PreStros Morning Report: June 1

Oklahoma City (31-23), 0.5 up

Crazy one in Albuquerque last night, yeah? OKC had a 3-0 and 5-1 lead, then were down 9-7 heading into the top of the 9th. Of course the RedHawks scored six runs in the top of the 9th for a 13-9 win. Then, the Isotopes scored a run and loaded the bases against Rhiner Cruz who was pulled for Jose Valdez, who got J.R. Towles (yep, you read that right) to end the game. RedHawks win 13-10.

Lots of pitchers tonight. Seven, in fact. Brett Oberholtzer had a rough one, allowing 9H/6ER in 3.2IP; Eric Berger got four clean outs; Phil Humber allowed 4H/2ER in 1IP; C.J. Fick didn't give up a run; Alex Sogard got his first win of the season despite allowing an earned run; Rhiner Cruz allowed a hit and two walks, and Valdez recorded his 12th save of the season.

Jake Elmore (2B, 3B, 2RBI), Brett Wallace (two doubles, RBI), and Carlos Perez (2B, 2RBI) had three hits each; Marc Krauss (BB), Che-Hsuan Lin (game-tying 9th inning 2-run HR, BB), and Jonathan Villar (BB, RBI) had two hits each.

Man of the Match: Che-Hsuan Lin.
