Tulsa, L 8-11 - Adam Bright took the loss in this contest since the runner he allowed on base in the eighth scored, but that runner crossed home plate while Casey Weathers was on the mound.

Helder Velazquez hit his seventh homer.

Tri-City, L 5-6 in 10 innings - Bobby Paschal must want the last inning of this game back. David Parker walked two and recorded two outs before Paschal came in to finish the inning. Paschall attempted to throw out the runner at second, but committed a throwing error. He walked the next batter and then delivered the pitch that turned into the game-winning single. Tri-City used seven pitchers in the game.

Austin Rauch, Thomas Field, and Leonardo Reyes each had solo homers and drove in two runs as part of their two-hit nights.

Casper, W 3-2 in 10 innings - Marco Duarte struck out six over five innings while allowing one run on three hits.

Wilin Rosario, Nick Valdez, and Kane Simmons drove in the runs. Carlos Martinez, who had two hits, scored two of the runs.
