(Tri-City Dust Devils)
The Tri-City Dust Devils (7-13, 25-33) could not sustain an early lead on Wednesday night as the team fell 5-2 to the Vancouver Canadians (13-7, 32-26). Otto Lopez and Tanner Kirwer hit back-to-back home runs for the Canadians in the bottom of the fifth inning, giving them a lead they would not relinquish.
Both of Tri-City's runs came in the top of the third inning. Once again it was Tucupita Marcano that delivered for the Dust Devils. Marcano singled to drive in the first run of the game and a sacrifice fly from Dwanya Williams-Sutton allowed Grant Little to score the second run of the inning. Tri-City's starting pitcher Sam Keating suffered the loss. Keating surrendered all five of Vancouver's runs in 5.2 innings of work.
Coverage of Thursday's series finale against the Canadians will be online only. The broadcast will be available starting at 12:50 pm at dustdevilsbaseball.com or via the TuneIn app. Left-hander Omar Cruz will start the rubber match.
