Vancouver 10 Hillsboro 3
The C's broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of the sixth and poured it on late to hammer the Diamondbacks affiliate. Miguel Hiraldo doubled home a pair of runs in the sixth to give the C's their first lead after tying the game in the fourth with a sacrifice fly. Hugo Cardona homered to begin the seventh. Leo Jiménez went 3-for-4 with four RBI by doubling home a first inning run, adding a sac fly in the seventh and singling home two more in the eighth. Zach Britton drew a bases-loaded walk in the eighth, his second free pass along with a double. Riley Tirotta had two doubles in his return to the C's lineup. Damiano Palmegiani singled and walked. Garrett Spain singled and threw out a runner at first base at part of a 9-3 double play.
Nick Frasso gave up two runs in three innings in his Nat Bailey Stadium debut. One of the runs was unearned but the other was a solo home run. He had two strikes on eight different hitters but could only manage one strikeout while walking one. Frasso did reach 100 miles per hour on the radar gun and was also up to 98. Sean Wymer got the win by scattering two hits and a walk over three shutout frames. Juan Nuñez served up a solo dinger in the seventh. Jol Concepcion walked a couple but struck out three over two innings to earn his fourth save.
