-Trey Sweeney set a season high with three hits, including two doubles. He reached base four times and extended his on-base streak to a league-best 21 games.
-After starting the game 0-for-3, Jonathan Araúz hit a triple and a double during the eighth-inning rally. He extended his hitting streak to 12 games, and he is 15-for-49 (.306) during the stretch with six doubles, one triple and a home run. His hitting streak is the longest in the PCL to start the season.
-Miguel Vargas set a season high with three hits, including his fourth home run of the season. The solo blast traveled an estimated 444 feet – the longest homer hit by an OKC player this season.
-Albuquerque finished with 21 hits – the most allowed by OKC since July 8, 2018 against Round Rock. Albuquerque tallied seven hits in the second inning, which is the most hits in an inning by an opponent this season.
