The Bees' six game winning streak came to an end on Wednesday night, as the Tacoma Rainiers edged Salt Lake 3-2. The Bees took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Kyle Kubitza's fifth home run of the season, but Tacoma rallied in the fifth. Leon Landry and Jesus Montero opened the inning with back to back singles. Landry advanced to third base when Justin Ruggiano grounded into a double play. Salt Lake starter Drew Rucinski walked Jabari Blash and Patrick Kivlehan followed by launching a first pitch fastball over the left field wall to give the Rainiers a 3-1 lead.

The Bees would pick up one run in the seventh and had runners at first and third with two out in the ninth, but Josh Rutledge grounded into a force out to end the game. Rucinski (5-5) had his personal five game win streak end, as he went five innings and allowed three runs on nine hits with three walks and five strikeouts.
