Emilio King's two-run double was the big hit in a four-run second inning as the Lexington Legends captured their third straight victory over the Asheville Tourists.

The Legends added three runs in the sixth inning, two coming on a single by Delino DeShields, Jr., who had three RBIs in the game.

Mike Foltynewicz (2-6) pitched seven strong innings to earn his second straight victory.

Bryce Massanari's solo homer in the fourth inning accounted for the only Asheville run. Murilo Gouvea pitched two scoreless innings in relief for the Legends.
