Shirley got the start for Fresno last night and got roughed up early giving up 6 runs in 4.1 innings. The Fresno offense was silent outside of one inning. In the bottom of the 6th, White hit a grand slam, his 3rd consecutive game with a HR. Teoscar also finished with 2 hits to include a double but Fresno was unable to get anything else going.

AA: Corpus Christi Hooks (55-30) lost 14-5 (BOX SCORE)

Rough game as Springfield hit 7 homeruns last night. Grills got the start for the Hooks and gave up 11 runs over his 5 innings of work. Corpus got on the board in the 3rd inning on a grand slam from Fisher, his 14th HR of the season. In the 5th inning Stubbs hit a solo HR, his first HR in AA and his 7th HR overall. Unfortunately that is all the Hooks would get as they take the loss 14-5.
