SIOUX CITY, IA - The Winnipeg Goldeyes (37-47) opened a six-game road trip on a winning note Friday evening, defeating the league-leading Sioux City Explorers (54-31) 8-3 at Lewis & Clark Park.
The Goldeyes struck first in the opening inning when Ramón Bramasco drove in Jacob Robson with a single up the middle. Winnipeg extended its lead in the second, sending nine batters to the plate and pushing across three more runs. Matthew Warkentin launched a one-out solo home run, and Bramasco later delivered a two-run single to make it 4-0.
Robson added to the advantage in the fourth with an opposite-field solo shot for a 5-0 lead.
Sioux City answered in the fifth with an RBI single from Joshua Day, but Winnipeg quickly responded in the sixth as Max Murphy tripled home Robson to restore a five-run cushion at 6-1. The Explorers chipped away with runs in the sixth and seventh, including a solo homer by Day, to close to within 6-3.
The Goldeyes put the game out of reach in the ninth. With the bases loaded, Miles Simington lined a two-run single to right, scoring Ray-Patrick Didder and Kevin García to make it 8-3.
Winnipeg starter Ben Kowalski (W, 2-0) earned the win, allowing just one run over five innings on four hits with a walk and a strikeout. Derrick Cherry, Henry Omaña, Trevor Brigden, and Ben Onyshko each pitched an inning out of the bullpen for the Goldeyes.
Peniel Otaño (L, 1-7) started and took the loss, giving up six runs on 11 hits in six innings.
The series continues Saturday at 6:05 p.m. as Winnipeg sends southpaw Mitchell Lambson (8-4, 4.43 ERA) to the mound against Sioux City right-hander Angel Macuare (2-1, 2.53 ERA).
