The Dodgers outfielder collected a career-best five hits and drove in five runs to lead Triple-A Oklahoma City past Colorado Springs, 11-8, at Security Service Field.
Ramos scored twice and fell a triple shy of his second career cycle. He completed the feat for Triple-A Pawtucket on April 4, 2016.

Gameday box score
Ramos got two chances at the milestone, singling to center in the seventh and delivering a base hit to left in the ninth that produced his fifth RBI, matching the season high set on April 13 against New Orleans. He's driven in eight runs in his last two games after plating four in his previous 20 contests, which included a two-week stint on the disabled list with a hip flexor injury.
Selected by the Red Sox in the fifth round of the 2010 Draft, Ramos entered play with a .273 average in 742 Minor League games. He reached Triple-A for the first time in 2016 but has yet to earn a call to the Majors. The big night boosted his 2018 slash line to .287/.342/.453 with 36 extra-base hits and 55 RBIs in 104 games, all with Oklahoma City.
Dodgers No. 13 prospect
Asher (6-4) allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out three in 3 2/3 innings for Colorado Springs, which squandered a chance to clinch the Pacific Coast League's American Northern Division title.
