Postgame Notes
Top prospect: Right-hander Tyler Beede set season-highs in innings pitched (seven), pitches thrown (98) and batters faced (28) tonight…his lone run surrendered came by way of a home run, his third allowed this season…of his eight starts this season, he has allowed one run or fewer in five of them.
Defense: Oklahoma City and Sacramento entered tonight's game ranked first and third respectively in fielding percentage…the Dodgers committed their 21st error in 39 games and the River Cats committed one of their 27th…reliever
Hitting the showers early: River Cats Hitting Coach Damon Minor was ejected in the eighth inning by home plate umpire Nestor Ceja…third ejection this road trip…manager Dave Brundage and Ryder Jones were ejected on 5/12 at Colorado Springs.
Ryder's back: Left fielder Ryder Jones made his first start since May 12 when he was ejected and hit his first home run since May 7…tonight marked his first multi-RBI game of the season.
