Game Notes
- In Thursday night's defeat, Salt Lake tallied six errors, falling just one short of the franchise record of seven. This performance represented the team's highest single-game error total since they established that record on July 25, 2005. The Bees fell to 19-32 (11-12 at home) when committing at least one miscue in a game this season.
- Yolmer Sánchez pushed his on-base streak to 13 games tonight, drawing a walk to become the first Bee to reach safely. It marks his sixth straight game with at least one free pass, tied for the second longest active streak in the PCL. This is Sánchez’s ninth contest in 2026 with multiple walks. He reached in all four plate appearances. An eighth-inning double marked his first extra-base hit since June 20 vs. Tacoma, later scoring in his fifth straight contest.
- Zach Humphreys doubled and walked twice tonight. His two-bagger is the 50th career double at Triple-A. Humphreys scored for the second straight game on Christian Moore’s RBI double. Tonight was the designated hitter’s third game in 2026 with multiple walks and first since June 11 at Reno.
- To put the Bees first run on the board, Kyren Paris clubbed his second homer as a Bee this season. The infielder launched an 89 MPH sinker 429 feet onto the patio beyond the centerfield wall. Paris extended his on-base streak to eight games with the round-tripper.
- Logan Porter singled, marking his third straight game with a hit. It matches his season high, accomplished on May 15-20 with Sacramento. Porter has reached safely in six consecutive games, extending his season-long streak.
- Christian Moore tallied a multi-hit night, including a RBI double. He has back-to-back games with a hit and collected two more hits against left-handed pitchers tonight. In 2026, Moore is batting 27-for-64 (.422) versus southpaws.
- With a single in the sixth, Ben Gobbel extended his hit streak to 10 games as well as ensuring he reached in every game as a Bee in 2026 (19 total). Across three levels of play this season, the infielder holds a 24-game on-base streak, dating back to May 30. Gobbel scored in the eighth, his third straight game doing so.
- Rob Kaminsky’s 9.1 inning scoreless streak was snapped on a run scoring double play in the eighth inning. In his last seven appearances, the southpaw holds a 0.87 ERA in 10.1 innings. Opponents are hitting just .217 against Kaminsky in his time as a Bee.
