Garlick continues hot hitting but OKC takes loss

A split for the Dodger affiliates on Monday. Oklahoma City and Tulsa lose their games. However, Rancho Cucamonga and Great Lakes continue to win and maintain their leads in their respective leagues.

Triple-A Oklahoma City

The Express broke a 2-2 tie in the bottom of seventh and they went on to beat the Dodgers 5-2. Kevin Quackenbush gave up a solo home run to Garrett Stubbs and then Derek Fisher doubled home run to give the Express a two-run lead.

In the eighth inning, Nick Tanielu homered off Stetson Allie to add one more run for the Express.

The Dodgers offense mainly consisted of back-to-back home runs from Will Smith and Kyle Garlick. Garlick has had hot start in May. The 27-year old outfielder/designated hitter is hitting .326/.380/.848 in 49 plate appearances.

Caleb Ferguson made a rehab appearance and pitched one scoreless inning with one strikeout. He also gave up one hit and one walk.

Double-A Tulsa

The Naturals (Royals) scored seven runs in the bottom of the third to take a four-run lead over the Drillers and would go on to win 8-4. J.D. Martin gave up those seven runs and he took the loss for the Drillers.

Jared Walker and Steve Berman each had two hits. Gavin Lux went 1-for-3 with two RBI.

Keibert Ruiz went 0-for-4 and he is hitting .229/.281/.286 in 112 plate appearances this season. He has struck out six times and has seven walks.

Class-A Rancho Cucamonga

The Quakes started their four-game series at Lancaster with a 7-3 win over JetHawks (Rockies). Winning pitcher Gerardo Carrillo pitched six innings and gave up three runs. He had seven strikeouts and one walk.

Nick Yarnall went 2-for-3 with a home run and a triple. Yarnall drove in three runs. Jeter Downs also had two hits.

Class-A Great Lakes

The Loons had not played since Wednesday but the time off did not slow them down as they beat the Dragons (Reds) 3-2 on Monday.

2017 12th round draft pick Andre Jackson made the start and he pitched 4⅔ scoreless innings just falling short of qualifying for the win. He gave up two hits and two walks. He matched his career high 10 strikeouts.
