Way and Johnson each had two hits to lead the Bees offense with Way's double accounting for the only extra base hit of the night for the Bees.

Smith's Ballpark hosted 70,404 fans over the seven game homestand with five nights exceeding 10,000 fans. The Bees depart on an 11-game, 12-day road trip to Reno, Las Vegas and Fresno before returning home to Salt Lake on Tuesday, Aug. 28 for a seven-game homestand to finish the 2018 regular season.
