Prospect Of The Game:

Pitcher Jorge Juan

(4 IP / 0 H / 0 ER / 1 BB / 6 K)

Stockton squandered a two-run lead to suffer its third loss in its last four games on Thursday. 22-year-old Dominican RHP Jorge Juan turned in a solid start for Stockton, throwing 4 scoreless and hitless frames while striking out 6, and he left the game with his team up by a run. But tandem starter Trayson Kubo allowed 3 runs, 2 earned, over 2 1/3 innings to take the loss. Shortstop Marcos Brito had a pair of hits, while second baseman Joshwan Wright singled, drew a walk and drove in a run, and first baseman Lawrence Butler doubled to provide the Ports’ only extra-base hit in the loss.
