The Tri-City Dust Devils (3-8) dropped their seventh straight game as the team lost 6-2 to the Everett AquaSox on Saturday night at Funko Field. Harrison Wenson hit a solo home run in his first game back with Tri-City after rejoining the team from Triple-A Salt Lake.

Julio Rodriguez remained a thorn in the side of the Dust Devils. The highly touted prospect hit his fourth home in five games against Tri-City to break a scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth inning. Francisco Del Valle continued to produce at the plate in the loss. Del Valle had two doubles and drove in one of the team’s two runs.

The Dust Devils will look to avoid the sweep in the series finale on Sunday afternoon. Right-hander Aaron Hernandez will toe the rubber for Tri-City, while right-hander Juan Then will counter with Juan Then. First pitch is set for 4:05 PM.
