Triple-A Oklahoma City
The Grizzlies (Astros) came back from six-run deficit to defeat the Dodgers 8-7 on a ninth inning walk-off hit. The comeback should not diminish the fine start by Jharel Cotton, who was originally scheduled to pitch on Tuesday but he was moved up when Mike Bolsinger was recalled by the Dodgers.
Cotton pitched five innings, he allowed one run on one hit, a solo home run, walked one and struck out 10. After that, the bullpen was unable to hold onto a six-run lead. Matt West gave up two runs and Casey Fien gave up four runs. Jordan Schafer made his AAA debut and pitched a scoreless eighth inning.
Jacob Rhame came into a tie game in the ninth and he had one out to get with the bases loaded. Unfortunately a walk-off single came instead and the Dodgers lost.
Corey Brown, Rob Segedin, O'Koyea Dickson and Zach Walters each had two hits.
