Owlz rally in the ninth inning to beat Ogden Raptors

By Daily Herald - | Jun 20, 2018

Trailing 2-0 in the top of the ninth inning on Wednesday night, the Orem Owlz needed to generate some offense.

In the final frame, Kevin Maitan led off with a single to leftfield. The following batter, Orlando Martinez hit a home run to rightfield to tie the game. A walk, a hit batter, and a fielding error, allowed the game-winning run to score as the Owlz defeated the Ogden Raptors, 3-2, on Wednesday night.

It was the Owlz’ second win of the year. The two teams now travel south to Orem for the Owlz’ home opener Thursday night at 7:05 p.m.

MLB roundup

Cubs 4, Dodgers 0: At Chicago, Jon Lester won his fifth straight start, Javier Baez backed him with three hits and two runs, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-0 on Wednesday.

Lester (9-2) gave up five hits over seven innings. Baez had two doubles, a triple and a steal. He also made some solid plays at shortstop and second base.

Kyle Schwarber hit his 14th homer, and Kris Bryant added two hits and an RBI. And the Cubs handed Ross Stripling his first loss since April 30, taking two of three in a rematch of the past two NL Championship Series.

Lester walked three and struck out one batter. Anthony Bass worked the final two innings to finish the six-hitter.

Yankees 7, Mariners 5: At New York, Giancarlo Stanton lined a two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and New York erased a five-run deficit to beat Seattle.

Didi Gregorius singled with two outs in the ninth and Stanton hammered an 0-2 breaking ball from reliever Ryan Cook (1-1). The drive traveled a projected 453 feet to left-center for Stanton’s first walk-off homer with the Yankees — his previous one came in April 2014 for the Marlins (also vs. Seattle).
