AAA: Fresno Grizzlies (65-53) won 10-8 (BOX SCORE)
Fresno got back on track last night. Rodgers was on the mound last night for Fresno and it didn’t start well as he gave up 3 runs in the 1st inning. He ended up going 6 innings allowing 5 runs, though just 3 were earned. Teoscar got the scoring started with a 2 run double in the 2nd inning. In the 3rd inning they got two runs on an RBI walk to Stassi and a Singleton sac fly. They added another two runs in the 4th with Teoscar singling, scoring on an error and Fisher adding an RBI single to make it a 4-3 game. Fresno entered the 6th inning with a 6-5 lead but added some insurance. They scored 4 times in the 6th on a Fisher RBI single and a 3 run HR from Kemmer, his 13th HR of the season. The bullpen gave up a few runs but was able to hold on 10-8. Kemmer is now hitting .341 with 8 HR, 21 RBI in 27 games since the All-Star break.
