Tacoma 4, Oklahoma City 3 in 11 innings
W- Todd Coffey (2-0)
L- Andrew Robinson (0-2, 4-4 season)
OKC home runs: None.
The RedHawks walked off with the loss in the series opener after our old friend Humberto Quintero lined the game-winning single to right field.
How about Kiké Hernandez... he's on a 4-game hitting streak after going 2-4 with a double. All of 4 of them have been multi-hit games. He's got hits in 10 of his last 11 contests, and 9 of those have been multi-hit games. He's simply been on another level at the plate this month, hitting .384/.419/.605 with 4 homers and 10 RBI.
Matt Duffy tripled with 1 out in the 2nd and scored the 1st run of the evening on a sac fly from Carlos Perez. Austin Wates hit an RBI single in the 5th and then stole 2nd (19). An error on the play allowed Ronald Torreyes to score. Hernandez was the only RedHawk with a multi-hit game.
Brett Oberholtzer went 7 innings and allowed 3 runs, and all of them came off home runs. He allowed a solo homer to a rehabbing Michael Saunders in the 3rd and a 2-run homer to Q in the 7th. Obie allowed 5 other hits, walked 1, and struck out 4. Jose Veras, in his return to the Astros organization, worked around a hit and a walk to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out 2. Andrew Robinson pitched 2.2 innings and allowed the winning run (which was unearned) on 3 hits and struck out 5.
In game 2 of this series, Nick Tropeano will face Jordan Pries. First pitch is at 3:35.

W- Alec Asher (7-5)
L- Mike Hauschild (1-3, 3-4 season)
S- Phil Klein (10)
CC home runs: None.
@@#$#%%#%^%^&%^$!!!!!!
Mike Hauschild was having a magnificent start and then Pat Cantwell, Trever Adams, and Joey Gallo had to go ruin the whole bleeping thing. Hauschild allowed 3 hits, walked 1, and struck out 5 over 7 innings. He was perfect through 6, and then Cantwell broke it up with a single to open the 7th. Adams hit another single, and then Gallo took him deep to break the scoreless tie. That 3-batter stretch turned into the scoreline you see above. F you, Frisco.
Tyson Perez struck out 2 in a 1-2-3 8th, and Alex Sogard fanned 1 in a 1-2-3 9th.
The Hooks outhit the Roughriders 7-3, but that doesn't count towards the W-L column. Carlos Perdomo and Tyler Heineman had 2 hits apiece; Heineman's double was the Hooks' only extra-base hit.
Luis Cruz will get the start in the series finale. He'll take on Edwar Cabrera at 6:10.
Lake Elsinore 7, Lancaster 5
W- Chris Nunn (3-1)
L- Dan Minor (4-2)
S- Brandon Alger (4)
Lancaster home runs: Conrad Gregor (5, 6 season; 2-run in 6th)
This game was marred by an injury to Carlos Correa. He left the game after injuring his right leg while sliding into 3rd base. Initially, the fear was that he broke his fibula, but the outlook may be slightly more positive.
Nothing official on Correa from #JetHawks, but source now saying it doesn't look like broken fibula. Good news. #Astros

Early indication was that Correa broke his fibula but latest I've heard is that outlook had improved. #JetHawks #Astros

That was me exhaling a little.
As for the game itself, the JetHawks scored 4 in the 6th to break a scoreless tie, but the Storm hit back for 7 unanswered, which included a 6-run 7th.
Correa opened the scoring with the play in which he hurt himself: an RBI triple. Brandon Meredith added an RBI single, and then Gregor clubbed a 2-run shot. Gregor tripled to lead off the 8th and scored on a single from Roberto Peña, who extended his hitting streak to 14 games. The two of them, along with Tanner Mathis, had 2-hit nights. Teoscar Hernandez went 3-5 with a double and a run scored.
Chris Devenski went 6 innings and allowed 4 runs (2 inherited runners charged to him) on 6 hits (solo homer), walked 1, and struck out 3. Dan Minor pitched the 7th and in addition to allowing the 2 runners he inherited from Devenski to score, he gave up 3 of his own on 3 hits and struck out 1. Juan Minaya struck out 1 in a 1-2-3 8th.
After 10 days of rest, Mark Appel will get the start in the series finale. He'll face Coby Cowgill at 7:05.
