Omaha 9, Fresno 1
W- Jake Junis (3-5)

Fresno home runs: Tony Kemp (9, solo in 3rd)
Rough start to a new month for the Grizz.
Tony Kemp homered to lead off the 3rd for Fresno's only run; it was also their only extra-base hit of the day. Drew Ferguson pinch-hit for Kemp in the 8th and singled in his first AAA plate appearance.
Kent Emanuel... had a tough day, and I'll leave it at that. The one hit that Jacob Dorris allowed in his 2 innings was a solo homer to Cheslor Cuthbert in the 6th. Dorris struck out 1 in his outing. Ashur Tolliver worked around a hit to throw a scoreless 8th, striking out 1.

Kyle Tucker scored Corpus Christi's first run on an error in the 6th. Jason Martin added another run with an RBI single. Martin went 2-3 and hit another RBI single in the 8th inning. Jon Singleton also finished 2-3 on the evening.

L- Cristian Castillo (6-8)

BC home runs: Alex De Goti (2, 5 season; solo in 4th)
Forrest Whitley rebounded from a rare off night and the Carolina Stros busted this one open with a 4-run 5th inning.
Whitley allowed a run on 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6 in his 5 innings. Sean Stutzman finished things off by striking out 2 over 4 perfect innings.
Both teams scored a run in the 2nd inning; Buies Creek's came on an error. Randy César stole 3rd and the errant throw allowed him to trot home. Alex De Goti's solo blast in the 4th put them back in front.
Myles Straw sparked the big 5th inning with a one-out infield single. Stephen Wrenn also hit an infield single and they both advanced on the ensuing error. Yordan Alvarez walked to load 'em up for Jake Rogers, who proceeded to rip a 2-run double. Taylor Jones followed with a sac fly, and César hit an RBI single to bring in the last run of the evening. César and Wrenn had 2 hits apiece.
Elieser Hernandez will face Collin Rodgers in the series finale. First pitch is at 6:35 Eastern.
