Grant Rogers had a terrific start for Vancouver, pitching six innings with eight strikeouts and five hits to bring his ERA in High-A to 3.11.

Sanchez struck out two in an inning of work. Bo Bonds was the winning pitcher, striking out a batter in an inning of work.
<h2>Dunedin won in extra innings</h2>
Sunday was the penultimate game for the Dunedin Blue Jays this season, and they defeated the Tampa Tarpons 5-4 in 10 innings.
They only had four hits in this game, with Braden Barry’s triple being the only extra-base hit for the team. Edward Duran, Carter Cunningham, and Manuel Beltre each hit a single. Moreover, the Canadians stole eight bases this game, with Yhoangel Aponte stealing in the top of the fourth.
Gilberto Batista started the game for the D-Jays, finishing with a line of 4.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K to bring his Single-A ERA to 2.70.
