Houston Loses, 5-3, to Chicago in 10
|
Fans who congregated at New League Park were treated to extra-inning drama.
Chicago pitcher Grayson Rodriguez had a large part in his team beating the Houston Titans, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Chicago reliever Cody Poteet was the winner. His record is now 3-1. The losing pitcher was Dylan Floro. Jeremiah Estrada converted his 29th save in 31 tries.
Chicago won the game in part because of Jesus Sanchez. The designated hitter ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Explorers ahead, 5-3. For the game, Sanchez had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.
"What's not to like about a win?" said Sanchez.
With the win over Houston, the Explorers improved to 56-77.
