The Naturals took nearly nine innings to find a run. Corey Toups opened the final frame with a sharp single to left-field and scored two batters later. Mauricio Ramos unloaded on a Caleb Dirks delivery and belted a double into the right-field gap to plate Toups, cutting the deficit to 3-1. That is all the closer the Naturals got on Friday night in the loss.

Goudeau (1-3) worked 6.2 innings, allowed three runs on five hits to the Drillers and struck out five. Tulsa hit two solo home runs off the Naturals' right-hander in the first and third innings and plated the club's third run in the fifth.

Left-hander, Tim Hill, worked a scoreless 1.1 innings in relief of Goudeau and has now not allowed a run over his last six outings, spanning across 8.0 innings of work.

Ramos led the offense with his second consecutive two-hit game and drove in his 25th run of the season with the double in the ninth. Toups extended his on-base streak with his single in the final inning to 14 consecutive games. Ryan O'Hearn doubled for the second consecutive game and his 11th on the year.
