Hit the Road Jack

After their third straight series split, Salt Lake is back on the road, headed to the Sooner State for six games. The Bees begin a six-game set against the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Oklahoma City Comets. This is the Bees’ first of three total trips to the Central Time Zone in 2026 and the only visit to Oklahoma.

Head to Head

This week’s series is the first of two against the Comets in 2026, with the Bees visiting the Comets May 5-10 while Oklahoma City will come to The Ballpark at America First Square Aug. 4-9. Salt Lake returns to Oklahoma City after a strong showing at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark in 2025, where the Bees took four of six while outscoring the Comets 40–25, highlighted by an 8–2 win in the opener and a 10–1 victory in game two. Despite that success, Oklahoma City claimed the overall season series 7–5, fueled by taking five of six games at The Ballpark at America First Square in late April. Since 2021, Salt Lake is 23–34 against the Comets with a 4–6–1 series record, while Oklahoma City has won three of the last four series between the clubs.

In nine games against Sacramento this season, Siri is batting 17-for-37(.459) with 13 RBI, seven extra base hits and a 1.311 OPS.

PCL Pitcher of the Week: Minor League Baseball announced on Monday that Salt Lake Bees right-hander Caden Dana has been named the Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week following a dominant performance against the Sacramento River Cats. Dana, delivered one of the most impressive outings of the season for Salt Lake on Thursday, April 30, retiring 13 consecutive batters, the longest streak by a Bees pitcher in 2026. The Warwick, N.Y. native worked five innings, allowing just one hit while striking out five. He surrendered only two baserunners, a walk and a double, in his stellar start on Thursday.
