Dragons Hold Off Whitecaps in High-A Matchup
The Dragons took control early and held on to beat the Whitecaps 9-5 on the road. Kien Vu drove the attack with two hits, a home run and three RBIs to power the Dragons' offense.

Vu's three-run performance provided the bulk of the Dragons' offensive firepower in a game where the visitors' depth at the plate made the difference down the stretch.
