Notes
Joey Loperfido had a two-run homer, a single and a walk. Jonatan Clase singled and walked twice. Riley Tirotta had a triple, a walk and a stolen base. Orelvis Martinez doubled and Steward Berroa singled and walked. Daulton Varsho was 0-for-4. Andrew Bash opened with two shutout innings and Bobby Milacki put up four more goose eggs. Justin Bruihl was jolted for six runs (four earned) in 1-2/3 innings to take the loss. Will Robertson was summoned to get the final out and picked up a base hit in the pitcher's spot in the 11th.
Yohendrick Pinango homered and walked and Eddison Paulino had an RBI double. Ryan McCarty singled and walked. Michael Dominguez struck out five over three shutout innings of one-hit ball with two walks. Hunter Gregory also chipped in with two scoreless stanzas and two whiffs. Johnathan Lavallee gave up four unearned runs in the eighth, getting just one out.
Home runs by Je'Von Ward and Adrian Pinto could not stand up in a come-from-ahead walkoff loss. Pinto had two hits, as did Victor Arias, the reigning Northwest League Player of the Week. Arjun Nimmala was 1-for-4. Grant Rogers gave up his first earned run of 2025, a solo homer, but he struck out six to help offset three hits and four walks over five innings. Nate Garkow rung up five over two shutout frames. JJ Sánchez gave up two runs (one earned) in the ninth to take the loss.
Yeuni Munoz had a double among three hits and had an assist in right field. Manuel Beltre and (that's what you're paid for) Braden Berry had two-hit efforts and an RBI single. Kal Stephen surrendered two runs on six hits and fanned five over five innings. Bennett Flynn gave up a run and struck out three over two innings for the win. Javen Coleman put up two zeros and struck out one for the save.
