Adam Eaton (Arizona) had two hits to lead the Rafters. Kody Hinze (Houston) hit a two-run homer in the fourth to tie the game. Tyler Stohr (Detroit) worked a scoreless ninth despite allowing two walks to get the win.
Jarek Cunningham (Pittsburgh) hit a two-run homer in the second to give the Solar Sox a 2-0 lead. Chris Herrmann was 1-for-2 with a double and two walks. Aaron Hicks was 0-for-5. Dakota Watts gave up an unearned run on two hits in two innings. Marcus Hatley (Cubs) gave up a run on a hit and a walk in 1.1 innings to take the loss.
