The Missions scraped past the Naturals 3-2 on a sixth-inning go-ahead single by Albert Fabian, who finished 3-for-5 to lead San Antonio's offense. Both teams left runners stranded—the Naturals with seven, the Missions with eleven—in a game decided by one quality at-bat. The Missions improved to 53-63 while the Naturals dropped to 47-67. The clubs meet again Thursday.
The Missions got their go-ahead run in the bottom of the sixth when Fabian singled on a ground ball to left field, scoring Kai Roberts and breaking a tight contest.
Fabian paced the Missions with three hits and an RBI, making the difference in a low-scoring affair.
Both lineups wasted scoring chances throughout the night—the Naturals stranded seven runners, the Missions left eleven on base—but San Antonio's one-run edge held up.
The Missions are losers of 5 straight, 3-7 over their last 10. The Naturals are coming off a loss, 6-4 over their last 10.
The Missions are up next at Cardinals (Aug 27-29). The Naturals are up next home vs RoughRiders (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
