WP: Dicochea 3-6 / 4.67
HR: Gomez 2 (3)
First baseman Mario Gomez had a big night at the plate to help lead the Ports to victory over the Grizzlies on Friday. The 21-year-old pounded a pair of home runs, slugging a solo shot in the 2nd inning and then belting a two-run blast in the 5th for Stockton. Right fielder Darlyn Montero and center fielder Rodney Green each went 3 for 5 with a double, while designated hitter Joshua Kuroda-Grauer singled twice to raise his average to .422 and drove in a pair for the Ports. This year’s 11th-round draft pick for the A’s, RHP Kyle Robinson, made his first start for Stockton and gave up 2 runs in 2 innings of work, while LHP Derek Corro tossed 2 scoreless innings in relief, and RHP Jose Dicochea allowed 2 runs over 4 frames to pick up the win for the Ports.
