Tacoma Rainiers News Release
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah. - The Salt Lake Bees earned a series win with a 4-2 victory over the Tacoma Rainiers on Thursday night at Smith's Ballpark.
Starting pitcher Forrest Snow worked 5.0 innings for Tacoma and allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits with two walks and four strikeouts - he was saddled with the loss, his ninth of the year.

Down 4-0 going into the eighth, Steve Baron led off the inning for Tacoma with a double, his third hit of the night. Chris Taylor followed with a single to move Baron to third and promptly stole second to put a pair of runners in scoring position. James Jones brought Baron home with a sacrifice fly and Jesus Montero swatted an RBI single to score Taylor and cut Salt Lake's lead to 4-2.
