Jeremy Arocho and Kenedy Corona both reached base four times, with Arocho notching a trio of RBI singles. Corona doubled twice, scored two runs and drove in another as part of his 3-for-4 day, which he capped off with a walk in the eighth inning.

Jose Fleury was one out short of qualifying for the win, with three hits and two walks over 4 2/3 scoreless innings. Fleury struck out four.

Cole McDonald struck out the only man he faced, with Joey Mancini earning the four-inning save. Corpus Christi’s pitching staff was left with 11 that night.
