BIG MOMENTS

Cameron Cannon's two-out, two-run homer in the seventh broke a 1-1 deadlock, giving the Spinners a 3-1 advantage. The at-bat prior to the homer, Brooklyn catcher Jake Ortega nearly nabbed baserunner Jonathan Diaz at second base to end the inning, but a stolen base was determined.

Brooklyn starter Matt Cleveland tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings in a no-decision, striking out eight. Lowell's Jenrry Mejia, a rehabber from Triple-A Pawtucket, earned the save with a scoreless ninth. Mejia, once permanently suspended from baseball, pitched with the Brooklyn Cyclones during his Mets tenure in 2008.
