WINNIPEG, MB - The Sioux City Explorers (62-36) evened their four-game series with the Winnipeg Goldeyes (41-56) Saturday evening, earning a 7-3 victory at Blue Cross Park.
The visitors struck early when Henry George hit a solo home run two batters into the ballgame to give Sioux City a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish. A Nathan Rose sacrifice fly in the fourth doubled the advantage, and Michael Quiñones grounded into a double play in the fifth to bring home George for a 3-0 cushion.
The Goldeyes battled back in the bottom of the fifth. With Roby Enríquez on base, Ray-Patrick Didder launched his 10th home run of the season over the left-centre wall to trim the deficit to 3-2.
Sioux City quickly responded in the sixth, adding two runs on a bases-loaded walk to D'Shawn Knowles and an RBI single from Josh Day. Day later drove in another with a double in the eighth before Zac Vooletich singled him home to extend the Explorers' lead to 7-2.
Winnipeg pushed across one more run in the eighth when Ramón Bramasco doubled down the right field line to score Jacob Robson, but that was as close as the Goldeyes would get.
Goldeyes starter Luke Boyd (L, 5-10) allowed five earned runs over five innings. Reliever Levi Abbott recorded his first professional strikeout in 1.1 innings of work, while Tasker Strobel and Jesse Galindo finished the game out of the bullpen.
Sioux City starter J.D. Scholten (W, 1-1) worked six innings of two-run ball, and Jaren Jackson (S, 1) pitched the final four innings. for his first save of the year.
