Metairie, La. -- The Sacramento River Cats (33-31) will enjoy a day off after going 5-2 on their seven-game road trip, capped off by a 7-2 win over the New Orleans Baby Cakes (35-30) on Monday night.
Catcher Francisco Peña crushed two of the team's four home runs on the night, making him the eighth River Cats batter to record a multi-homer game this season. Outfielders Henry Ramos and Chris Shaw also cleared the fence - their ninth and second of the season, respectively.
On the mound, Andrew Suárez made it two consecutive solid outings as left-hander tossed six innings of one-run ball. After pushing his ERA to 7.59 through seven starts, his most recent 11 innings have yielded just two runs allowing him to lower that mark to 6.07.
The River Cats will welcome in the Omaha Storm Chasers for a three-game series beginning on Wednesday. Right-hander Enderson Franco (2-1, 6.32) will kick things off for Sacramento while the Kansas City Royals' affiliate have yet to name a starter. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. (PT).
