Oklahoma City - The Oklahoma City Dodgers scored a combined four runs over the sixth and seventh innings on the way to a 5-2 win against the Reno Aces Saturday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.
The Dodgers (77-50) won a second straight game to close out an eight-game homestand and win their four-game series against the Aces, 3-1.
Oklahoma City has now held opponents to two or fewer runs in nine of the last 13 games.
One of the Aces' runs came in the first inning on a RBI single by Jamie Romak to give Reno a 1-0 lead.
The Dodgers tied up the game, 1-1, in the bottom of the third inning on a RBI single by Darwin Barney.
Barney drew a walk to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning. He stole second base and advanced to third on a groundout by Corey Seager. Andy Wilkins came up to bat next and hit a fly ball that was dropped by Reno left fielder Peter O'Brien, allowing Barney to score for a 2-1 Dodgers lead. A RBI groundout by Scott Schebler extended the Dodgers to a 3-1 lead.
A two-run home run to left field by Jose Tabata - his second with the Dodgers - boosted Oklahoma City to a 5-1 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Reno's Romak homered in the top of the eighth inning to cut the Dodgers' lead to 5-2.
