Ogden finally got on the board with an RBI single from Faustino Oguisten, who joined the Raptors on a rehab assignment from Tulsa. Ogden got three more runs in the eighth inning, thanks to three walks and a hit-by-pitch from Osprey reliever Will Lowman, but left the bases loaded when Willie Calhoun struck out. The Raptors plated two more runs in the ninth inning, but stranded two more runners when Gage Green was called out on strikes to end the ballgame, leaving the tying run - Scott De Jong - in the on-deck circle. Ogden struck out 14 times on the night and left 14 runners on base.
Dennis Santana (0-4) lost his second consecutive start and Anfernee Benitez (1-2) picked up his first win of the season.
