabbing major leaguers Ildemaro Vargas, Gabriel Moreno and Pavin Smith each had a good night, however. Vargas singled and walked, Moreno doubled and walked, and Smith doubled twice with two bases on balls.
