Jeremy Arocho and Jordyn Adams both impressed at the plate in the loss. Arocho, who was promoted from Low-A Inland Empire earlier in the week, had three hits and scored two runs. Adams drove in two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning with a two-out single to give Tri-City back the lead. Dylan King had a strong outing in relief. King tossed three scoreless frames with seven strikeouts.
The Dust Devils will now hit the road to begin a six-game series in Hillsboro against the Vancouver Canadians beginning on Tuesday at Ron Tonkin Field. Right-hander Taylor Ahearn will toe the rubber for Tri-City in the series opener.
