A late lead was not enough for the Tri-City Dust Devils (13-24) on Wednesday night at Gesa Stadium as the team fell 4-2 to the Spokane Indians. The Dust Devils entered the top of the ninth inning with a one-run edge, but Spokane rallied to take back the lead after scoring three runs.

Free passes ended up hurting Tri-City's pitching staff throughout the evening. While the Dust Devils only allowed four hits, the team issued seven walks and hit four batters. Tri-City took a 2-1 advantage in the bottom of the seventh inning after a two-out rally was capped off by a clutch double from Carlos Herrera, which brought home the team's only two runs of the game.

Reigning High-A West Pitcher of the Week Davis Daniel will toe the rubber for Tri-City in the third matchup of the six-game road series on Thursday. Spokane will counter with right-hander Trent Fennell.

It will be the first Viñeros de Tri-City night of the season for the team on Thursday night at Gesa Stadium.
