Back-to-back home runs by Mariscal and Hoover maintained Tacoma's lead in the top of the fifth, 9-0. In the top of the eighth, Hoover throttled his second bomb of the contest, putting the Rainiers ahead for good.
Tacoma (53-66) took an early two-run lead in the top of the first with an RBI single by catcher Joe Odom that scored Daniel Castro, followed by a sacrifice fly by Kelby Tomlinson to score Eric Filia.

The Rainiers had a five-run second that began with Mariscal's first solo blast. Filia scored Hoover on a sacrifice fly and Odom launched a three-run homer to score John Andreoli and Jaycob Brugman, advancing Tacoma, 7-0. Odom went 2-for-4 with a run and four RBI on Sunday.
