Milam really settled into the lineup his second time through, retiring five in a row at one point.

Hayden Jones' single gave the Monarchs life, recording his 12th RBI of the season. The catcher finished two-for-four in the loss.

Kansas City struggled with runners in scoring position. The Monarchs out-hit the Dogs, 11-9, but left 13 runners on base.
