TOP PERFORMERS
Fitzer's first career multi-HR game included Spokane's first grand slam of the season -- an opposite field shot in the second -- and a solo blast to deep center in the first. Spokane's first baseman has already set a career high with six home runs this season, tying him for the top spot in the Northwest League.
Jacob Humphrey reached base three times and added a stolen base while Jacob Hinderleider homered for the second straight game -- a two-run shot to right field in the third.
Fisher Jameson (3-1) picked up the win with four scoreless innings of relief for the Indians.
