Dust Devils mash three homers, top Everett on the road
Chris Mattison went 2-for-2 and hit one of the Tri-City Dust Devils’ three home runs Tuesday night as the team jumped out to an early lead then tacked insurance on late to top the host Everett AquaSox 8-4.
Touted Padres prospect Adrian Morejon (1-1) made his longest career start for Tri-City, scattering seven hits and a walk while allowing two runs over six innings to pick up the win.
The Dust Devils (12-8) and AquaSox (8-12) wrapped up their brief two-game series Wednesday. Tri-City heads south to Eugene for five games against the Emeralds, beginning at 7:05 p.m. Thursday.
After Luis Asuncion hit an RBI double to open the scoring for the Dust Devils in the top of the first, Mattison added on with a two-out, three-run blast to make it 4-0.
Luis Almanzar hit his first career homer in the fourth, a solo shot, and Aldemar Burgos hit his third of the season with a two-run blast in the eighth. Burgos went 3-for-4 and also hit a double.
Jose Galindo pitched two no-hit innings to close the game out for Tri-City, allowing two walks but striking out four. The 6-foot-4, 22-year-old right-hander hasn’t given up a run in 9 2/3 innings pitched for the Dust Devils this season.
