Jose De Leon had his second straight seven inning start with ten strikeouts, and he improved upon it by allowing only a seventh inning single and no run. Here's a video of one his strikeouts.
The Dodgers got on the board in the first when Yasiel Puig and Chris Taylor scored on a ground out and a walk, respectively. Leading 4-0 in the fifth, Yasiel Puig led off the inning with his fourth home run for the OKC Dodgers. Alex Hassan would later double in Will Venable to make it 6-0.

Transactions
Triple-A: Right-handed pitcher Alfredo Figaro assigned to Oklahoma City from Tulsa. Oklahoma City placed right-handed pitcher Ross Stripling on the reserve list. According to MILB.com, the reserve list is what teams use when they have more players on their roster that can be active for a game, so once that limit is set, the other players are technically on the reserve list.
Double-A: Right-handed pitcher Jeremy Kehrt assigned to Tulsa from Oklahoma City.
Rookie: Los Angeles sent right-handed pitcher Louis Coleman on a rehab assignment to AZL Dodgers.
