Peter O'Brien goes deep twice

Yankees prospect C Peter O'Brien went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBI on Sunday for Double-A Trenton.

O'Brien, 23, hit a three-run home run in the fourth inning and then added a two-run shot in the sixth. He was promoted to Double-A Trenton before the weekend series and hit safely in all three games, with each of his four hits going for extra-bases (three home runs and one double). It'll be interesting to see how much time O'Brien sees behind the plate, as top prospect Gary Sanchez is already playing at Trenton and ahead of him on the organizational depth chart. Prior to his promotion, O'Brien batted .321/.353/.688 with nine doubles, 10 home runs, 19 RBI and a 29/4 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 30 games for High-A Tampa.
