Blues Absorb 4-2 Home Loss
The Yakima Hops rode a solid performance from 25-year-old starting pitcher José López to a win, beating the Barton Springs Blues, 4-2, at Blues Field. In 6.2 innings, López surrendered 2 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 9. He allowed 2 runs. The save went to Chet Bailey, number 3 for him.

Yakima used a clutch at-bat from Robert Block to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Hops ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"José is pitching with a lot of determination and a lot of fire," said Yakima manager Juan Valéncia.

With the win over Barton Springs, the Hops improved to 35-30.
