Dust Devils rally comes too late in 7-5 loss Tuesday
The Tri-City Dust Devils put their rally caps on a little too late Tuesday in a 7-5 loss at Eugene.
Tri-City hung four runs on the board in the seventh inning, with G.K. Young’s RBI double the big poke in a six-hit frame. Unfortunately for the Dust Devils, they were still two runs short of tying it up, and that’s where they finished.
The Emeralds got a pair of two-run hits from Kevonte Mitchell and Yeiler Peguero in the sixth to go up 7-1.
That proved just enough cushion for a Eugene bullpen that nearly blew a marvelous start from Dylan Cease (2-0), who threw five innings of two-hit ball with eight strikeouts.
Tri-City starter Hansel Rodriguez (0-2) struggled through three innings, giving up five hits and three runs.
