Dodgers Win Series Finale as Font Sets Record

Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Dodgers homered twice, outfielder Henry Ramos went 4-for-4 in his team debut and pitcher Wilmer Font set the Dodgers' all-time single-season strikeout record in Oklahoma City's 3-1 win against the Tacoma Rainiers Tuesday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
Font entered the game leading the Minors with a career-high 147 strikeouts. He added seven more strikeouts to his total Tuesday, becoming Oklahoma City's all-time single-season strikeout leader since the team rejoined the PCL in 1998. Font's 154 strikeouts this season have surpassed Matt Perisho, who recorded 150 strikeouts during the 1999 season.

Ramos went 4-for-4 at the plate with three singles and a home run to lead the Dodgers' offense after joining the team July 31 from Double-A Tulsa.
He helped the Dodgers (58-50) take the lead in the third inning of the series finale between the teams.
Todd Cunningham led off with a single and advanced to third base on a two-out single by Ramos to put runners at the corners for Max Muncy. After a lengthy at-bat, Muncy grounded a RBI single into right field to score Cunningham and give Oklahoma City a 1-0 lead.
The Rainiers tied the game in their next at-bat. Tacoma's Taylor Motter homered onto the Budweiser Deck in left field to lead off the fourth inning and tie the game, 1-1.
Later in the inning, Font struck out Gordon Beckham for the first out of the inning and for Font's fourth strikeout of the night to surpass Perisho and set the team season strikeout record.
The Rainiers (55-55) went on to load the bases with two outs later in the inning, but Font got Ian Miller to strike out to escape the jam.
The Dodgers answered in the bottom of the inning to regain the lead. Trayce Thompson's eighth home run of the season sailed down the left-field line in the fourth inning to put the Dodgers in front, 2-1.
Ramos led off the bottom of the fifth inning with a solo homer over the tall wall in right field to put the Dodgers ahead, 3-1.
The Rainiers brought the tying run to the plate in the top of the ninth inning. With two outs, Miller singled before reliever Madison Younginer got Zach Shank to ground out to end the game.
Font (9-5) picked up his ninth victory of the season, holding the Rainiers to one run and three hits over 6.0 innings with two walks and seven strikeouts. Justin Marks and Jacob Rhame followed with 2.2 scoreless frames before Younginer secured the game's final out for his eighth save of the season.
Tacoma starting pitcher Andrew Moore (3-2) was charged with the loss, allowing two runs and seven hits over 4.0 innings. He did not issue a walk and recorded five strikeouts.
The Dodgers outhit the Rainiers, 12-5.
With Tuesday's win, Oklahoma City split the four-game series with the Rainiers and finished its eight-game homestand, 4-4, in front of a crowd of 4,499.
