Salt Lake fell behind 2-0 in the first on a pair of unearned runs with Tacoma tacking on two more in the third inning. The Bees got leadoff doubles in the first by David Fletcher and Jabari Blash, but neither was moved around to score. Salt Lake did avoid being shutout for the first time this season with a run in the ninth. Kaleb Cowart singled with one out, advanced to second on defensive indifference and scored on a two out, two strike double to left by Nolan Fontana. The Bees have not been blanked since June 17, 2017 in Tacoma.
