Salt Lake Falls in Friday Night Affair Against Tacoma
The Salt Lake Bees had their two-game winning streak against the Tacoma Rainiers snapped on Friday evening, falling flat in what ended up going in the books as a 10-2 loss. After scoring 24 combined runs over their previous three games against the Rainiers coming into Friday’s game, the Bees struggled to get the bats heated back up against Tacoma starter Michael Mariot, who put together what was arguably his best start of the year to date. The righty finished a season-high seven innings in his outing, allowing just two earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five Salt Lake hitters. The only real trouble for Mariot all night came in the fifth inning, when the Bees notched their only two runs of the day on an RBI triple by Bryce Teodosio – his Triple-A leading ninth of the season – and a sacrifice fly by D’Shawn Knowles. On the whole night, the Bees only recorded four hits in total, two of which came off the bat of Jack López.
