Dodgers' Offense Continues to Roll with 10-6 Win

Oklahoma City - Connor Joe, DJ Peters and Zach Reks each collected three hits and Joe racked up a career-high five RBI as the Oklahoma City Dodgers defeated the Reno Aces, 10-6, Tuesday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
The game was tied, 6-6, until the Dodgers scored three runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to take the lead for good and earn a split in the four-game series against the Aces.

The Dodgers (57-63) scored 10 or more runs in each of the final two games against Reno, tallying 22 runs and 27 hits over the two games combined.
The Aces (57-64) took the game's first lead Tuesday, however, when Kevin Cron belted a two-run home run out to left field in the first inning for a 2-0 Reno lead.
Oklahoma City answered and took a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the first inning, opening the frame with six straight hits.
Gavin Lux hit a ground-rule double and Austin Barnes followed with a single before Jedd Gyorko lined a RBI single into center as he continued his Major League rehab assignment. Peters followed with a RBI single out to center field to tie the game, 2-2. 
A single by Zach Reks followed to load the bases for Connor Joe, who then lined a two-run single into left field for a 4-2 advantage in the first inning.
Reno's Ben DeLuzio hit a solo homer out to left field in the second inning to cut OKC's lead to one run.
In the third inning, a RBI triple by Reks into the right-field corner extended OKC's lead before Joe followed with a RBI single for a 6-3 Dodgers advantage.
Cron homered again in the top of the fifth inning, connecting on a two-run shot to cut OKC's lead to 6-5. Cron then knotted the game, 6-6, when he hit his third home run of the night out to left-center field in the seventh inning.
Cron now has a PCL-leading 36 homers this season and has hit 58 homers with the Aces during his career. He became Reno's all-time home run leader with his first homer of the night Tuesday, passing Mike Jacobs and Brandon Allen.
The Dodgers went on to break the tie with four unanswered runs.
Peters' RBI single in the seventh inning scored Barnes to put the Dodgers ahead, 7-6. Oklahoma City loaded the bases with one out for Joe, who hit a deep single into left-center field that hit the wall, just missing a grand slam, but scored home two more runs for a 9-6 Dodgers lead.
Barnes grounded into a fielder's choice in the eighth inning to score Oklahoma City's 10th run of the night.
Dodgers pitcher Josh Sborz (4-3) picked up the win, allowing one run and one hit over 2.0 innings. He did not issue a walk and recorded four strikeouts, but was also charged with a blown save.
Reno pitcher Marc Rzepczynski (2-3) was charged with the loss, allowing three runs and three hits over one-third of the seventh inning, allowing one walk and one strikeout.
Gavin Lux and Gyorko also finished with multi-hit nights for Oklahoma City as the Dodgers outhit Reno, 16-5.
OKC finished the homestand, 5-2, and improved to 13-5 over the last 18 home games at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
