Yaisel Sierra has strong outing in Quakes win

Only two games on Monday and they were split; Rancho Cucamonga won and Oklahoma City lost.  Tulsa's game was postponed and a doubleheader is scheduled for Wednesday that will include the makeup game.

Player of the day

Right-handed starter Yaisel Sierra continues to pitch every five days for the Quakes and on Monday, he had a solid game, going six innings, allowing three runs and eight hits while striking out six.

Triple-A Oklahoma City

The Dodgers lost their second straight to the 51s (Mets) and it wasn't close, losing 12-4 on Monday night.  The 51s had 16 hits and 8 walks and took control of the game in the second inning when they scored five runs to take a 6-0 lead.

Jeremy Khert started for the Dodgers and he gave up eight runs in 4⅓ innings.  The game moved along until the ninth inning when the 51s scored three runs and then the Dodgers came up with their four runs.  As noted by Oklahoma City play-by-play broadcaster, Alex Freedman, many pitches were made in that inning.

The entire 9th inning tonight between OKC and Las Vegas had 78 pitches. 78!!
