Unfortunately, Sam Walls gave up a walk and 2 hits for the game's only run in the bottom of the 9th. On Sunday, Darren Byrd gave up 4 runs on 5 hits over 5, all the runs coming in the 3rd inning, and left the game in a 4-4 tie. Carlos Monasterios came in and hit 2 batters, walked another one and gave up the winning run. "Monte" fell to 3-4, 2.76 for the year.
