Today's Game: The Oklahoma City Comets will look to regain the lead in their six-game interleague road series against the Charlotte Knights at 5:05 p.m. CT at Truist Park. With wins each of the last two nights, the Knights have knotted the series at 2-2...Eight games remain in the first half of the Pacific Coast League season and Oklahoma City sits in third place in the overall league standings, 2.5 games behind league-leading Sacramento.

Last Game: The Oklahoma City Comets could not contain the Charlotte Knights offense for a second straight night and fell, 12-7, Friday at Truist Field. The Comets jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first inning after a three-run blast from Jack Suwinski. Charlotte scored once in the second inning and plated four runs in the fourth inning to take a 5-3 lead. The Comets answered with three runs in the fifth inning, tying the game with a two-run shot from Taylor Young and going ahead later on a Charlotte throwing error. Four straight Knights batters walked in the bottom of the fifth inning to tie the game. The Knights belted two homers as part of a five-run seventh inning to build an 11-6 cushion. Suwinski homered for the second time to lead off the eighth inning, but the Knights matched the run with an RBI single in the bottom half.

Today's Probable Pitcher: Cole Irvin (6-5) is slated to make his team-leading 14th start in search of a third straight win...Last time out June 7 vs. Round Rock, Irvin tossed his fifth quality start with 6.0 innings, allowing five hits, two runs, two walks and three strikeouts in the win...Irvin is on the heels of a strong May in which he finished 4-1 with a 3.04 ERA in six starts...Entering today, Irvin leads the PCL's qualified pitchers in ERA (3.46) and ranks second in wins, tied for second in starts, sixth in innings pitched (65.0) and ninth in BAA (.289)...Irvin, who was signed by the Dodgers Feb. 3 as a minor league free agent, spent last season with the Doosan Bears of the Korean Baseball Organization (KBO), finishing 8-12 with a 4.48 ERA in 28 starts...Irvin has MLB experience with Philadelphia (2019-20), Oakland (2021-22), Baltimore (2023-24) and Minnesota (2024).
