(Ciudad Obregón, Sonora) For the third consecutive night, Tucson falls in Cajeme and gets .500 this week, losing 4-2 in the final game of the series.
A 4-run rally to start the game in the first inning was enough for the Southern Sonora team to secure the victory. A weak outing from starter Thomas Dorminy, who could only retire one-third and allow four runs for the Yaquis, the tribe took advantage, and Roberto Valenzuela drove in three with a double, scoring Allen Córdova, Riley Unroe, and Sebastián Elizalde. Shortly after, Valenzuela scored on a single by Andrew Navigato.
Tucson managed to reach home plate until the bottom of the fifth inning when Alejandro Quezada’s double drove in Aldo Nuñez.
With the score at 4-1, Tucson managed to pull one closer in the bottom of the seventh inning, scoring Alexis Wilson on a single by Jesús Fabela to shortstop.
Thomas Dorminy suffered his second loss of the season, lasting just one-third of an inning, allowing all four runs in the game and raising his ERA to 13.50.
The win went to Cuban Odrisamer Despaigne, who remained on the mound for six and two-thirds innings with two strikeouts and two walks, also allowing both runs for Arizona. Efraín Contreras earned his first save of the season, pitching a scoreless strikeout in the ninth.
