Triple-A Oklahoma City

The Oklahoma City Dodgers scored four times in the seventh to come away with a come from behind 6-4 win over the 51's (Mets). A pinch hit double by Brian Burgamy tied the game in the seventh, then a passed ball and a sacrifice fly allowed the final two runs to score. Scott Schbeler had the best game at the dish as he went 3-for-4 and finished a homer shy of the cycle.

On the mound starter P.J. Walters gave up four runs over six innings of work, but he picked up the win after leaving the game. The Dodger bullpen was outstanding in this one as Chin-hui Tsao struck out two in a scoreless eighth while David Aardsma picked up his 13th save with a perfect 9th.

Double-A Tulsa

Brandon Dixon hit a big three-run homer and Chris Anderson was masterful on the mound as the Drillers downed the Naturals (Royals) 7 to 2. Dixon's big hit was hit 4th long ball of the season, and while most of his 2015 stats appear to be pretty impressive as he has 10 SB's and a .280 average, his OPS is just .720 and he has 50 K's vs. just three walks for the season. Yadir Drake went 3-for-5 and scored two runs while Adam Law was 2-for-3 with a double and also crossed the plate twice.
