Yakima Hops starter Nelson Otero pitched a strong game against the Virginia Beach Whales at Hops Park, leading the Hops to victory, 5-3. The winner was Otero. He threw 8.0 innings allowing 3 runs. The loser was Barry St. John. With the win, the Hops improved to 33-34.

Ricardo González had a big 2-run home run for the Hops in the bottom of the third inning. With Yakima trailing 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Barry St. John and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Hops on top, 2-1.

"We ground out the win," said González. "That's all that matters."
