The home team trailed 6-0 after three innings and never recovered in an 11-4 loss on a sweltering Saturday afternoon. The visitors opened with a walk, double and home run, then added back-to-back home runs in the second. A call-up starter allowed five runs and three home runs over 3 2/3 innings.
Late rally falls short The home side cut the deficit to 7-4 in the fifth on a two-run homer and an RBI double. With the bases loaded in the sixth, two pinch hitters failed to drive in runs. A reliever entered in the eighth trailing by three runs. An error opened the inning, and the visitors scored four times on a sacrifice fly, single and home run.
The home offense finished 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position. The team has lost eight of its last nine games and has not scored more than five runs in any contest since June 17.
