A team lost 5-4 on Sunday after repeatedly stranding runners in scoring position at its home stadium. The squad went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position and dropped its fourth straight series. Attendance reached 38,770.
Lineup and pitching constraints The lineup featured several players with on-base-plus-slugging percentages below .650. A key player remained out of the starting lineup for a scheduled day of rest. Pitching staff limitations forced the use of a starter in relief. That pitcher allowed a two-run homer in the seventh inning that proved decisive.
Late-game opportunities The team loaded the bases with one out in the eighth inning but recorded two outs without scoring. Earlier, a pinch-hit two-run homer briefly gave the team a one-run lead. The game ended without further scoring after the sixth-inning rally.
