The Dodgers minor league affiliated went 4-for-6 on Sunday night. The Triple-A Oklahoma City team highlighted the night with a four homer game.
Triple-A Oklahoma City
The Dodgers powered their way to an 8-2 victory over the Memphis Redbirds to avoid a sweep.
Connor Joe and Edwin Rios hit back-to-back home runs in the third inning for their 14th and 22nd dingers of the season, respectively. DJ Peters — who also has 22 home runs this season — and Jon Kemmer also got in on the home run fun with their turns each in the seventh inning.
This offense came behind Dustin May’s stellar performance on the mound. In just his fifth start in Triple-A, he pitched six innings and only allowed one earned run and three hits. He retired 13-straight batters while dealing six strikeouts. His Triple-A record is now 3-0 and his overall record is 6-5.

Overall, Tulsa was 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded a total of 10 runners on base. The only time they were able to score came when Errol Robinson hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning.

Class-A Rancho Cucamonga
The Quakes took the series against the Stockton Ports with a 5-2 win on Sunday.
Deacon Liput carried the offense with his four RBIs — the most he’s driven in all season. His 3-run home run in the third inning was enough to win the game for the Quakes, but he went on to provide the team with insurance runs.

Class-A Great Lakes

Jose Chacin earned his 10th win of the season with his 5 1⁄3 inning outing behind Jack Little. He lowered his season ERA to just under 5.00 with Sunday’s performance.
