Breyson Guedez went yard in the bottom of the 7th to lift the Lugnuts past the Chiefs 6-5. The two-run blast put Lugnuts on top for good, with Guedez finishing the night with two home runs and four RBIs to lead the offense. The Chiefs' Jack Martinez was sharp through five innings with just one earned run allowed, but it wasn't enough. The clubs face off again Wednesday.
Guedez sent a fly ball to right field in the 7th that scored Pittaro and Sauve, giving Lugnuts the go-ahead run they wouldn't relinquish.
Lugnuts prevailed in the home run battle two to one, with Guedez accounting for both of their long balls while going 2-for-5 with four RBIs on the night.
Martinez was sharp for the Chiefs across five innings, yielding just one earned run with a strikeout, but the early exit left the bullpen exposed down the stretch.
The Lugnuts are losers of 2 straight, 5-5 over their last 10. The Chiefs are winners of 2 straight, 3-7 over their last 10.
The Lugnuts are up next at Loons (Aug 27-29). The Chiefs are up next at Whitecaps (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.
