TULSA, OKLA. - The Frisco RoughRiders, the Double-A affiliate of the Texas Rangers, gave up two home runs which made the difference in Thursday night's 3-1 loss to the Tulsa Drillers in the series finale at ONEOK Field.

First baseman Cody Bellinger hit both home runs for Tulsa (23-23) against Riders (30-16) starter Sam Wolff (4-3). The first was a game-tying solo home run in the fifth, and the other was a two-run homer to give the Drillers a 3-1 lead the following inning.

Preston Beck drove in Frisco's only run with a triple to score Ronald Guzman in the third inning. Beck finished the game 4-for-4, falling just a home run short of the cycle.
