All three base knocks were singles, and two of them came from Alex Verdugo who increased his season average to .328. Starter Kevin Guzman took the loss despite allowing just 2 runs over 5 frames. Reliever Bubby Rossman struck out 3 over 2 scoreless frames to provide the highlight out of the bullpen.
DSL – The Dominican Dodgers walked off against the Royals on Monday with a 4 to 3 win in 12 innings. Shortstop Moises Perez was a bit of a one man show in this one as he doubled in the tying run in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and the game on the line, then singled to lead off the bottom of the 12th. After Perez was sacrificed over to 2nd, he took it upon himself to steal 3rd base which forced a throwing error by the catcher and allowed Moises to race home for the winning run. Shakir Albert had the only other multi-hit game, while Johan Mieses' 8th triple of the season actually turned into an inside the park homer when he scored on a throwing error. On the mound starter Gregor Mora threw well as he allowed just 1 run in 4 innings. Edward Perez picked up the win in relief after he gave up just 1 hit over 3 frames.
