Salt Lake Bees News Release


The Salt Lake Bees fell to the Sacramento River Cats 8-3 on Thursday night to open a six-game series in Sacramento on Thursday night.

The Bees trailed 3-0 early but put together a three-run two-out rally in the fourth to tie the game up. Preston Palmeiro started the rally with a double off the wall and then scored on a Scott Schebler single. Sacramento would break the tie in the bottom of the fourth with a single run and then put the game out of reach with a pair of runs in the seventh and eighth innings.

Salt Lake starter Cooper Criswell was solid in his first outing since making his big-league debut with the Angels last week. Criswell allowed four runs over six innings while striking out four. Felix Pena and Connor Higgins each allowed a pair of runs to score in an inning of work out of the bullpen for Salt Lake, with both Pena's runs coming as unearned thanks to a pair of errors in the inning. Palmeiro and Schebler led the Bees offense, accounting for four of the Bees seven hits.
