West Sacramento, Calif. - Highlighted by designated hitter Alex Dickerson's 428-foot home run, the Sacramento River Cats (52-65) downed the Las Vegas Aviators (62-58) in an error-filled, series-clinching win.

Dickerson, who was playing in his ninth rehab game since returning from injury, had his second straight multi-hit day, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs, two RBIs, and his first home run this rehab stint.

Second baseman Jason Krizan also had a solid day at the plate, going 1-for-3 with two walks, an RBI, and three runs scored. The RBI was Krizan's 70th of the year, which leads the team.

Right-handed reliever Tyler Cyr kicked off the bullpen day with two strikeouts in 2.0 perfect innings. Lefty Caleb Baragar (3-2) struck out another four in 2.0 innings with one unearned run in the winning effort.

Following the off day, the River Cats start their "final stretch" five-game series in Salt Lake on Thursday, before heading back to Sacramento where they host Albuquerque for the last five games of 2021.
