Zyhir Hope, Mike Sirota keep pushing Double-A Tulsa, even as Hope’s homer streak hits a pause

Double-A Tulsa kept its offense moving on Monday, and two of the Dodgers’ best minor-league trade pieces gave the Drillers a clear explanation for why they have been so difficult to hold down at the plate. Zyhir Hope, the Dodgers’ No. 3 prospect and MLB Pipeline’s No. 19 overall, saw his home run streak stop at three games after Sunday, but he responded by going 4-for-6 in the opener’s extra-innings loss to Wichita. In a game that mattered less for a single streak and more for the broader pattern, Hope extended a longer run of multi-hit production and kept showing that he can control at-bats even when the long ball is not immediately coming.

Hope’s performance came in a 9-8 extra-innings loss at Equity Bank Park, but the line itself did not flatten after the missed homer streak. MLB reported that it was Hope’s second four-hit game in his past four contests, and that he has at least one hit in six straight while delivering multiple hits in four consecutive games. Those are not just comfort statistics. They point to a hitter who is finding damage on more than one pitch window, then sustaining it long enough to carry into the next series.

The structure of Tulsa’s scoring in the fifth inning also helped clarify how the Dodgers view the upside in Hope’s profile. Hope and fellow Top 100 prospect Mike Sirota (LAD No. 2, MLB No. 11) triggered a five-run frame. Sirota led off the inning with a solo home run, and MLB said the blast extended his on-base streak to 68 games. Hope later singled to shortstop in the same inning, scoring on a Kole Myers hit two batters later, and Tulsa’s ability to string together that kind of sequence is the backdrop for why both players are drawing attention in the upper levels of the system.

Hope’s day did not end after the fifth. MLB reported that he added another single in the eighth on a line-drive to right field, then worked his way to an extra-base hit again by doubling down the right-field line in the 10th. That double helped set up a run when Jake Gelof advanced to third, with the inning ultimately turning on a wild pitch. Even though Wichita came back and won with a walk-off single in the home half of the 10th, Hope’s extra-base production kept the Drillers’ offense alive when it could have otherwise stalled late.

Beyond the game itself, MLB tied Hope’s current stretch to more season-level momentum. The report said he has gone 13-for-23 over his past four games with three home runs and 12 RBIs, raising his season slash line to.289/.363/.505. He has 13 home runs overall, and MLB noted that on Saturday he became the first player at Double-A to reach 70 RBIs, finishing with 71. For a prospect, those numbers matter because they reflect both frequency and impact, not merely a brief hot week.

Sirota’s role, meanwhile, has been defined by the same kind of consistency that shows up in advanced counting stats like on-base streaks. In this game, his solo homer began the five-run surge in the fifth and carried the on-base streak to 68 games, a run of results that suggests he is converting at-bats into traffic at an almost automatic pace. From a development standpoint, it is an additional indicator that Tulsa’s lineup is being anchored by players capable of producing on the same night, rather than relying on a single breakout hit.

For what to watch next, the clearest storyline is whether Hope’s power returns after the end of his three-game homer run and whether Tulsa’s late-inning offensiveness continues when games turn into bullpen battles. The other, more sustained question is whether Sirota’s 68-game on-base run can keep broadening his impact as the Drillers move through the second half of the Double-A schedule. Either way, MLB’s reporting makes the broader point that the Dodgers’ top prospects are not only performing, they are doing it in ways that line up with how organizations project stars to contribute.

In the short term, the outcome of this single extra-innings game will fade behind the same takeaway: Hope’s streak ended, but his production did not, and Sirota kept turning good at-bats into tangible results. That combination is what turns a prospect’s weekly stat line into a longer development trend, and it is why both hitters remain key names inside Los Angeles’ pipeline conversation.
