Game Notes
Salt Lake secured its second straight win with double-digit hits in back-to-back games while homering in four consecutive contests. The Bees improved to 31-14 this season when outhitting their opponent.
The Bees swiped three bases on Tuesday with steals from Chad Stevens (19), Nelson Rada (14) and Denzer Guzman (3). Salt Lake has now stolen a base in four straight games, including three of the last four with multiple stolen bags. The Bees rank fourth in the PCL with 36 steals in August.
Sammy Peralta worked a professional career-high six innings, earning his fifth win of the season to match his career-best total from 2023. He allowed five runs on seven hits with two strikeouts, marking his first walk-free outing since July 24.
Chad Stevens notched his second straight multi-hit effort, hitting safely for the sixth time in his last seven games with a 2-for-4 night that included an RBI and a run scored for the third consecutive contest. It marked his team-leading 33rd multi-hit game of the season, as he remains one of only five players in the PCL with at least 110 hits, 17 home runs, and a batting average of .290 or better.
Denzer Guzman went 2-for-4 for his sixth multi-hit performance since joining Salt Lake while scoring for the third time in the last four games.
Tucker Flint recorded his first multi-hit game since July 30, going 2-for-4 with two RBI--the last time he drove in multiple runs also came on July 30. He belted his 14th home run of the season and first in August, moving within three of his career-high 17 set in 2024.
Carter Kieboom went 1-for-2 to extend his hitting streak to 11 games, the fourth-longest active streak in the league. Over the stretch, he's batting .425 with four doubles, a triple, eight RBI, six runs scored, and a 1.095 OPS.
Chad Wallach went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, recording his first triple of the season and first since June 25 at Albuquerque. His two RBI marked his first multi-RBI game since his eight-RBI outburst in Reno on June 24.
