The loss went to Malvin Peña, who gave up the tying run in the 8th for the blown save, then gave up a leadoff triple in the 9th followed by two intentional walks and… you know it… a grand slam in the 9th for the loss. Yasel Antuna doubled, tripled, scored a run, and drove in a run while Jake Alu singled twice to pace the Blue Rocks offense.
