PASCO, WA - Holden Wilkerson and Peyton Williams carried the Canadians to a 5-1 win over the Tri-City Dust Devils (LAA) Friday night at Gesa Stadium.
After Wilkerson (W, 5-7) retired the side in order in the first, Williams gave the C's a lead they wouldn't relinquish when he clubbed his fifth homer of the year with one out in the second to make it 1-0.
Another run scored in the fourth. Eric Snow led off with a single before Williams doubled him to third then Edward Duran cashed in with a sacrifice fly to put Vancouver in front 2-0.
That was plenty of offense for Wilkerson. The righty was perfect through four and allowed his lone baserunner - a lead-off walk - in the fifth before finishing his night with five consecutive outs. His final line: 5.2 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 7 K.
The game remained close until the ninth, when the Canadians plated three big insurance runs highlighted by a two-RBI single from Jake Casey. Jonathan Todd (S, 6) closed it out to secure a 5-1 victory.
Eight of nine starters reached base and six had a hit. Williams finished the night 4-for4 and a triple shy of the cycle while Alex Stone contributed three hits. Newcomer Ryan Sprock - acquired from Minnesota on July 10 - singled and walked in his Blue Jays organizational debut. On the mound, Carson Myers worked two scoreless innings of relief.
Vancouver goes back to work tomorrow night at 7:05 p.m. in an effort to earn a series win.
