July 28, 2019 - Pacific Coast League (PCL1)
Oklahoma City Comets News Release


Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Dodgers scored all of their runs via four home runs Sunday night and pitcher Dustin May allowed just one run over 6.0 innings in the Dodgers' 8-2 win against the Memphis Redbirds at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Connor Joe, Edwin RÃ-os, DJ Peters and Jon Kemmer all homered for the Dodgers as Oklahoma City avoided a series sweep with the win in the finale against the Redbirds.

In his fifth Triple-A start, but his home debut at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark, starting pitcher May (3-0) held the Redbirds to one run and three hits over 6.0 innings. He issued two walks and recorded six strikeouts in the win.

Joe hit a two-run home run out to left field in the third inning on a fly ball that landed in the lower corner of the Budwesier Deck to give Oklahoma City the game's first lead. The homer was Joe's 14th of the season.

RÃ-os followed with a solo home run out to right field that landed past the Memphis bullpen in right field to give the Dodgers a 3-0 advantage. The home run was RÃ-os' team-leading 22nd of the season with the Dodgers.

The back-to-back homers were the ninth of the season hit by the Dodgers (49-57) and marked the team's fifth back-to-back shots in the month of July.

May allowed back-to-back singles to open the game before retiring 16 of the next 17 Memphis batters he faced, including 13 straight at one point.

The Redbirds got on the scoreboard in the sixth inning on a RBI double by Edmundo Sosa to cut OKC's lead to 3-1.

The Dodgers scored five runs in the seventh inning to take a commanding lead.

Peters crushed a three-run homer out to center field in the seventh inning to extend the Dodgers' lead to 6-1 with his 11th homer with Oklahoma City. A two-run homer by Jon Kemmer later in the inning pushed OKC's lead to 8-1. The homer was Kemmer's fifth with the Dodgers.

A RBI single by Memphis' Ramon Urias in the eighth inning cut OKC's lead to 8-2 in the final meeting of the season between the teams.

Memphis starting pitcher Mike Hauschild (1-3) was charged with the loss, allowing three runs and seven hits over 6.0 innings with six walks and four strikeouts as the Redbirds' record fell to 45-62 on the season.

The Dodgers won the season series between the teams, 9-7.
