Today's Game: The Oklahoma City Dodgers open a four-game series against the Omaha Storm Chasers at 7:05 p.m. at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. This marks Omaha's first trip to Oklahoma City this season. The Dodgers have lost three of the last four games.

Last Game: The Dodgers carried a one-run lead into the eighth inning before Nashville scored four runs over the final two innings for a 7-4 come-from-behind win Sunday night at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. All four of Oklahoma City's runs scored in the third inning as the Sounds held OKC to three hits in the game. Nashville quickly took the lead in the first inning when Ryon Healy belted a three-run home run to left-center field. The Dodgers scored four runs with two outs in the third inning to take the lead. With bases loaded and Rob Segedin at the plate, a wild pitch by Chris Smith allowed James Ramsey to score. Segedin then smashed a three-run homer over the LED board in left field to put the Dodgers in front, 4-3. The Sounds were held scoreless with three hits between the second and seventh innings, but they loaded the bases with one out in the top of the eighth. Healy then hit a sacrifice fly to right field to knot the score, 4-4. In the ninth, Jaycob Brugman capped his monster series with a go-ahead RBI single to left field. Ramsey was unable to field the ball cleanly, allowing another run to score and Brugman advance to third base. Arismendy Alcantara followed with a sac fly to put Nashville in front, 7-4. Carlos Frias piggybacked starter Jose De Leon and was charged with the loss. Frias (1-3) allowed four runs (three earned) and seven hits over 5.1 innings. Tucker Healy (2-0) earned the win, and Andrew Triggs picked up his second save of the season.

Today's Probable Pitcher: Brock Stewart is set to make his Triple-A debut...Stewart has made 11 starts this season between High-A Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa, going 5-3 with a 1.07 ERA. He currently ranks third overall in the Minors in ERA and is also second in WHIP (0.80) and fifth in opponent average (.179)...At the time of his promotion to OKC, Stewart was leading the Double-A Texas League in ERA (1.12), WHIP (0.83), and strikeouts per nine innings among starting pitchers (9.91). He also ranked second in the TL in both strikeouts (72) and opponent average (.188). He allowed one or no earned runs in eight of his nine outings with the Drillers...Stewart most recently pitched a seven-inning complete game for Tulsa on June 7 during a doubleheader against Northwest Arkansas. He allowed just one run and struck out three, leading Tulsa to a 3-1 win and pitching his first career complete game...Stewart started the season with High-A Rancho Cucamonga, making two starts and allowing one earned run over 11.0 IP with 10 strikeouts and one walk. As a result, he was named California League Pitcher of the Week for April 7-17...Stewart was drafted in the sixth round of the 2014 draft by the Dodgers from Illinois State University, where he primarily played as a third baseman.

Against the Storm Chasers: 2016: 1-1 2015: 6-10 All-time: 132-126 In OKC: 66-61

Rain washed away the final two of a four-game series in Omaha, April 28-May 1. Before the inclement weather struck, the Dodgers and Storm Chasers won one game each...Omaha has won 10 of the last 12 meetings between the teams due to an offensive onslaught (see more below)...Oklahoma City won five of the first six games against the Storm Chasers last season before Omaha claimed victories in nine of the final 10 meetings against the Dodgers. The Dodgers had all sorts of trouble slowing down the Omaha bats last season, as the Storm Chasers scored 85 runs (5.3 per game) and batted .331 as a team...Over the last 12 meetings, the Storm Chasers have batted .377 (161x427), including .380 (57x150) with runners in scoring position. The Storm Chasers have totaled 87 runs (7.25 per game) and have scored 10 runs four times. Also, Omaha has had eight separate innings with at least four runs...Omaha is 4-0-1 in season series with OKC over the past five years.

Late Night Dramas: Yesterday marked OKC's sixth loss this season when leading after six innings, already matching their season total from 2015. It was also the team's third loss when leading after seven innings. In 2015, the team's third loss when leading after seven innings occurred in Game #88 on July 12...OKC is now 1-6 when tied after eight innings this season.

In Need of Home Improvement: The Dodgers are 2-7 over their last nine home games and 5-10 over the last 15 games in Bricktown. Overall, the Dodgers are 11-16 in OKC this season, which is the worst home record in the PCL. The team has finished with a losing home record just twice in 18 seasons at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark (2003, 2007)...Over the last nine home games, the Dodgers have allowed 56 runs and have posted a 5.84 ERA (50 ER/77.0 IP). Opponents are batting .308 (93x302) with seven homers and are hitting .351 (34x97) with runners in scoring position. The Dodgers have allowed at least five runs in six of the nine games and at least 10 hits in five games...Going back to May 15, the Dodgers have allowed a total of 94 runs over the last 15 home games (6.27 per game), and at least five runs 10 times...With yesterday's rubber match loss to Nashville, the Dodgers are 1-4-2 in home series so far this season, having only won a four-game set against the Salt Lake Bees, May 19-22 (3-1).

Fear the Apostrophe: O'Koyea Dickson went 1-for-4 with a double Sunday. He has now reached base in 11 straight games overall as well as in 13 consecutive starts...Since May 23, Dickson is batting .398 (19x49) with three homers and 11 RBI over 19 games...In June, he's been even hotter at the plate, batting .407 (11-for-27) with six extra-base hits and seven RBI in 10 games to start the month.

Steady Segie: Yesterday Rob Segedin hit his team-leading ninth home run and ninth multi-RBI game of the season. He leads the Dodgers in just about every offensive category, including batting average (.303), hits (63), extra-base hits (27), RBI (35), and runs scored (37).

Zach Attack: Zach Walters has gone deep three times in his last six games and has collected six multi-hit games over his last 10 contests, batting .410 (16x39) with seven extra-base hits and 10 RBI.

Personnel Files: Outfielder Daniel Fields will join the squad today. Fields was recently signed as a free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers and just completed a five-game tune-up with Low-A Great Lakes. He has mostly spent this season with Triple-A Charlotte (White Sox), batting .216 with one home run and 15 RBI over 32 games...In a corresponding move, outfielder Rico Noel was placed on the DL.

Managerial Matters: Manager Bill Haselman will be away from the team until Tuesday due to a family obligation. Coach Luis Matos is serving as acting manager. Last season Matos managed Low-A Great Lakes to a 68-69 record and a berth in the Midwest League playoffs.
