Salt Lake Bees News Release


An eighth inning balk brought home the only run of the game, as the Fresno Grizzlies shut out the Salt Lake Bees 1-0 on Sunday afternoon. Nolan Fontana led off the inning with a single off Salt Lake reliever Jose Valdez and moved to second on a single by Jack Mayfield. After Fontana moved to third on a wild pitch, Valdez (0-1) had appeared to strike out Tyler Heineman, but was called for a balk for not coming to a stop from the stretch, which brought home Fontana.

Two-time Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum had his best outing with the Bees, as he went seven innings and allowed just one hit with eight strikeouts and one walk. He threw 89 pitches, 57 of them strikes. Meanwhile, Fresno starter Brady Rodgers tossed eight scoreless innings and gave up just two hits, both were singles in the third and sixth innings by Juan Graterol. Salt Lake takes three out of four in the series and goes 5-7 on what was the longest road trip of the season.
