Missions Blanked By RockHounds
Despite matching in the hit column, the host Double-A San Antonio Missions dropped a 3-0 decision to the Midland RockHounds. The Missions were shut out for the ninth time this season.

Missions right-handed starter Abraham Parra gave up three runs (two earned) on three hits over five innings, walking three and striking out four. Right-hander Francisco Pena went two scoreless as did left-hander Harry Gustin, who struck out three.

Yoiber Ocopio Homers For TinCaps, Who Fall To Lugnuts
Yoiber Ocopio hit his first High-A home run, but that was the lone highlight for the Fort Wayne TinCaps, who fell to the host Lansing Lugnuts 8-3.
Ocopio staked the TinCaps to a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning, scoring Kerrington Cross, who singled leading off the inning. It was his first homer in 14 games with the TinCaps after hitting five in 66 games with the Low-A Lake Elsinore Storm.
TinCaps right-handed starter Bryan Balzer gave up five runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks and two strikeouts over 3⅓ innings. He gave up two runs in the third inning to tie the game and then three in the fourth. The RockHounds added three in the seventh against right-hander Jeferson Villabona. Meanwhile, right-hander Sean Barnett went 1⅔ scoreless innings with two strikeouts, while right-hander Will Varmette had 1⅓ scoreless with three punchouts.

Lan-Hong Su Dazzles With 9 K's, But Storm Pounded
Right-handed starter Lan-Hong Su struck out nine over 4⅔ innings, but the host Low-A Lake Elsinore Storm didn't produce much offensively in an 11-1 loss to the Inland Empire 66ers.
Jose Verdugo had two of the Storm's six hits, while seventh-round draft pick Joe Tiroly drove in the only run, an eighth-inning single that plated second-rounder Elliot Lascelles (Padres Mission's No. 11 prospect).
Su, the 19-year-old touted international free agent, has had his two biggest strikeout games of his debut season in his last two starts. He followed up a seven-strikeout performance over three innings Aug. 27 vs. Rancho Cucamonga with two more against the 66ers. He only allowed one hit, a two-run homer to his last batter that broke up a scoreless game. Storm left-hander Rob Evans, the Padres' 12th-round draft choice, made his pro debut, giving up one unearned run in one inning on a hit and a walk with one strikeout. Left-hander Jeronimo Palmeros made his Storm debut after nine games in the Arizona Complex League, allowing three runs on a hit and four walks in one inning. Another player made his pro pitching debut. That was 10th-round draft choice Augie Lopez, a catcher who started the game as the designated hitter. Lopez got the final two outs in the top of the ninth and allowed a run.
