- Brian Goodwin was the DH and went 1-for-5 with an RBI double, a run scored, but whiffed twice.
- Matt Skole also had an RBI double and drew a walk while going 1-for-3. He handled all four defensive chances without an error.
- Anthony Rendon saw his 10-game on-base streak snapped with an 0-for-4 effort and two strikeouts. Defensively, he had a putout and two assists.
- Cole Kimball went two scoreless innings and allowed a hit and a walk while fanning one, with 17 of 27 pitches thrown for strikes.
Scottsdale lost its fifth in a row, and still trails Salt River by 1½ games with five games left to play and just one more head-to-head matchup (Tuesday). The Rafters finish the penultimate week of the 2012 AFL season with a game against Phoenix this afternoon.
