Fresno outlasted Salt Lake City, 13-12 in a game that featured 32 hits, 29 strikeouts, and six errors over four hours and five minutes. J.J. Hoover came off the I.L. to make the start and was pounded for six runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. Bryan Bonnell was credited with the win with three innings thrown and two runs let in on five hits, both on the longball. James Bourque was summoned with the bases loaded and nobody out and gave up a bases-clearing double before striking out three of the next four batters (he hit the one he didn’t whiff). Carter Kieboom led the Grizzlies hit column with four hits, followed by José “Orange” Marmolejos, who was a double shy of the cycle and drove in four.
