Oklahoma City scored all of their runs with two out extra base hits, as the Dodgers downed the Salt Lake Bees 6-3 on Sunday night. OKC took a 2-0 lead in the first on a two out, two run double by Los Angeles' Yoshi Tsutsugo, who is on an injury rehab assignment. The Dodgers led 3-0 when the Bees picked up a two out RBI of their own on a two run homer by Jake Gatewood. That would be as close as Salt Lake would get, as Oklahoma CIty would add two runs in the fourth and one more in the eighth. The Bees would score one more run in the sixth on an RBI single by Kean Wong.
Salt Lake starter Thomas Pannone (2-5) took the loss, as he went four innings and allowed five runs on five hits with three walks and three strikeouts. Bees relievers Tyler Danish, James Hoyt and Felix Pena combined to allow only one run on three hits over the final four innings. The Bees managed just six hits with one hit coming from six different players. Gatewood's home run in the third inning was his 14th of the season, which is second on the club behind league leader Jo Adell with 17.
