Fresno home runs: Matt Duffy (18, solo in 2nd), Tyler Heineman (2, solo in 5th), Jonathan Villar (5, solo in 6th), Jon Singleton (20, solo in 7th)
The Storm Chasers singled Dan Straily to oblivion as they jumped out to a 9-1 lead on the Grizzlies. They were able to cut the deficit, but Omaha hung on to take this series.
Straily allowed 9 runs on 11 hits (9 singles and 2 doubles), walked 3, and struck out 5 in 3.1 innings. The bullpen allowed just 2 hits over 4.2 scoreless innings. Kevin Chapman was first; he allowed a hit and fanned 1 in 1.2 innings. Joe Thatcher, James Hoyt, and.... Andrew Aplin each tossed a scoreless frame. Thatcher struck out 1 in a 1-2-3 6th, Hoyt allowed a hit and struck out 1 in the 7th, and Aplin threw a 1-2-3 8th.
4 of Fresno's 5 runs came on solo homers. The only run that was not driven in on a home run was scored by Jonathan Villar on an Alex Presley groundout in the 8th. Matt Duffy's homer gives him 101 RBI on the year. Villar finished 2-4.
The Grizzlies will look to avoid the sweep as Asher Wojciechowski takes on Yohan Pino. First pitch is at 2:30.
Corpus Christi 8, San Antonio 6

CC home runs: A.J. Reed 2 (10, 33 season; 3-run in 1st, solo in 7th), Colin Moran (9, 2-run in 3rd), Jon Kemmer (18, solo in 7th)
A.J. Reed continues to torture Minor League pitching, and we saw the return of a budding superstar down in South Texas.
George Springer made went 1-4 in his first rehab appearance. He led off and started in RF. 7 of the 8 runs were driven in by the 4 home runs hit by the heart of the Hooks lineup, which consisted of Colin Moran, A.J. Reed, and Jon Kemmer. The other run scored on an error in the 3rd that occurred after a single from Alfredo Gonzalez. Reed's 2 homers were his 2 hits on the night, and Kemmer also had a 2-hit night, which extended his hitting streak to 8 games. Danry Vásquez went 3-4 with 2 runs scored.
Edison Frias had a bare minimum quality start, allowing 7 hits (solo homer) and striking out 4. Travis Ballew allowed 3 runs (1 inherited runner charged to him) on 3 hits as he only got 1 out in the 7th. R.J. Alaniz allowed a hit and struck out 1 in 1.2 innings, and Jandel Gustave struck out 2 in a 1-2-3 9th to close it out.

Tri-City avoided the sweep as they erased a 5-0 deficit with 5 in the 7th to tie, and 2 in the 9th to break the tie.
Dex McCall sparked the rally in the 7th by reaching on an error. He put the ValleyCats on the board by scoring on a wild pitch. Richard Gonzalez, who was at the plate when that happened, ended up drawing a walk. Johnny Sewald followed by ripping an RBI double. Alex Melendez added an RBI single, and Bobby Wernes tied the game with a 2-run double. He had the game-tying hit in all 3 games of this series. Wernes had the go-ahead RBI single in the 9th, and he scored an insurance run on a double from Kolbey Carpenter.
Wernes (2B, 3 RBI, 2 BB, R), Sewald (2 2B, RBI, R), and Cesar Carrasco (R) all finished with 2 hits in this one.
